Montrose Environmental Launches Patent-Pending VeriPlume Capture System To Reduce Methane Emissions

New solution tackles one of the largest sources of methane emissions—high-volume vents—while advancing technician safety

At a time when nations and corporations are falling short of methane emissions goals, Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (NYSE:MEG) is leading the way with breakthrough technology that delivers tangible results against escalating global temperatures and ensures greater safety for technicians. The company's latest innovation, the VeriPlume Capture System™, now patent-pending, was developed to address one of the most significant sources of methane emissions: high-volume vents. This advancement underscores Montrose's ongoing leadership in emissions reduction and its commitment to innovation that drives both environmental and operational progress.

The VeriPlume Capture System™ was designed to solve a critical challenge in methane measurement: technician safety and accurate capture of emissions from vents located up to 60 feet above ground. Traditional methods often require costly man-lifts and expose technicians to unnecessary risk. VeriPlume's lightweight, carbon-fiber telescoping system enables technicians to measure emissions from the ground, enhancing safety while eliminating friction losses common in older hose-based systems to improve collection efficiency. The result? More accurate plume measurement, faster deployment and cost savings for clients. This innovation helps oil and gas operators comply with EPA OOOO-b regulations, which mandate repairs for vents emitting excessive gas—a source of emissions consistently larger than fugitive leaks.
