CSU’s METEC ADED Testing Campaign

Futuristic walruses basking on the beach at sunset? No, actually recent images of oil & gas separators from our ongoing deployment at METEC – lidar range image (left) and lidar intensity with the overlaid methane imaging (right) of a natural gas leak from our quantum gas lidar camera. Real-time, high-resolution emissions imagery like this helps operators immediately know where emissions are and how big they are, so remediation can be prioritized for the most important issues. Since the imagery enables analytics to understand the difference between, say, normal venting and emergent leaks from malfunctioning equipment, unnecessary truck rolls to the field are avoided. Images like this best showcase the value of the QLM technology like words can’t.

We are participating in the “Advancing Development of Methane Detection” (ADED) automated/continuous methane monitoring trials at the Colorado State University Energy Institute’s Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center (METEC). METEC is a proving ground for emissions tech like ours, providing transparent, scientific performance validation and providing technology providers like QLM massive amounts of real-world data for continuous improvement and algorithm development.
