Abstract Information :
The safety risk posed by methane leaks has long been understood. The explosive dangers posed by hydrocarbons have been demonstrated by disasters such as Buncefield have furthered the development of gas detection methodology. However, there has been a covert danger accumulating, one so insidious that it has largely escaped the spot light until now. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and contributes significantly to today’s climate crisis. In this presentation we discuss: is there a way to adapt our existing gas detection systems so that they can contribute not only to our need to prevent safety hazards from leaks, but our ever growing need to monitor small leaks? The energy transition repeatedly highlights the cost effectiveness of reusing existing assets as a way to lower costs and speed up deployment. What if you can use your existing systems in a new way by increasing the focus on data capture? What if you could further supplement this by adding new and sophisticated continuous emissions monitoring in to your existing infrastructure? Could you potentially expedite your move to cleaner, greener operations by taking a fresh look at your existing equipment?
