Intelligent Emissions Monitoring

We help industry, municipalities, and researchers overcome emission problems to protect the environment and the people in it.

Air Detection and Ranging (Airdar)

Airdar draws inspiration from the polar bear, whose nose acts like a compass both above and below the ice. Polar bears can detect a seal several kilometres away and can even smell their prey’s breath!

Municipalities

Meet environmental goals, resolve community odour problems, and better understand smog-related emissions.

Industries

Recover leaking resources, improve worker safety, and reduce environmental impacts of operations.

Natural emission sources — Natural Sources

Gain an understanding of emissions released from lakes, volcanoes, and other natural sources.

"Airdar itself represents a brilliant application of known technologies in new and unique ways that has made possible virtually continuous monitoring of gas emissions, such as methane, from any industrial facility."
Roy Kanten, P.Eng | Energy Efficiency & GHG Advisor
Keyera Energy

“We were astounded by [Airdar’s] capabilities… to accurately predict the location and characteristics of fugitive sources. We are convinced the Airdar technology is an important development and a solution to challenges facing our company and the industry.”
Rod Sikora, P. Eng | Environment Manager
Golder Associates

“We at Golder Associates have been fortunate to work and collaborate with Airdar Inc. on several projects over the last 10 years. One of the most remarkable aspects of the technology is that in each case where a facility or area has been analyzed, the results have contained new, unexpected and relevant information about emissions occurring in the area. The technology is truly a made-in-Alberta solution to monitoring and quantifying emissions in both challenging and routine scenarios, and often in dangerous or difficult to access locations.”
Chris Madland | Associate Sr. Air Quality Scientist
Cleanit Greenit

“The services provided by the Airdar team have been crucial in helping us determine how to proceed with addressing odours at our facility.”

Airdar provides intelligent emissions monitoring of methane and other compounds

Airdar Features

Continuous Monitoring

Identify intermittent sources and large emission events that other technologies miss.
Accurate Quantification

Estimate emission rates of individual sources and entire sites with up to 90% accuracy.
Remotely Controlled

Operate without personnel on-site. No source is too high or too dangerous to monitor.
Unbiased Source Location

Track fugitive emissions back to their sources without the need to aim a monitoring instrument directly at an assumed source location.
Sitewide Coverage

Monitor all facility components simultaneously to locate the exact air vent, pipe, tank or other source that is emitting.
Offsite Source Location

Detect off-site emission sources that cause problems and confusion on-site. Large sources have been located at distances as great as 22 km away.
