White Paper: METEC Testing Results for BluBird™ Continuous Emissions Monitoring System

In early January 2022, Earthview deployed its BluBird™ Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) for emissions testing and evaluation by the Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center (METEC) with the University of Colorado in Fort Collins.

The objective of this test was to evaluate the BluBird platform in a rigorous, real-world setting.

The test results confirmed BluBird can:

• Detect fine changes in CH4 concentrations under field conditions, including the ability to account for changes in background air conditions.

• Detect an emission rate of 1.0 kg/hr at distances ranging from 130 to 180 feet from the source.

• Detect a CH4 increase above background of at least 0.3 ppm.

• Quantify emission rates with a useful degree of accuracy in typical field conditions.

The test results proved that BluBird excels as a continuous emissions monitoring platform, far exceeding minimum detections limits (MDL) set forth by both the EPA (10 kg/ hour MDL) and MiQ (25 kg/hour as MDL).

We documented the METEC test results in a white paper, which covers the test in more detail.
