EmissionsTrack™: Automated Monitoring for Methane, Hydrogen, and all Hydrocarbons
An automated continuous emissions monitoring system tailored to your industry and gas detection needs.
EmissionsTrack™ is an Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) system that enables companies to cost-effectively meet their methane, hydrogen and all hydrocarbon emission reduction goals by accurately locating and quantifying emissions, and automating emissions documentation and reporting with high security, cloud-based software. Importantly, EmissionsTrack™ is Intrinsically Safe enabling close-proximity monitoring.
Automated Methane, Hydrogen & All Hydrocarbon Emission Detection
EmissionsTrack™ offers a cost-effective network of robust monitoring points designed to accurately measure methane, hydrogen and all hydrocarbon emissions. EmissionsTrack™ not only monitors emissions 24/7/365 but also utilizes cloud-based software to swiftly report the location and emission rate of any leaks to operators, enabling a prioritized response to meet emission reduction goals and comply with regulatory requirements.
Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
EmissionsTrack™ utilizes battery powered, LoRa-based wireless endpoints, and can be mounted on existing infrastructure. The small form factor endpoints eliminate wiring costs, solar panel costs, and the on-going expense of quarterly calibration. Embedded MPS™ sensors in the endpoints are intrinsically safe, programmable for multiple gases, do not poison, do not drift, do not require any field calibration, and have a demonstrated 15-year life.
Automated Emissions Tracking
The EmissionsTrack™ software running in the cloud simplifies the process of reducing emissions by identifying and quantifying leaks and tracking progress. In addition to sending alerts to the repair team, the software displays the emission events and automatically tabulates the emissions to reduce the cost of tracking and reporting results. EmissionsTrack™ is cloud agnostic, and can expose leak data via a secure, private API, or message bus.

How it Works
The EmissionsTrack™ system consists of a gateway, an anemometer, and multiple endpoints deployed at each site. Because there is no need for wiring, a typical site installation can be completed by a single technician in just a few hours.
EmissionsTrack™ endpoints sample the surrounding air, measuring gas concentrations.
Encrypted data is transmitted to the cloud, where proprietary Leak Source Isolation™ algorithms analyze the data, along with the wind data from the anemometer, to quantify the leak size and pinpoint the leak location.
EmissionsTrack™ dashboard analytics and reporting platform visualizes the data and automatically alerts the right people that an emission event has occurred.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
EmissionsTrack™ is highly cost-effective for oil and gas operators.
- Automated 24/7/365 leak detection for rapid detection of emissions
- Reliable low-cost electronics for optimal Return-On-Investment
- Rapid installation on existing infrastructure – no disruption of production or expensive infrastructure projects

- Comprehensive emissions reports save time and money by automating the emissions tracking process
The EmissionsTrack™ Endpoint:
Precise, portable, and virtually maintenance-free
A complete “Fix-and-Forget” solution
- No field calibration
Immunity to saturation and poisoning and no field calibration eliminates the prohibitive cost of quarterly calibration trips & sensor replacements.
- Highly accurate detection powered by The MPS™
Detection range from 50 to 1M ppm with built-in environmental compensation for temperature, relative humidity, and pressure for near-zero false positives. - Very wide operating range & self-testing capability
-40°C to 75°C operating range with up to 100% relative humidity. Built-In Self-Test (BIST) capability continuously evaluates the system to ensure it is operating to specification. - 5-year battery life and 15-year sensor life
No wiring and long battery and sensor life reduces the need for frequent on-site visits and ensures uninterrupted monitoring.
- Certified as Intrinsically Safe
Class 1, Div. 1 and Zone 0 certified and global safety certifications such as FM, CSA, IECEx, ATEX, and IP65+.
Simple and efficient installation in minutes
- Mounted onto existing infrastructure.
- No need for wiring.
- A typical site installation can be completed by a single technician in just a few hours – enabling installation of several sites per day per installer.
WITH PROXIMITY COMES ACCURACY
Close-Proximity Continuous Monitoring™
EmissionsTrack™ endpoints are certified Intrinsically Safe, which enables immediate detection to obtain the most precise measurements of emission location and emission rates, due to proximity to the emission source.
- Immediate detection before the wind dilutes and distorts the gas plume
- Ultra-low false positives
- Highly accurate emission localization
- Best in class quantification of the emission rate
