QLM Technology Ltd, developer of a revolutionary emissions measurement and quantification technology, has announced the commercial launch of both Quantum Gas Lidar and the QLM Cloud, an analytics platform for analyzing and managing associated emissions data. QLM's patented Quantum Gas Lidar (QGL) 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. The combined solution of QGL hardware and QLM Cloud are offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) within which users can customize alerts and reports of emissions exceeding select thresholds. 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).
The newly-launched lidar incorporates QLM's latest enhancements in quantification analytics and metrology, and has proven reliability and measurement accuracy in extreme environmental and operational conditions. The system has been certified for deployment around the world. 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.
