Fugitive emission monitoring

Catch emission events as they happen. Trace them to their source.

Wireless, battery-powered sensors on your fenceline, stockpiles and process installations. Our software flags each incident, tracks how far it reached and points to the likely source.

The problem

Fugitive emissions don't wait for your measurement campaign.

“

On Tuesday, a neighbour calls about dust on their car on Sunday night. Your reference station shows a normal daily average. Your last measurement campaign was in spring.

You know something happened. You can’t show what, where or why.”

A familiar Tuesday for EHS teams

daily avg12 min

Sporadic

Minutes, not days.

Dust peaks last minutes. A daily average flattens them.

Diffuse

Many sources at once.

Stockpiles, conveyors, slag and traffic emit together, across the whole site.

complaintevent

Intermittent

Gone before anyone looks.

By the time someone checks, the dust has moved with the wind.

Regulation

Under the revised IED and other regulations, diffuse emissions get more attention in permitting and inspection.

why existing solutions fall short

A single point measurement can't describe a kilometre-wide site.

Stack analysers and spot samples were built for one location and one moment. Fugitive emissions drift, spike and move with the wind across dozens of sources at once.

The old way

Point and periodic

With VersaSense

Continuous and site-wide

Blind between the points

One station sees one spot. Dust from a conveyor 200 m away is invisible.

Spatial coverage

Sensors at stockpiles, loading bays and the fenceline, on one site map.

Snapshots miss peaks

Periodic sampling captures a moment. Short and overnight events slip through.

Continuous detection

Peaks and short releases are flagged as they happen, not at the next audit.

No source attribution

When a limit is exceeded, you can't tell which source caused it.

Source and wind attribution

Sensor patterns plus wind data point to where a peak came from.

Hard to scale

Wired analysers are costly to cable across a live site, so you get only a few.

Wireless, battery-powered

No cabling to the field. Add or move sensors as the site changes.

HOW IT WORKS

From an emission peak to its likely source, in four steps.

Wireless sensors in the field, an IoT network that needs no cabling, and software built for the people who handle complaints and inspections.

01 · Monitor

Sensors where emissions start.

Wireless, battery-powered sensors on fencelines, stockpiles and process installations, indoors and out. Dust is measured continuously in five particle sizes.

PM0.5–PM10

Gas / VOC / noise / wind

02 · Detect

Each incident logged, with start, duration and severity.

When levels cross the threshold you set for a location, the platform opens an incident and alerts your team.

Thresholds per location

Real-time alerts

03 · Assess

See how severe it was, and how far it reached.

Time-weighted averages, durations and trends per location, compared month on month. Fenceline sensors show what reached your neighbours.

24h time-weighted average

04 · Identify

Trace it back to the likely source.

Sensor patterns and wind direction on one map point upwind, to the likely source. Process data from your own systems shows what was running at the time.

In practice

One afternoon, one dust incident, start to finish.

Six minutes from first peak to likely source. Our software does the detective work.
