- Most cost-effective option on the market.
The challenge
The landmark US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and other global policies directs government spending toward reducing carbon emissions putting methane emissions firmly at the top of the energy industry's agenda.
What this means for the operators of oil and gas assets is much stricter fines and penalties for methane leaks depending on the size of your assets, these fines could be into the billions.
A low-cost solution
No need for trained technicians
On-field personnel perform inspections without the this enables seamless integration into routine duties and 'fit-for-purpose' deployments across different platforms.
This exponentially decreases costs and allows technicians to perform inspections quickly and efficiently resulting in optimised operations and improved productivity.
Seamlessly integrating into existing operations
We provide easy integration and customisation to meet your facility’s unique needs. As the software can effectively operate as a handheld device and on any robot or drone on the market.
We have successfully detected, quantified, and reported fugitive emissions in 9 natural gas facilities.
Iris Edge is cost-effective in comparison to traditional tools:
Iris Edge is able to locate the exact location of methane leaks utilising 3D visualisation software.
Fully autonomous data analysis
Autonomous methane emissions localisation and quantification with unparalleled accuracy
Analysis is carried out immediately and without need for operator intervention.
Flange-level accuracy
The software uses physics-based methane emission measurements with wind speed factored into the analysis.
No more ‘searching for a needle in a haystack.’
There is no need for human review so saving time and cost while providing superior localisation
100% accuracy in detecting fugitive emissions.
Our technology has been verified at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and tested at the DOE-sponsored METEC Center and the Canadian government-sponsored Alberta Methane Emissions Project.
Unmatched methane localisation and quantification
Emissions are documented as 3D models with localised anomalies the methane concentration is then quantified as PPM and the methane flow rate is derived from dispersion models. Additionally, wind speed is factored into the analysis.
We have helped nine facilities save over 156 tons of methane in 2022.
Precise measurements enable effective monitoring and control of fugitive emissions and auditable documentation allows for clean gas certification.
Auditable results for reporting and certification
Instant alerts of methane emission detection
Enhance your revenue through transparent, compliant, and certifiable documentation of your operations, with a live dashboard with methane intensity levels and inspection results.
The system contains digital records of current and past inspections with analysis and leak and repair tracking on a map which allows you to monitor and manage your methane emissions proactively.
MiQ clean gas certification
The system presents unbiased data and analysis for transparent process audits supported in a transparent and auditable manner.
Avoid high penalties and monetise your operations via methane performance credits.
