LDAR

Pipelines often cross inaccessible terrain to supply industrial and domestic gas. Operators of these networks must ensure the safety, integrity and reliability of their pipelines but accurate detection of odorless and invisible gas leaks can be challenging and expensive.

Alliance Technical Group (“Alliance”) has completed its 9th add-on acquisition with the purchase of EMSI, one of the nation’s largest Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) providers.

The Fugitive Emissions Journal is published quarterly (March, June, September & December) with a focus important and recurring topics within the fugitive emissions community including: Leak Detection & Repair (LDAR), Benzene Waste Operations (BWON), Flaring, Venting, Emission Control Technologies, Instrumentation and Air Quality & Permitting.

Teams from Princeton University and the U.S. Naval Research Lab have developed a new sensor that detects methane in low concentrations.

In a world that patiently awaits a full return to life as we previously knew it, a potential regulatory blockbuster that could forever change the LDAR industry is getting ready to come out.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released the 2021 Methane Tracker and Regulatory Roadmap. It provides country-by-country data on emissions & guidance on how to reduce them, which represents a critical step for clean energy transitions.The IEA Methane Tracker provides emissions profiles and information about abatement options while the Policies Database provides examples of methane regulations and policies.

Gas detection and analysis instrumentation manufacturer QED Environmental Systems Ltd has launched the next generation of the Huberg METREX gas detection instrument.The new METREX is ATEX rated and designed for pre-localization, localization and classification of leaks in natural gas distribution networks.
