SENSIT’s SPOD and FMD nailed 73% detection in METEC testing—ranking 2nd overall with high accuracy and just 8% false positives.
SENSIT Technologies recently participated in the Advanced Detection Evaluation for Continuous Monitoring (ADED-CM) at the CSU METEC test center. Over a three-month period, 351 experiments were conducted with 783 controlled methane releases under varying environmental and operational conditions. This rigorous, real-world testing environment evaluated the performance of continuous monitoring systems in detecting fugitive methane emissions.
SENSIT’s metal oxide-based SPOD and laser-based FMD systems demonstrated strong performance, accurately detecting 560 controlled releases—resulting in a 73% true positive rate. The systems also achieved a low false positive rate of just 8%, placing them among the top-performing technologies in this year’s testing cohort. The probability of detection increased with higher emission rates, showing reliable detection capability across multiple operational scales.
These results affirm the effectiveness of SENSIT’s monitoring solutions for continuous emissions detection. The systems maintained full operational uptime and delivered results that contributed to advancing methane mitigation efforts. With second-best performance in the 2024 test year, SENSIT continues to demonstrate leadership in environmental sensing technology.
