Fugitive emission monitoring

Fugitive emissions are the emissions to the atmosphere resulting from leaking piping sources and equipment such as valves, flanges, pump seals, connections, compressor seals, open lines and pressure relief valves. In general these emissions are not visually observable, but can be measured in relatively low PPM concentrations at each source. Although the emission of one single source might seem small, a large number of these leaking sources might result into a significant emission. The acknowledgements in loss of raw materials, the danger of explosions and the environmental aspect have created awareness that companies and organisations should work on their monitoring programs. The absence of a thorough maintenance and monitoring program, these emissions are the most significant cause of atmospheric pollution resulting from plant activities. This proves the necessity of monitoring programs.

Other reasons to perform a fugitive emission monitoring program are:
- Environmental reasons (less emissions)
- Safety reason (explosion, fire)
- Health of employees (imissions)
- Financial reasons (savings of raw materials)
- Corporate programs
- Responsible Care
- External influences
- The Law, Permit, Neighbours

During our monitoring program (LDAR project), each leak will be characterised in three different ways:
- a unique Leak Equipment Code (LEC = tag), by tagging the equipment involved.
- this LEC will be marked on the relevant stream on the P&ID.
- the LEC will be mentioned and fully described in the SFEMP database.

At the end of each monitoring project we will produce a detailed repair order list to allow immediate emission reduction and possible project payback.

Some of the advantages working with our company are:
• We have more than 11 years off practical experience (started in 1991)
• We work fully independent, without assistance of customer employees
• We have already monitored more than 2.000.000 sources
• Close cooperation with maintenance department for reparation work
• We have many happy multinational customers, see reference list
• We have developed an excellent emission management database
• We search for the best solution for each customer
• We analyse and discuss your future emission monitoring strategy
• We can guaranty project continuity:
We have many LDAR specialist who love their job
We have many detections devices (FID/PID/Sensor)
We are willing to create Service Level Agreements
• We have our own developed Standard Operating Procedures
• We have our own Quality and Safety guidelines
• We think for- and with the customer
• We want you to be, and stay our happy customer
