The
handbook
provides
guidance
on
control
strategies
to
comply
with
regulations
that
apply
to
chemical
process
facilities.
Three
main
types
of
standards
are
applied
to
fugitive
emissions
from
chemical
process
facilities:
performance
standards,
equipment
practices,
and
work
practices.
Each
of
these
has
its
place
and
may
need
to
be
applied
in
parallel
to
achieve
the
necessary
reductions
of
fugitive
emissions.
This
handbook
outlines
the
requirements
and
procedures
to
apply
the
strategies.

| Abstract: |
A
cost effective fugitive emission reduction program should focus on the
location and repair of the very high leakers in place of monitoring all
of the piping components…The new Gas Imaging technology allows greater
efficiencies in monitoring large numbers of process piping components...
was recently tested on several process units at a refinery and was able
to easily identify components that were very high leakers…In order to
allow sufficient flexibility and incentive for implementation of Smart
LDAR, plants need to be allowed to adopt combinations of leak
definition, monitoring frequency and included components that result in
the lowest cost while maintaining equivalent or lower emissions compared
to the present program requirements. |

| Abstract: |
Louisiana
DEQ implements and enforces a number of fugitive emission control
programs in accordance with various federal and state statutes and
regulations. LDEQ has developed a consolidation plan that allows
facilities to streamline there equipment leak programs into a single
plan. The program has been in effect since May 1996 with several major
sources from across the state participating. Response from industry and
inspectors alike have been positive. |
