When Qube's continuous monitoring system detected elevated emissions around a BTEX system, the combustor was the obvious suspect. By analysing emission patterns across different control valve configurations, the team used the monitoring data to work through a structured diagnosis. The right repair was made, emissions returned below baseline, and the operator avoided unnecessary capex on equipment the data had already cleared.

A malfunctioning back pressure regulator at a tank and separator went undetected until continuous monitoring flagged it. Here's how real-time data prevented a costly cascade of equipment failures and saved the operator $9,000 in a single emissions event.

When potential methane sources are located close together, how do you know which unit is actually emitting?

This case study shows how Qube Lite, our new intrinsically safe methane sensor, helps operators distinguish emission source from a single tank at a tank farm.
