Reduce your VOC and methane emissions and save on operating costs with our Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Program.
Key Benefits of Leak Detection and Repair
- Save money and improve Process Efficiency
- Comply with legislation
- Increase plant safety levels to provide a safer working environment for your employees and the surrounding communities
- Screen Plant Emissions in Accordance to US EPA Method 21 & BS EN 15446 – Reduce your environmental impact by minimising the release of airborne pollution and contaminants
What is Leak Detection and Repair?
A comprehensive LDAR program will help you to reduce emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from your facility, helping you on your journey to Net Zero. A Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program helps you to identify and repair any unintended or fugitive emissions from equipment. This consequently means you will reduce your impact on the environment, enhance worker safety and improve process efficiency, saving you money.
During an LDAR program we identify and repair leaking components, such as valves, pumps, and connectors, allowing you to minimise product loss, improve plant safety and comply with environmental regulations.
What to Expect
An LDAR program is a structured process, it involves:
- Identifying process lines, valves and components
- Tagging valves in line with P&ID numbers and modify the line if necessary
- Recording emissions in the database, correlate values to plant leakage and report findings
- Repairing, replacing, overhauling
- Re-screening and auditing then measuring the emissions readings
OGI (Optimal Gas Imaging) cameras help us to survey and identify common industry leak sources quickly and from a safe distance. These cameras are very sensitive and enable us to visualise gas emissions from leaking components within an installation. OGI cameras are compliant with BS EN 15446 and US EPA Method 21.
