Fugitive Emissions

ISO 15848 and API 641 set highest standards in order to protect people and the environment against volatile emissions and to save valuable resources.

What are fugitive emissions?

  • Fugitive emissions are uncontrolled emissions of media from process plants
  • This applies in particular to volatile organic compounds (VOC), such as benzene, methane or ethanol as well as other harmful media
  • At valves these emissions mainly occur at the stem auf
