Management of response to triggering events in connection with monitoring fugitive emissions
DCFirst Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing a response to a fugitive emissions monitor of a component, comprising:
- determining whether a signal from a toxic vapor analyzer (TVA) has been received;
if no signal from the TVA has been received, then determining that the TVA has malfunctioned;
displaying a message indicating that the TVA has malfunctioned due to a flame out and a first instruction to determine the status of a flame inside the TVA; and
displaying one or more queries to confirm that the first instruction has been performed.

Abstract
Method for managing a response to a triggering event in connection with a fugitive emissions monitor of a component. In one implementation, the method may include determining whether an input is a triggering event. If the input is a triggering event, then a message regarding the triggering event and one or more actions to remedy the triggering event may be displayed. The method may further include displaying one or more queries to confirm that the actions have been completed.

6. A method for managing a response to a fugitive emissions monitor of a component, comprising:
-
determining whether a parts per million (PPM) level of an air sample detected by a toxic vapor analyzer (TVA) exceeds a predetermined amount; if it is determined that the PPM level of the air sample exceeds the predetermined amount, then displaying a message indicating an existence of a leak on the component and a set of instructions to notify a supervisor and obtain a signature of the supervisor; and displaying one or more queries to confirm that the set of instructions has been performed.

7. A method for monitoring a component for fugitive emissions, comprising:
-
calculating a first amount of time to monitor the component; determining whether a deflection in a signal received from a toxic vapor analyzer has occurred while the component is being monitored during the first amount of time; and if the deflection in the signal has occurred, then displaying a first message to instruct an operator to monitor the component for a second amount of time at the conclusion of the first amount of time. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
