CASE STUDY
MethaneTrack™ Helps Customer Identify and Control Leaks from On-Site Compressors, Significantly Reducing Emissions
Overview
Compressors can be a significant source of fugitive methane emissions. And because they do not often leak continually, periodic monitoring is unlikely to detect leaks.
Solution
NevadaNano’s MethaneTrack™ system uses Close-Proximity Continuous Monitoring™ around the compressor to monitor drives, slip, shafts, joints, relief lines and seals, and notifies operators with the location and size of leaks, enabling rapid repair.
Rapid Leak Detection & Notification
- Real-Time Detection: Identified leakage coupled with compressor usage and run time data.
- Precise Repair Guidance: Pinpointed the leaking compressor and where on the compressor, to dramatically improve time to repair.
Results
Pattern Detection: Allowed customer to see time-of-day and day-of-week when leaks were occurring.
Sustainability Impact: Identified assets that required replacement or upgrades.
Operational Efficiency: Link to compressor run-time data provided enhanced leak analytics and validation.
