Prevention of Valve Fugitive Emissions in the Oil and Gas Industry


Book Description

Prevention of Valve Fugitive Emissions in the Oil and Gas Industry delivers a critical reference for oil and gas engineers and managers to get up-to-speed on all factors surrounding valve fugitive emissions. New technology is included on monitoring, with special attention given to valve seals which are typically the biggest emitting factor on the valve. Proper testing requirements to mitigate future leaks are also covered. Rounding out with international standards, laws and specifications to apply to projects around the world, this book gives today's engineers updated knowledge on how to lower emissions on today's equipment. Helps readers understand the sources and key factors that contribute to fugitive emissions and leakage from oil and gas valves Teaches ways to select proper seals and perform valve testing to mitigate future emissions Includes international standards, laws and specifications to help readers stay compliant and environmentally responsible




The Greenhouse Gas Protocol


Book Description

The GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard helps companies and other organizations to identify, calculate, and report GHG emissions. It is designed to set the standard for accurate, complete, consistent, relevant and transparent accounting and reporting of GHG emissions.

























Fugitive Emissions and Seals


Book Description

Keeping the air clean is one of the most important aims in environmental protection. The fugitive emissions especially volatile organic compounds (VOC's) and the ozone-precursors nitrogen oxides (NOX) have a great impact on the quality of the atmospheric air. Fugitive emissions from leaking valves, pumps and flanges are one of the main problems in industrial applications. Elimination or reduction of fugitive emissions could potentially save the industry millions of dollars and prolong scarce resources. This book discusses fugitive emissions, their sources and their impact on the environment.
