Reducing Emissions with Qube's CO Sensors: A Compressor Efficiency Success Story

Executive Summary

In this case study, Qube Technologies demonstrated the effectiveness of their continuous emissions monitoring solution at a British Columbia natural gas facility in 2023. By deploying a network of ten monitoring devices equipped with multiple sensors (CH4, CO, VOCs, NOx, and PM), the system successfully identified a significant operational issue with a compressor causing elevated methane and carbon monoxide emissions. After detection and subsequent repairs, the facility achieved a 30% reduction in monthly methane emissions and over 99% reduction in monthly carbon monoxide emissions, showcasing how real-time continuous monitoring can lead to substantial operational improvements and emissions reduction. The case highlights Qube's ability to not only detect but also help localize and resolve emission-related issues effectively in industrial settings.
