Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Study

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) is a program implemented to comply with environmental regulations for reducing the fugitive emissions of targeted chemicals into the environment. Several standards such as Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) require the monitoring and reporting of these fugitive emissions from process equipment.

Leaking equipment, such as valves, pumps, and connectors, are a large source of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile hazardous air pollutants (VHAPs). The Leak Detection and Repair Program is intended for use by regulated entities, such as petroleum refineries, Pharmaceutical companies and chemical manufacturing facilities, as well as compliance inspectors. It focuses on Method 21 requirements and describes the practices that can be used to increase the effectiveness of an LDAR program.

In addition to control fugitive emissions, LDAR Program also helps the industries to reduce unwanted losses of chemicals and thereby conserving energy & increasing their profitability.

The Following methodology to be adopted during LDAR study:

Identify the Chemical streams that must be monitored.
Types of components (pumps, valves, connectors, etc.) to be monitored
Frequency of monitoring.
Actions to be taken if a leak is detected.
Length of time in which an attempt to repair the leak must be performed.
Actions that must be taken if a leak cannot be repaired within guidelines .
Record-keeping and reporting requirements.
