Problem
Fugitive methane emissions from energy infrastructure are invisible and difficult to monitor continuously, leading to significant environmental impact and operational inefficiencies. Current detection methods often lack the granularity and real-time data required for effective mitigation and cost control.
Solution
Lambda QuanTech offers MethaneGuard™, an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution leveraging LoRaWAN technology for continuous, real-time monitoring of fugitive methane emissions. This system provides granular data on emission sources, enabling energy companies to proactively address leaks. By visualizing previously invisible methane releases, the platform supports targeted leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs. This facilitates a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and optimizes operational expenditures through improved asset integrity and reduced product loss.
Target Audience
The primary customers are operators within the oil and gas, natural gas, and petrochemical industries seeking to enhance their environmental compliance and operational efficiency through advanced emissions monitoring.
