Case Study 2 : Mitigating 66kt CO2e , providing a USD 5 million benefit
A customer contacted the company regarding a corroded actuator fitted on a control valve on their offshore production platform . The customer recognized the potential risks posed by undiagnosed through-valve leakages and sought solutions to identify and mitigate these risks . An in-situ Acoustic Emissions ( AE ) survey using MIDAS ® Meter equipment was proactively recommended . The survey findings revealed significant process leakage that required immediate action . By promptly identifying , quantifying , and mitigating the valve leakage ,
LDAR : MIDAS Meter ® ( AE ) Leak Survey the environmental impacts were reduced , and substantial business benefits were generated for the client . The reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions , amounting to 66 kt per annum ( equivalent to the emissions from approximately 14,348 cars in one year ), translated into a significant USD 5 million in annual savings for the customer . This case study emphasizes the strategic value of targeted , value-based maintenance driven by advanced leak detection technologies , which safeguard environmental integrity and maximize financial returns for process owners . This success story highlights the importance of collaborative work with customers and a clear focus on jointly implementing maintenance strategies that optimize asset performance and minimize environmental impacts . The combined working experiences , expertise , and
innovative solutions help customers achieve their sustainability goals while enhancing operational efficiency and profitability .
Case Study 3 : Preventing 3.5 tonnes of methane gas emissions
In a third scenario , a critical issue was identified at a client facility where a ball valve had a significant fugitive emission ( a methane gas leak to atmosphere ). With safety and environmental concerns being paramount , an innovative in-situ repair solution was swiftly implemented . By establishing a temporary isolation barrier using a specialist sealant , 3.5 tonnes of methane gas emissions were prevented in the two-month period prior to planned maintenance . The temporary repair solution ensured personnel safety and maintained uninterrupted production , averting potential financial losses and significant regulatory compliance impacts ( penalties ) for the customer . During the next available planned outage window , a more permanent leak-mitigating maintenance solution was applied . This example highlights the commitment to delivering effective solutions tailored to meet both short- and long-term client needs . Proactive work in addressing in-service valve leaks demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and operational excellence . By leveraging advanced technologies , proactive maintenance strategies , and collaborative partnerships , clients are enabled to achieve their operational goals and objectives while continuously driving sustainable growth .
