US Patent 10948472 Discrete emissions detection for a site

Undetected emissions may damage devices at a work site and pose a safety hazard to the surrounding environment. A method of control based on predictive emissions detection is disclosed. The method uses sensors coupled to work site equipment to identify devices and regions of a work site that may be affected by adverse conditions. Detection of such emissions may allow the system or operator to shut down or otherwise act on equipment before any harm is done to the device or personnel in the area.
