Tech Tuesday | API 622: Elevating Fugitive Emissions Standards 📈   At Burgmann Packings, we’re dedicated to leading the industry in environmental protection. Our commitment to the API 622 standards, set by the American Petroleum Institute, ensures our valve packings are rigorously tested with methane gas to effectively minimize fugitive emissions in petroleum applications.   Key Insights of API 622: 💡Leakage Rate: Our products are put through stringent tests, ensuring emissions do not surpass 100 ppmv of methane. This benchmark confirms our packings’ superior low emission capabilities. 💡Temperature Cycle: Enduring five temperature cycles ranging from room temperature to 500°F (260°C) over five days, our seals demonstrate exceptional resilience, maintaining their integrity under varying environmental conditions. 💡Mechanical Cycle: Simulating real-world usage, our packings undergo 1510 mechanical cycles, proving their durability and long-term reliability. By strictly adhering to API 622, Burgmann Packings not only upholds safety and environmental stewardship but also delivers products that set a new standard for reliability and performance in the industry. Discover the difference with our BPG 7888 – where innovation meets sustainability.   #API622 #ValveIntegrity #FugitiveEmissions #BurgmannPackings #TechTuesday #EnvironmentalResponsibility #Innovation #Sustainability #BPG7888

LPG and water removal can be hazardous

The much awaited latest version of Marine fuel specs : ISO 8217 : 2024 has been published . ISO 8217 :2017 version has been withdrawn The document specifies seven categories of distillate fuels, one of which is for diesel engines used for emergency purposes. It also specifies four categories of residual fuels for sulfur content at or below 0,50 % by mass, five categories of residual fuels containing FAME and five categories of residual fuels for sulfur content exceeding 0,50 % by mass. https://lnkd.in/dcShFvEt

Before diving into the petrochemical industry, I never gave much thought to the complexities of automotive fuel. It turns out there’s a lot more to "fill ’er up" than meets the eye. 🚗💧 Testing fuel is crucial—not just for avoiding engine failures and minimizing costly repairs, but also for ensuring high fuel quality. Did you know that in 2023, the U.S. averaged about 376 million gallons of finished motor gasoline consumption per day? That’s a massive volume where quality control is key! At Analytichem, we’re proud to support the industrial market, especially in the critical fuel testing process. With over 40 years of experience and backed by trusted partnerships in the petroleum industry, CONOSTAN® stands out as the gold standard in oil testing. Fuel quality isn’t just about performance; it’s about reliability and efficiency across millions of vehicles. Cheers to the unseen heroes in the industry who keep everything running smoothly! ⛽🔬 #FuelQuality #PetrochemicalIndustry #Automotive #FuelTesting #CONOSTAN #Analytichem

During #wellhead startup, sudden pressure drops and temperature changes can lead to the formation of #hydrates, crystalline ice-like solids that result from the combination of water and natural gas. Injecting #methanol helps to lower the freezing point of water, reducing the likelihood of blockages and providing a smooth and stable flow of hydrocarbons. Furthermore, methanol injection speeds up the startup process and #protects equipment from failure or blowout, resulting in significant time and #costsavings. Our #JMS range of metering pumps fully meets the demands for #efficiency and #reliability required for this operation, ensuring that the correct amount of methanol is injected to prevent damage. As methanol is a toxic substance, JMS pumps enable proper #chemicalhandling to minimize environmental impact while ensuring an optimum #productionrate. Whether operators are looking to #improve wellhead efficiency as well as protect equipment and the environment, find the #applicationspecific solutions that will exceed your expectations by emailing sales@amboretto.com #amborettoamericas #MeteringPump #DosingPump #ChemicalInjection #API675 #API674 #DoubleDiaphragm #PackedPlunger #HydraulicInnovation #PrecisionMetering #IndustrialSolutions #MethanolInjection #Efficiency #Reliability

The water removal and drainage process is potentially the most hazardous process in LPG operations. There have been many accidents in the past regarding this issue. API has made some recommendations on this issue, the two-valve system should be in the drain lines. However, accident examples have shown that in addition to just two valves, there must also be a spring-loaded dead man valve. Also, there should be one valve that can remotely close the drainage systems under the tanks in case of emergency. #oilandgas #LPG #safetyfirst #ProcessSafety #PSM #APIStandards #SafetyEngineering #PetroleumSafety #HazardPrevention
