FSA SHORT COURSESAT THE EMISSIONS SUMMIT

VALVE INSTALLATION: Best Practices for Fugitive Emissions Service 1

This training will focus on identifying best practices in regards to valve packing installation as outlined by the Fluid Sealing Association. The best valve packing installed incorrectly will not ensure compliance to LDAR requirements. It is imperative that a plant have a serious, focused, approach to this important subject. One way to improve this is by creating a continu-ous improvement process regarding valve packing that is fact based and focusing on Identifying and classifying root causes of packing performance.

Duration: 2 Hours

Accurate measuring of valve dimensions

Observing valve issues that could hinder sealing
