Fugitive emissions are leaks or unwanted releases of gases and vapors into the atmosphere. Fugitive Emissions contribute at least 5% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. In industrial plants, there are various equipment that release gases and vapor unintentionally. Control valves, relief valves, flanges, and tanks are those equipment. Among these sources, control valves are likely the leading source of fugitive emissions in an industrial plant. The best method to prevent fugitive emissions is to ensure that the valves are designed to reduce or eliminate fugitive emissions.
Emerson solutions to mitigate fugitive emissions
Fisher ENVIRO-SEAL packing ensures that fugitive emissions in a control valve are under the allowable limits. The Fisher ENVIRO-SEAL packing can be installed in a sliding stem or a rotary shaft valve to reduce emissions.
What's your opportunity?
- Reduce fugitive emissions in your plant.
- Attain your emission milestones and contribute to a sustainable production.
- Peace of mind that the control valves are equipped to reduce or eliminate fugitive emissions.
