Product Overview
Overview
MIRICO focuses in continuous, wide area monitoring of hazardous and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across entire sites with just a single instrument. Gases detected include methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and ammonia.
Real-time data collection and analysis by MIRICO allows operators to promptly identify, pinpoint, visualize, and measure emissions on-site. Their proprietary technology ensures accurate measurements, even in adverse weather conditions.
Automatic alerts are triggered when unusual events are detected, saving operators time and money by notifying maintenance activities and reducing emissions.
MIRICO empowers companies to assess and establish a baseline for their fugitive emissions, enabling proactive campaigns for emission reduction, aligning with their net-zero goals.
MIRICO's technology utilizes Laser Dispersion Spectroscopy (LDS), which offers enhanced sensitivity, stability, and reliable measurements in their sensors. The company's cloud based analytics enables real-time visualisation of data collected, including emission detection, localization and quantification at source and site levels.

Technology Innovations
The patented Laser Dispersion Spectroscopy (LDS) technology delivers wide-area monitoring of a complete energy facility. The sensor generates real-time data on gas emissions in almost all weather conditions.
Optical transmission sensing systems measure small signal changes (molecular absorption) on top of a large background (total optical power arriving at the detector). Such a measurement is subject to misinterpreted transmission changes and baseline optical power variations, both of which affect the overall sensitivity and stability of concentration measurements. In contrast, MIRICO’s patented LDS technology measures optical molecular dispersion via a differential phase measurement of the light. This eliminates background/baseline and most of the common noise associated with long atmospheric paths (turbulence).
Applications
- Fugitive emissions monitoring
- Site emissions monitoring
- Continuous monitoring to ensure emissions compliance e.g. OGMP, EPA
