US' Montrose Environmental launches VeriPlume Capture System

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.

“Reducing methane emissions is one of the fastest, most effective ways to slow rising global temperatures, and innovation is at the heart of that mission,” said Steve Woodard, Chief Innovation Officer at Montrose Environmental Group. “The VeriPlume Capture System exemplifies how Montrose combines engineering ingenuity with environmental responsibility to deliver solutions that protect the planet, improve technician safety and help our clients meet evolving regulatory requirements.”

Montrose has 31 patents and multiple trademarks along with a growing portfolio of technologies, including the patent-pending VeriPlume Capture System process, which tackle some of the world’s toughest environmental challenges. Among these are:

• SORBIX RePURE – A regenerable ion-exchange resin system that removes harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water more efficiently than traditional single-use media. Unlike older methods that generate large volumes of waste and require frequent replacement, SORBIX RePURE enables in-place regeneration, dramatically reducing waste (up to 80%), lowering lifecycle costs and improving sustainability across municipal, industrial and groundwater applications.
• SuperLoader Technology – A PFAS immobilization system that converts concentrated PFAS waste from foam fractionation or regenerable ion exchange resin processes to solid waste. SuperLoaders contain specialized media to adsorb PFAS, maximize media capacity and minimize waste volume.
• Industrial VOC Abatement – A sustainable system for removing hydrocarbons from contaminated vapors at petroleum refineries, chemical production facilities and other industrial sites. The technology uses synthetic media to remove the hydrocarbons, then regenerates the media automatically in place using plant steam. This process reduces operational interruptions, logistical complexities and potential operator error during media changeout. An innovative vapor cooling system further boosts contaminant removal efficiency, cutting waste and lowering operating costs.

These innovations reflect Montrose’s commitment to practical, science-driven solutions that safeguard health and the environment.
