mPACT2WO, a Molex business dedicated to providing early-detection digital solutions for industrial operators, has successfully partnered with CITGO to deploy its mRegz™ AirCompliance system at the company’s Corpus Christi facility. The collaboration aims to enhance emissions monitoring and align with upcoming US Environmental Protection Agency Hazardous Organic NESHAP regulations.
In response to community concerns and increased regulatory scrutiny following a permit application to expand operations, CITGO turned to mPACT2WO for a solution that would provide precise, real-time emissions data. The mRegz™ AirCompliance system was selected for its ability to detect emissions at parts-per-billion levels and pinpoint leak sources with high accuracy, enabling rapid root-cause analysis and timely corrective action.
Adrian Araiza, corporate environmental services manager at CITGO, highlighted the importance of the collaboration: “By utilising state-of-the-art technology from mPACT2WO, CITGO ensures that our fenceline monitoring not only meets regulatory standards but also sets new benchmarks in safety and environmental responsibility.”
The system, powered by advanced photoionisation detector sensors and AI-driven analytics, provided CITGO with early detection capabilities that extended beyond the facility’s fenceline. This insight allowed CITGO to propose a forward-thinking alternative monitoring plan that addressed community concerns, facilitated permit approval, and supported increased throughput at its marine terminal.
“Our goal is to help operators optimise emissions monitoring and reduce risks at their plants through real-time data identification,” said Krishna Uppuluri, vice president and general manager at mPACT2WO. “By leveraging real-time AI and state-of-the-art sensors with mRegz™ AirCompliance, we were able to identify the sources of the increased emissions for our customer.”
The mPACT2WO solution-as-a-service model transforms complex datasets into actionable insights using AIoT. This approach empowers field teams to detect anomalies early, conduct effective root-cause analysis, and respond swiftly—reducing risks and enhancing operational efficiency.
Designed for applications including fenceline monitoring, LDAR (leak detection and repair), tank farms, pipelines, terminals, process safety, and remote site management, the mRegz™ AirCompliance system is helping to redefine industry standards in emissions monitoring and regulatory compliance.
