Draft Test Plan - Blowdown and Unit Isolation Through Valve Leak Detection

Draft Test Plan - Blowdown and Unit Isolation Through Valve Leak Detection

The primary pipeline GHGs sources are facility methane fugitive and vented emissions. combustion CO2 from reciprocating engines and turbines, and reciprocating engine unburned methane from combustion. PRCI evaluation of federally reported data identified compressor unit isolation valve leakage as the largest contributor to fugitive methane emissions. This project targets that source by developing methods that enable more rapid detection of leaking isolation and blowdown valves. The project also has a practical side benefit of improved workplace safety as evacuated workspaces can be more assured of a gas-free environment. This project will implement findings of an initial scoping study of isolation valve leakage, as directed and prioritized by the project team (CPS-17-04).
