Fugitive Emissions

Keep Fugitive Emissions in Check

In an era of widespread decarbonization efforts and tightening regulations, managing fugitive emissions has become a major focus. Beyond its environmental impact, uncontrolled emissions can severely dent profitability. At Swagelok, we understand the urgency and offer tailored solutions to address your concerns. Some best practices for lowering fugitive emissions include:

1. Upgrade to Low-E Certified Valves: Instead of continuously repairing aging valves, consider replacing them with Low-E certified options. Not only can this be cost-effective, but it also mitigates further emissions risks.
2. Enforce Stricter Leak Limits: Lower allowable leak limits for valves, connections, and pumps to minimize fugitive emissions and maintain compliance with regulations.
3. Implement Leak Detection and Repair Programs: Timely identification and repair of leaks are crucial. Our comprehensive programs ensure leaks are detected and resolved promptly, preventing further environmental impact.
4. Standardize to One Manufacturer: Products designed by one manufacturer tend to perform at higher levels, eliminating further VOC risks.
