How Continuous Monitoring Identified the Right Problem and Avoided the Wrong Fix

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.

Proven in the Field: Qube Technologies and NGIF ETC Advance Continuous Emissions Monitoring

Qube Technologies has worked with the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre to test and validate its continuous emissions monitoring hardware, data models, and platform at Tourmaline's West Wolf Lake Gas Plant in Alberta. NGIF has also supported Qube financially across multiple rounds. The latest work at the ETC focuses on Qube Lite and Qube Camera, which operate as standalone tools or integrate with Qube Fenceline to deliver equipment-level source detection, precise localization, and visual confirmation in a single platform.

Continuous Monitoring in Practice: Case Studies in Cost, Performance, & Emissions Reduction

See how operators are using Qube’s continuous emissions monitoring to investigate equipment issues, confirm repairs, and reduce unnecessary site visits. Real-world case studies demonstrate the measurable value of pairing emissions data with operational context — across cost reduction, site performance, and emissions management.

Why Not Both? The Best Emissions Monitoring Systems Don’t Choose Between Fenceline and Source-Level Detection

Fenceline and source-level emissions sensors are often treated as competing approaches, but the strongest monitoring programs use both. Fenceline Qubes excel at site-level detection and quantification, while source-mounted sensors like Qube Lite pinpoint exactly which piece of equipment is leaking. Deployed together, the two technologies compensate for each other's blind spots, delivering cost-effective, comprehensive detection, localization, and quantification.

Better Emission Workflows in 2026: Driving Operational Analysis with Qube’s New Products

Qube now delivers equipment-level monitoring (Qube Lite) and imaging (Qube Camera) integrated directly with your process data (e.g., SCADA). By combining emission data with real-time process information, operators gain the context needed to distinguish between routine operations—like venting or blowdowns—and actual equipment failures.

Emission Detection from Heights: Improvements to Qube’s Plume Modeling

Here we show how improvements to our source modeling resulted in better detection of emissions at heights - like storage tanks. These results are verified by blind, third-party testing at METEC in 2025 where Qube’s continuous monitoring detected all releases from heights during the testing period.

Qube’s Probabilistic Duration Model for Methane Emissions

What’s New?

  • Improved emission event bounding that accounts for source coverage

  • Source coverage is calculated based on whether devices are downwind of a particular source at a given time

  • We use short term probability to determine if correlation between source coverage and methane readings is coincidence or correlated

  • Given high enough probability, we can fill in short gaps and extend emissions
