Accidental, undesirable, costly, consequential, and unintended are all adjectives that can be used to describe spilled beer, but these same descriptors apply to fugitive emis­sions, and for that reason, fugitive emissions are very much the industrial valve equivalent of spilling a beer.

Valves and connectors account for over 90% of emissions from leaking equipment, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Fugitive emission reduction has become a high priority goal for virtually every process plant and facility worldwide.

Climate-related disclosures are becoming an essential, and expected, element of corporate disclosures; several signs point to this becoming mandatory.

Fugitive emissions are a huge problem resulting in environmental fines, lost product, and even loss of life in extreme cases. What is even more surprising than the impact of fugitive emissions, is that the majority of these leaks can be elimi­nated by fixing one problem.

TESCOM Anderson Greenwood Instrumentation offers a design portfolio of technical solutions to satisfy ISO15848-1 on fugitive emissions requirements as a part of our Primary Isolation Valve range. These solutions are ideal for Process to Instrument Isolation applications in the Oil and Gas, Process, Refining, Chemical, and Energy markets.

Large engineering projects are common in many industries, especially in oil & gas. Production platforms, refineries, and petrochemical plants often need thousands of industrial valves. Procuring valves with fugitive emissions certification in the required quantities may become a challenge if planning is not carefully executed.

The best valve design processes are standardized and follow a characteristic method that assures each valve meets industry standards, allows for easy traceability, and will meet even the most stringent demands of the application.
