Complete LDAR project

To meet the needs of our clients, notably the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, refineries, oil & gas sector, The Sniffers nv/sa has developed leading edge expertise to run turnkey LDAR projects (Leak Detection And Repair) and SFEMP Software to manage and report the gathered Fugitive Emission monitoring data.

A fugitive emission monitoring project is typically conducted in following phases:

Step 1: Preparation of LDAR project
- Information exchange meeting
- Project introduction
- Project scooping
- Coding & naming conventions
- Prepare technical information (medium, stream, drawings, …)
- Stream composition
- YTD production time per stream
- Leak definition, repair definition and tag definition per stream
- Detection equipment to use
- Discuss SFEMP database set-up

Step 2: Database preparation:
- Build site structure (unit - sections - drawings - streams)
- Prepare Basic data
- Prepare Customer data

Step 3: Source inventory:
- Project kick-off meeting
- Safety training
- Site visit
- Define monitoring routes
- Start inventory program
- Import all gathered information into database
- Prepare monitoring phase

Step 4: Unit monitoring phase
- Prepare detection devices and gather relevant information
- Start monitoring program
- Regular status meetings
- Import all measurement data into SFEMP
- Database update

Step 5: First repair attempt
- Prepare tightening lists (sources with leak-rate > repair definition)
- Guide mechanical/operator to leaking sources
- Perform on-line reparation
- Re-monitoring after repair attempt
- Update maintenance information
- Database update

Step 6: Reporting
- Consolidate all gathered data
- Prepare lessons learned
- Create LDAR report
- Detail list of all leaking sources
- Repair orders
- Graphical overview of losses in kg/yr. grouped by
- Source
- Stream
- Medium
- Drawing
- Equipment overview per EPA source
- Top # leakers (in costs and losses)
- Sort on most leaking equipment (= EPA sources)
- Average leakage per equipment type
- Create project presentation (MS-PowerPoint)

Step 7: Project closing
- Hand-over of LDAR report
- Present project presentation
- Discuss project continuation plan
- Installation of SFEMP database
- Train relevant people
