New technology is included on monitoring, with special attention given to valve seals which are typically the biggest emitting factor on the valve. Proper testing requirements to mitigate future leaks are also covered. Rounding out with international standards, laws and specifications to apply to projects around the world, this book gives today’s engineers updated knowledge on how to lower emissions on today’s equipment.
- Helps readers understand the sources and key factors that contribute to fugitive emissions and leakage from oil and gas valves
- Teaches ways to select proper seals and perform valve testing to mitigate future emissions
- Includes international standards, laws and specifications to help readers stay compliant and environmentally responsible
Mechanical engineers; valve engineers; piping engineers; actuator engineers; instrument engineers; petroleum and energy engineering researchers
