Plume of the Week! With the attention around identifying and plugging leaky orphaned and abandoned oil & gas wells, we’ve been making measurements with QLM’s Quantum Gas Lidar that showcase its ability to remotely detect and quantify even low-level methane emissions from this type of infrastructure (i.e. an open pipe or well casing). Below are some examples of leaks of various sizes diffusing out of such open pipes.

Today we add yet another US patent to our growing portfolio. In this patent, US 11,714,047, “Method to Determine Gas Absorption in Rapidly Tuned Diode Lidar,“ we have patented our unique gas emission rate quantification algorithm. QLM’s Quantum Gas Lidar measures the absorption of the atmosphere versus laser wavelength and isolates, identifies, and accurately counts the number of methane molecules that contributes to this absorption. By precisely counting the number of methane molecules in the lidar laser image, we can quantify the three dimensions of a fugitive emission gas plume and measure exactly the size (i.e. flow rate) of the emission.

Last week, QLM conducted a two-day field demonstration held at the Pacific Gas and Electric Company Winters Gas Safety Academy, organized jointly with Allen Waxman of CH4IQ (Methane Imaging & Quantification), David Berry of the Sustainable & Resilient Resources Roundtable, Stan Bronson of Alliance for a Climate Resilient Earth (ACRE), and Erwin Villiger of LMI. This series of measurements of live, controlled methane releases focused on how QLM’s Quantum Gas Lidar could be applied to emissions detection & quantification in natural gas distribution applications as well as in orphaned oil & gas well remediation. In attendance were PG&E staff, and guests from SoCalGas, National Energy Technology Laboratory, Berkeley Lab, Los Alamos National Laboratory, California Public Utilities Commission, and California Air Resources Board. Below are some images from the event, including QLM lidar imagery of quantified emissions ranging from 0.5-40 SCFH (~ 10-768 g/h, ~ 0.24-19 L/min) at distances of 10-50m.

Many thanks to all the organizers, guests and to PG&E for hosting the event!  More about QLM Quantum Gas Lidar at: https://qlmtec.com/

Today we’re commercially launching both our Quantum Gas Lidar (QGL) and QLM Cloud, an analytics platform for managing the measured emissions data. The combined solution of QGL hardware and QLM Cloud are offered via a SaaS product. QLM’s Quantum Gas Lidar is also available through SLB, our partner for the oil & gas industry, as a part of their Methane Digital Platform offering from SEES (SLB End-to-end Emissions Solutions). https://lnkd.in/gnUY4B7n
Our patented QGL product is unique in the marketplace, combining leading-edge quantum photonics detection technology, telecom tunable lasers and robust lidar to achieve detailed, 360 degree images of equipment up to 200m away and any associated methane emissions, with exceptional accuracy. The resulting gas lidar images are analyzed and stored, and significant emissions events and related analysis are reported through the QLM Cloud, within which users can customize alerts and reports of emissions exceeding select thresholds.
 
The newly-launched lidar incorporates our latest enhancements in quantification analytics and metrology, and has demonstrated high reliability and measurement accuracy in extreme environmental and operational conditions. The system has been certified for deployment around the world. It has previously been validated in controlled gas release testing by NPL in the UK, in blind testing by TotalEnergies at their TADI facility in France, and most recently has shown industry-leading performance in blind ADED trials at the CSU METEC facility. Both US and UK patents have been granted around its core quantum technology architecture.
 
QLM’s continuous monitoring solution detects emission sources and accurately quantifies their flow rates, locating them in 3D, so that the most consequential emitters can be prioritized and addressed. The system provides a comprehensive, scalable, cost-effective continuous emissions management and reporting solution enabling customers to show achievement of ESG goals and compliance with OGMP 2.0 level 4/5, US EPA, PHMSA and other emerging regulatory reporting requirements.

We love it when members of our Board of Directors visit our optics R&D and production labs, and especially when they come dressed for the occasion! We recently hosted them at our manufacturing facility at EPIC (Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre) in Paignton, on the coast of Torbay in Devon, England, which is not only beautiful, but has long been a hub for photonics R&D and manufacturing.

QLM is pleased to announce results from this year’s METEC ADED campaign. The details are in our press release below:

QLM Quantum Gas Lidar Leads Industry in Independent Trials 
 
Continuous Methane Leak Monitoring Solution Shown to be Highly Effective in Detecting, Locating and Quantifying Fugitive Emission Sources in 3-Month Blind Testing at METEC
 
Cardiff, UK, June 29, 2023 — QLM Technology Ltd’s new Quantum Gas Lidar has recently demonstrated industry-leading performance at the Methane Technology Evaluation Center (METEC) at Colorado State University. METEC is a recognized world leader in realistic and rigorous field testing and independent validation of industrial natural gas leak detection technology. The METEC Advancing Development of Emissions Detection (ADED) trials consist of 3-month long continuous tests where equipment is required to identify, locate and quantify hundreds of individual, simulated emissions over a football field-sized area containing various gas industry equipment including wellheads, separators and storage tanks. QLM’s new methane monitoring solution was tested under the ADED blind testing protocol. It operated uninterrupted throughout the 81-day trial from 7 February to 28 April. It detected and quantified 264 individual methane leaks ranging in size from 0.05 to 7 kg/h, identifying 1.39 (75%) of the 1.85 tonnes of total trial emissions, at ranges from 10 to 80 meters, locating the leaks with a mean accuracy of 2.4 m and accurately quantifying them with a 1-sigma factor uncertainty of only 2x. Harsh weather conditions during the campaign included rain, fog, and heavy snowfall, temperatures from -27 to +27 °C and winds averaging 11 km/h, gusting over 100 km/h. We believe this performance is among the best ever demonstrated for any type of continuous methane monitoring technology and that the demonstrated performance will exceed the anticipated US EPA requirements for continuous monitoring solutions for fugitive emissions in the oil and natural gas industry. The QLM system is emerging as the gold standard for detecting, locating and quantifying fugitive and intermittent natural gas emissions.
