Kuva Camera by Sensirion Receives EPA Approval for Methane Monitoring

Sensirion Connected Solutions' Kuva camera has received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for continuous methane monitoring. This approval establishes Kuva as an Alternative Test Method under NSPS OOOOa/b regulations, confirming its compliance with U.S. federal standards, crucial for the oil and gas industry.

The Kuva camera uses advanced short-wave infrared imaging combined with RGB visualization to effectively detect, locate, and quantify methane emissions. This technology shifts away from traditional periodic inspections like Optical Gas Imaging or Audio-Visual-Olfactory surveys, offering continuous visual insights that enhance operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

With EPA certification, Kuva enables operators to perform monthly screenings, streamline reporting, and proactively manage methane emissions. Sensirion's solutions now include both the Kuva camera and Nubo Sphere, further bolstering its position in emissions monitoring.
