Interview with Robert Ward - Kuva Systems

The Kuva camera is unique that it is a) shortwave IR (not thermal), b) quite low cost, intended to scale across all sites, more so than as a temporary mobile solution. The Kuva camera pans around the site and looks for light missing from the air due to absorption by methane.  The camera colorizes and quantifies the emissions allowing the user to see the source of the leak.  By correlating the time stamp of the leak with process control data we enable the operators to determine the root cause of the leak, many times without visiting the site.
