Appendix K: Restricting the Benefits of Optical Gas Imaging

In November 2021, the EPA proposed a new rule under the Clean Air Act, designed for the significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. The rule consists of three groups of actions: OOOOb, OOOOc, and Appendix K. The agency encouraged comments on these groups, intending to use industry feedback to develop a final, all-encompassing rule that would ultimately achieve a goal of “the greatest possible reductions in methane and volatile organic compound emissions while rema

Centrifugal Compressor Fugitive Emissions: Avoiding Gas Leakage to Improve Profitability

Although minimal fugitive emissions are produced by centrifugal compressors, compared to reciprocating compressors, normal seal leakage, venting a compressor loop, and seal failures do result in emissions in the atmosphere. While comparatively, the leakage may be minimal, when the cumulative gas emitted over time is assessed, it adds up to a substantial volume. For instance, the dry gas seal leakage on a typical natural gas pipeline compressor emits 75,7 t/year methane, which is equivalent to 6,

Method 21: How Something So Easy Can Be So Complicated

Since the adoption of the 1970 Clean Air Act (CAA) within the United States of America (USA), many rules have been developed to reduce fugitive emissions across all industries. Using these rules the USA took the first step towards the development of work practices. In addition to the use of the rules which drove a reduction of fugitive emissions, test methods were created on how to perform the required tasks within these rules.

Combatting Fugitive Methane Emissions for Climate Progress

As the world continues in its efforts to curb climate change, it has become more critical than ever that we alter business practices to eradicate greenhouse gas emissions. Typically called “volatile organic compounds” or VOC’s, common greenhouse gases like methane (CH4) and other compounds have become an increasingly real threat when they are licensed to operate.
