THE HI-FLOW SAMPLER QUANTIFIES FUGITIVE EMISSION LOSSES

USE DATA COLLECTED WITH THE HI-FLOW SAMPLER TO DESIGN A MORE EFFECTIVE LDAR PROGRAM

Fugitive emissions are gases released from pressurized equipment due to leaks and other unintended causes.

They mostly result from industrial/petrochemical, oil & gas activities and contribute to air pollution and so, climate change.

For petrochemical companies, fugitive emissions = safety concerns, lost product and economic loss.

But for the wider community fugitive emissions also present other more concerning risks and hazards …

In situations where large amounts of flammable liquids and gases are contained under pressure, leaking compounds increase the risk of fire and explosion.  Fugitive Emissions can also pose long term health risks to workers and local communities.

Methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions can leak from pressurized process equipment through valves, pipe connections, mechanical seals, or related equipment. They can also occur at evaporative sources such as waste water treatment ponds and storage tanks.

To minimize and control leaks operators carry out regular leak detection and repair activities. Until recently this involved relying on gas detectors to identify the presence of leaks and then determine appropriate actions. ‘Bagging techniques’ might then have been used to deduce volumetric measurements of lost product.

However new technologies are now revolutionizing the detection, measurement and reporting of fugitive emissions leading to improved environmental and safety outcomes.

THE HI-FLOW SAMPLER FOR FUGITIVE EMISSIONS IS AVAILABLE FOR HIRE OR PURCHASE …

The use of a Hi-Flow Sampler allows operators to calculate the actual volumes of lost product.  The Hi-Flow Sampler is the only commercially available product of its kind and is used world over for fugitive emissions reporting.

The Hi-Flow Sampler replaces traditional bagging techniques and is up to 10 times more efficient for quantifying fugitive emissions.

THE HEATH DP4 IS A FLAME IONISATION A.K.A. (IONIZATION) A.K.A. (FID) GAS DETECTOR

The Heath DP4 is a portable flame ionisation (ionization) gas leak detector for walking and mobile leak surveys.

Whilst (FID) Flame Ionisation technology is now considered to be ‘old’ technology this unit is still widely in use as it is recognised to deliver very reliable results when SEARCHING for hydrocarbons.  This unit is not suited to CLASSIFYING leaks only SEARCHING.

The Heath DP4 has a fast response time due to a strong internal pump as should be used to find HYDROCARBON leaks.   Many other gas leak detectors will be selective to certain hydrocarbons e.g. selective to Methane only.

ABOUT FLAME IONISATION GAS DETECTORS …

When operating a controlled amount of fuel is mixed with a sample and burned. When hydrocarbons are present in the sample, ionization occurs.

This ionisation is electrically measured and converted to a visual indication of hydrocarbon level in PPM via the instrument’s meter. The Heath DP4 reads from 0-10, 0-50, 0-100, 0-1,000, and 0-10,000 parts per million (PPM).

HEATH DPIR – Infrared Gas Detector

The DP-IR infrared gas detector, manufactured by HEATH USA, greatly improves productivity, cost and safety of walking and mobile leak surveys.

This infrared gas detector uses highly advanced optical technology capable of detecting methane gas utilising the Infrared Controlled Interference Polarization Spectrometry method.

NO BUMP TESTING, SELF CALIBRATING …

The DPIR features a self-test and calibration function which verifies operation and adjusts calibration for maximum sensitivity.  A test gas cell is integrated within the instrument.  While in operation, the DPIR continuously monitors several internal parameters to ensure that it is functioning properly.  Should any of these parameters go outside of operational limits, a constant audible alarm will sound and an ERROR icon is displayed.

Cal’ Gas, Cylinders, Regulators, Risk Assessments and bumping procedures are not required.

Available to rent or buy from Heath Pipeline Services this  instrument is intended to replace traditional Flame Ionisation methods with next-generation technology utilising an infrared light beam.  The DP-IR has been designed to be highly selective to detecting methane gas and WILL NOT FALSE ALARM on other hydrocarbon gases which may be encountered during a normal natural gas leak survey.

REMOTE METHANE LEAK DETECTION – HEATH RMLD-IS

The intrinsically safe Remote Methane Leak Detector (RMLD-IS) manufactured by Heath USA, is an eye-safe laser-based natural gas detector (methane) that can quickly and efficiently detect leaks up to 30 metres away.

Our consultants use this infrared gas detector for residential surveying or to remotely detect methane emissions in areas that are difficult to access, such as; busy roadways, locked yards, underground piping, compressor stations, offshore platforms, plant/industrial inspections, gas processing plants, gas gathering, drilling sites, landfills, difficult terrains and more.

When the infrared laser beam is transmitted from the launch port, some of the laser light is reflected back and converted to an electrical signal that carries the information needed to deduce the methane concentration. The RMLD-IS has proven to be a highly effective gas leak survey instrument, compared to flame ionization and similar equipment, but with the added advantage of remote detection.  By design the RMLD-IS is capable of achieving significant productivity gains and can drastically reduce operations and maintenance costs.  Superior operator safety is achieved through the use of this gas leak instrument.

This same technology has been extensively tested and further developed by Heath USA for incorporation into drones technology.

And because Heath RMLD-IS is an infrared device and does not require bump testing or calibration, hence it delivers significant time savings and capital benefits to the astute customer.

The Heath RMLD-IS is available to purchase or hire through Heath Pipeline Services.  Training services are also available.
