Emissions Reduction solutions
Reducing Venting from Controlled Tanks
Reduce fugitive emissions on controlled tanks.
Precision pressure monitoring at the top of controlled tanks not only detects emission events but also notifies operators when preventative action can be taken to prevent fugitive emissions.
Proven Outcomes
Through a project with the Methane Innovation Collaborative (MIC)*, Tourmaline field tested TOKU QuickSense Pressure devices at the top of controlled tanks. This project demonstrated the benefits of precision pressure monitoring over methane monitoring and the benefits of the TOKU QuickSense Pressure system in this application.

Emission Event Detection
Precision pressure monitoring is able to indicate a thief hatch opening on a tank. When pressure at the top of a tank drops, the thief hatch has vented because of overpressure. This was confirmed by perimeter methane monitors in a field test.
Preventative Notification
Pressure monitoring also shows rising pressure at the top of storage tanks before the thief hatch opens, so operators can be notified to take preventative action before venting occurred. With trend pressure data, the run time of vapour recovery units can be optimized or pulled back for control.
More Benefits than Methane Monitoring
Pressure monitoring at the top of a controlled tank goes beyond perimeter methane monitoring, providing operators with valuable information they can easily act on to prevent fugitive emissions.
Higher Precision
Every second, TOKU devices collect temperature-compensated pressure measurements, which provides higher precision for the low-pressure measurements seen at the top of controlled tanks (e.g. 1 psi or 6.9 kPa).
Easy Deployment
TOKU devices are easy to deploy because they can be installed by operators in about 5 minutes and deliver data as soon as they are installed (plug-and-play). These CID1 devices are compact, all-in-one packages that integrate power, communications, edge computing, and sensors.
Strong Remote Communications
TOKU devices have an internal antenna for cellular communication from remote locations. In very remote areas, an optional external antenna can boost reception.
*About the Methane Innovation Collaborative (MIC)
MIC, formerly known as the NGIF ETC Program, is Canada’s largest coordinated effort focused on accelerating methane emissions management technologies. A consortium of NGIF Accelerator, Tourmaline Oil Corp., and the University of Calgary, MIC provides cleantech innovators with a controlled lab environment at the University of Calgary, live field trial capabilities at Tourmaline, and commercialization support from NGIF Accelerator to pilot, validate, and commercialize methane measurement, monitoring, and mitigation technologies.
MIC is currently supported by the Government of Alberta (Environment and Protected Areas).
