    Abstract: A method of reducing plant emissions includes providing a MPC model for a flaring process including one-to-one models between controlled variables (CVs) including a smoke count and/or a flare count (CV1) and a noise level (CV2), and flow of assist gas as a manipulated variable (MV) and another process gas flow as a disturbance variable (DV). The MPC model receives sensed flare-related parameters during the flaring process including a measure of CV1 (CV1*) and CV2 (CV2*). Provided CV1* is above a minimum setpoint for CV1 (CV1 setpoint) and CV2* is above a setpoint for CV2 (CV2 setpoint), the flaring process is automatically controlled using the MPC model which determines an updated flow setpoint for MV from CV1* and CV2*, the CV1 and CV2 error, and the identified one-to-one models.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for predicting fugitive leaks are provided. For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving current operating conditions data associated with current operation of one or more operational systems and generating, using a fugitive leak prediction model, fugitive leak predictions corresponding to the current operation of the one or more operational systems. The fugitive leak prediction model may be a machine learning model trained based at least in part on historical operating conditions data associated with past operation of the one or more operational systems and historical fugitive emissions data associated with the past operation of the one or more operational systems, and the fugitive leak prediction model may be configured to generate the fugitive leak predictions based at least in part on the current operating conditions data

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for predicting methane emissions intensity are provided. For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving projected production parameters and emissions reduction strategy information associated with one or more operational systems for a period of time and generating, using a methane emissions intensity prediction model, methane emissions intensity predictions based on the projected production parameters and the emissions reduction strategy information along with historical operational data and historical emissions data for the one or more operational systems. The methane emissions intensity prediction model may be a machine learning model trained on the historical operational data and historical emissions data and possibly simulated emissions data.
