Leak Source Isolation™ Technology: Providing the Location and Quantification of Emissions
One of the core technologies of MethaneTrack™ is the Leak Source Isolation™ (LSI™) software which provides location and quantification of all emissions. LSI™ algorithms combine gas readings from the endpoints with the wind speed and wind direction data to calculate the location and size of the emission using a technique called Inverse Plume Modeling. Inverse Plume Modeling is the process of tracking a gas reading at an endpoint back to the source using the wind direction. While a gas plume model uses wind information to calculate where the gas from a source will travel, Inverse Plume Modeling reverses this process using mathematical algorithms to track the gas readings from the endpoints back to the source using the wind vector.
After LSI™ calculates the location and size of the emission, MethaneTrack™ automatically alerts the operations team of the release and the emission rate, enabling the team to prioritize the abatement work and maximize the emissions reduction. The software displays the location of the leak to enable the repair team to quickly find the emission source, saving time and money.
