CleanConnect.ai’s LeakFinder™ system, a core component of the company’s Autonomous365™ operational AI suite, has received approval from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) as an alternative leak detection technology for compliance with 6 NYCRR Part 203 Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Requirements.
Expanding Regulatory Recognition
This milestone builds on CleanConnect.ai’s prior regulatory approvals, including EPA approval as an Alternative Test Method (ATM) under Subpart OOOOb and OOOOc, as well as state-level recognitions in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and New Mexico.
“New York’s approval reinforces the value of empirical, real-time emissions monitoring in modern LDAR programs. Operators need continuous visibility and defensible data, and this approval confirms that LeakFinder meets those standards.”
Advancing Autonomous LDAR in New York
As regulatory expectations evolve toward greater transparency and verification, LeakFinder™ enables operators to transition from periodic inspections to continuous, data-driven compliance.
“This approval demonstrates how autonomous monitoring can align with state regulatory frameworks while improving operational efficiency. We’re proud to support New York operators with certified, real-time emissions intelligence.”
Key Capabilities of LeakFinder™
LeakFinder™ provides a fully autonomous, real-time approach to methane detection and LDAR compliance.
- Approved alternative LDAR method under NYSDEC 6 NYCRR Part 203-7.1(c), following prior EPA and multi-state approvals
- Continuous Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) with component-level detection
- Integrated into the Autonomous365™ platform, supporting gas and liquid leak detection, fire and smoke alerts, PPE compliance, and tank-level telemetry
- Built into a comprehensive MMRV (Monitor, Measure, Report, Verify) framework supporting certifications such as OGMP, MiQ, EO, ISCC, and ISO 14067
- Connected to ProMax 6 for real-time mass balance modeling and emissions analytics
- Deployed using a 3D digital twin to optimize camera placement and eliminate blind spots
- Up to 90% reductions in emissions-related call-outs and a 10x improvement in control room efficiency
By integrating real-time monitoring, AI-powered detection, and certified reporting capabilities, CleanConnect.ai continues to expand the standard for modern emissions management.
