Chemical and refinery industry insights

Minimise the costs of fugitive emissions with Low-E valve 

Fugitive emissions are a growing concern in chemical and refining facilities, making effective management essential for protecting profitability and meeting regulatory requirements.  

How to reduce your maintenance spend by improving gas distribution

Poorly designed gas distribution systems often lead to hidden leaks, difficult maintenance access, and frequent component replacement, driving up downtime and labour costs. By improving system design with clearer layouts, better labelling, modular components, and high-quality regulators and fittings, facilities can significantly reduce maintenance time, eliminate unnecessary disassembly, and prevent costly gas losses.

Reducing costly fluid system leaks and emissions

Fluid leaks, often hidden at fittings, valves, and connections can drive up costs, energy loss, downtime, and emissions. By improving installation practices, using high-quality leak-tight components, and adopting proactive leak detection and system design improvements, facilities can reduce fugitive emissions, improve safety, and protect operational efficiency and profitability. 

Best practices for sampling gases and volatile liquids

Accurate sampling requires maintaining true process conditions by preventing phase changes, ensuring samples are taken from representative pipeline locations, and minimising time to analysis. Using properly purged, pressurised sample cylinders, correct filling techniques, and safe, standardised procedures helps ensure sample integrity, reduce contamination, and improve safety and reliability of results. 

How to improve grab sampling accuracy & safety 

Grab sampling issue, such as poor sample location, contamination, phase changes, and inconsistent handling—can lead to unreliable results and safety risks. Improving system design with proper sampling points (often using probes), minimising dead volumes, ensuring correct flushing/purging, and using suitable pressure-rated containers helps maintain sample integrity. Consistent procedures, safer handling methods, and better panel layout also reduce errors and improve accuracy, safety, and overall system performance.
