Abstract
Embodiments presented provide for a method for detecting emissions. The method establishes a map that is used with prevailing wind conditions to establish a point source location for methane gas emissions.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- obtaining wind prevailing conditions for a site;
- obtaining sensor data information for the site;
- processing the wind prevailing conditions and sensor data information to produce an event detection and record generation event;
- storing the event detection and record event;
- obtaining a facility map;
- and
- processing the facility map, the stored event detection, and record event to produce a potential source of emissions.

A method for identifying a source of emissions for a given site, comprising:
- obtaining wind prevailing conditions for the site;
- obtaining sensor data information for the site;
- processing the wind prevailing conditions and sensor data information to produce a detection and record generation event;
- storing the detection and record event;
- obtaining a facility map;
- and
- processing the facility map, the stored event detection, and record event to produce a potential source of emissions for the site.

A method for developing an emissions spatial coverage map for a facility, comprising:
- obtaining wind prevailing conditions for positions at the facility;
- obtaining sensor data information for positions at the facility;
- processing the wind prevailing conditions and sensor data information to produce the emissions spatial coverage map for the facility;
- comparing the emissions spatial coverage map to a facility map;
- and
- determining if the emissions spatial coverage map encompasses a desired potential leak area for the facility map.

A method for developing a spatial coverage map for a site, comprising:
- obtaining wind prevailing conditions for a site;
- obtaining sensor data information for the site;
- establishing an objective function measure for the site;
- processing the wind prevailing conditions and sensor data information to produce a wind realization for the site;
- storing the wind realization for the site;
- establishing a coverage measure evaluation for the site based on the wind realization;
- determining when the objective measure function has been achieved for the coverage measure evaluation;
- ending the method when the objective function measure is successfully achieved;
- establishing the coverage measure for a given wind realization and
- subsequently, establishing the mean coverage measure over all wind realizations
- then, continuing an optimization of the mean coverage measure evaluation with the given set of wind realizations until the optimal objective function measure is achieved.
