Thoma, E., H. Brantley, AND J. Albertson. Fugitive methane assessment with mobile and fence line sensors. CH4 Connections Workshop, The Woodlands, TX, September 23 - 24, 2014.
Impact/Purpose:
This clearance action is for an invited panel presentation for the “CH4 Connections Workshop” held September 23,24 2014, The Woodlands, TX. The panel is on methane leak detection from natural gas systems. A flyer describing the workshop is attached. This slide set represents a short introduction to next generation fixed-place and mobile sensors for oil and gas leak detection applications.
Description:
There is no published abstract for this short panel talk. The panel presentation titled “Fugitive methane assessment with mobile and fence line sensors” provides a basic introduction to the topic of next generation sensor technologies for identifying and fixing emissions that should be mitigated. The talk outlines both fix-site and mobile sensors with emphasis on future development of automated work truck systems. The transition from mobile research systems to real-world sensor packages is discussed The talk contains five short IR camera videos that illustrate the difference between small leaks only detectable with onsite (method 21 and IR camera approaches) and bigger emissions from malfunctions that can be effectively detected using future envied mobile approaches. The size range of these emissions will be verbally mentioned but is not included in the slides. The organizers want to provide these slides as part of the workshop (PDF format).
