In 1987, the United Nations defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In 2005, the acronym ESG - Environmental, Social Responsibility, and Governance – was coined and in many conversations is interpreted to mean ‘environmental sustainability.’

Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology has proven to be a very useful technology for detecting and visualizing small gas leaks in petroleum refineries and other oil & gas facilities.

Fugitive Emissions Summit Americas is returning in 2022 – to a new venue! The must attend event will be held at San Jacinto College’s LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy, & Technology (CPET) in Pasadena, TX, on September 28th-29th, 2022.

Since its inception, Bonney Forge has been devoted to surpassing expectations and exceeding industry standards. Bonney Forge is lowering emissions around the globe by being the world leader in low emission valve production. Privately owned, the company prides itself on its ability to provide the best price, quality, and service to the global marketplace.

The old days of mission and vision statements are over. To be competitive in today’s marketplace, a company must be able to clearly define its Environmental Social Governance (ESG) values and practices in place. In fact, many companies require ESG policies to even consider partnering to do business.

In 1987, the United Nations defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In 2005 the acronym ESG - Environmental, Social Responsibility, and Governance – was coined and in many conversations is interpreted to mean ‘environmental sustainability.’ However, ‘environmental’ is just one of the 3 pillars of ESG.

To begin, the acronym represented by ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Its simplest definition is that it comprises an organization of initiatives, including companies who are looking to be able to identify risks through more transparency.

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

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,

I look forward to serving you as Chairman for the 2022 Fugitive Emissions Summit Americas. I am excited to see the wealth of knowledge coming together this year and the latest technologies to be shared.
