Emissions control is a hot topic throughout many industries. Various government and safety regulations only further the importance of emissions awareness, especially among executive professionals who may not spend significant time at their facilities. Read on to learn more about leak detection, repair technology, and everything energy executives should know about the benefits of this equipment. ...
Just like I did when hiring the cheapest electrician I could find, we often try to save a buck when we purchase LDAR software, equipment and services. The choices are limited for good LDAR software. A little less so for good equipment. But when it comes to field services the choices get varied and more complicated. ...
For example, the percent leaker calculations can be skewed if non-LDAR subject equipment (e.g., equipment in vacuum service) is included in the program. ...
