Aspects regarding the reduction of fugitive methane emissions from the valves

Methane is the second strongest greenhouse gas contributing to climate change after carbon dioxide. Reducing methane emissions contributes both slowing and improving air quality. In order reduce from energy sector, European Commission has proposed obligation improve leak detection disposal in fossil fuel infrastructure, as well any other infrastructure that produces, transports or uses fuels. Compressors compressor stations are such a component of system. The paper presents testing procedures valves transmission pipes for evaluation external leaks corrective actions minimize them.
