We have developed our emission monitoring service from conventional ‘sniff and tag’ techniques. Our smart LDAR emission monitoring methodology involves the identification of gas and vapour leaks from valves, piping and other process equipment by means of infrared scanning techniques.

Leaking equipment is tagged, leak concentrations are quantified with conventional gas monitors and all data is recorded. Data capture also includes video clips of leaks, for record keeping purposes. Our LDAR solution reduces survey time by up to 75%, as compared to conventional emission monitoring techniques.

Web-enabled emission monitoring software grants customers easy access to their data via the internet. Our software program, VALVEMAN, has been purpose-developed to cope with our customers’ emission data storage and processing requirements, whether it be at a plant, line or specific equipment level.

Our solution includes:

• A study to determine the impact of air pollution on human health in the area
• The phasing out of coal and heavy furnace oil by industry in the area
• A revision of ambient sulphur dioxide, as per World Health Organisation standards
• Improvement of ambient and source monitoring of all polluting gases, including oxides of nitrogen and volatile compounds
• Strengthening of air quality as per guidelines and legislation
• Co-ordination between government departments at national, provincial and local level
• The reduction of pollution by vehicles
