Prevention of Actuator 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 the factors in actuator fugitive emissions. Packed with a selection process, the benefits of switching to an electric system, and the technology around open and closed loop hydraulic systems helps today's engineer understand all their options. Rounding with a detailed explanation around High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS), this book gives provides the knowledge necessary to lower emissions on today’s equipment.
- Gives readers all they need to understand all the sources and key factors contributing to fugitive emissions and leakage from oil and gas actuators
- Teaches how to select environmentally friendly actuators, particularly all electric systems
- Introduces the High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) and the ways it reduces flaring
