ETS Presents – PlumeQuant

PlumeQuant* is an analytic tool run from a cloud server laptop or edge device, that combines AI-CV, human intuition and gas physics to calculates an emission rate. It is available in three modes:

Video analysis mode : both single and batch modes.
Live streaming analysis mode for continious monitoring.
Edge operating analysis mode for real time field deployed systems.

Real Time Detection

Emission quantification automatically detects or estimates the emission rate parameters, so values such as distance, differential temperature and wind speed are not necessarily required.
Quantification can be optimized by controlling and verifying the controlling parameters
A field calibration can be performed to measure the temperature difference between an emission and the background.

PlumeQuant (PQ) Features and Advantages

Accurate detection and quantification based upon controlled release gases by Emission Technology Solutions, application of gas physics, and human intuition.

Autonomous environmental analysis minimizing or removing input parameters for quantification, thereby simplifying operations.

Quantification using the Sierra Olympia Technologies Inc. Ventus’ Gas Enhancement Mode (GEM). The GEM mode can increase the detection sensitivity of an emission by a factor of 3 to 7, depending on the environmental conditions. This enables quantification down to a few grams/hr. with the right environmental conditions. Please reference the ETS Appendix K report for the operating window of 5 grams/hr.

Device Integration - The PlumeQuant software can be integrated with other devices to make use of the quantification capabilities in a wide range of applications.

Auto-calibration – if a camera's FOV is not known, the field operator can perform a calibration in the field using known object shapes to establish the camera’s FOV, vertically and horizontally.

Field deltaT calibration – the field operator can perform a field measurement using a Bic lighter to release butane while the PlumeQuant software captures the field data.. Once the images are captured, the temperature differential is saved and used for quantification estimates until the deltaT is measured again.

Auto polarity detection. If the gas emission temperature is greater than the background temperature , the OGI sensor will display the plume as lighter in color, rather than darker. The PlumeQuant software works with either polarity.

Option to use regionally based temperature differential – auto-estimate field temperature differential based on current and regional data

Direct video input compatible with multiple file formats; .TS, mp4, h264
