MEASUREMENT OF HAZARDOUS GASES IN HYDRAULIC FRACKING SITES

摘要

This application discloses a method and an apparatus for the measurement of gases in hydraulic fracking sites, comprising a gas sensor, a computer, and a correction factor wherein the correction factor is applied to the observed gas reading to generate a more accurate reading of the gas level at the site.

主权项

1. An apparatus for gas measurement at a hydraulic fracking site comprising:
(a) a gas sensor having a detection technology selected from the group consisting of photo ionization detection, lower explosion level detection, infra-red detection, and electrochemical detection; and (b) a computer in communication with the gas sensor wherein the computer generates a correction factor and applies the correction factor to a detected gas signal.
