Comprehensive LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) Services
The Importance of LDAR Services
At Assentech, we are dedicated to helping industries minimise emissions and achieve regulatory compliance through our comprehensive Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) audits and services .
Our expertise ensures that your operations are environmentally friendly, efficient, and compliant with all relevant standards. Demonstrate to your Workforce, Stakeholders and the Regulators that you are responsible.
Assentech’s LDAR services help industries minimise emissions, achieve regulatory compliance, and protect the environment through advanced detection and repair technologies.
LDAR is a requirement under the Industrial Emissions Directive and forms a critical environmental function designed help operators reduce emissions and increase site efficiency and safety. LDAR planning is essential for reducing harmful emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), thereby protecting public health and the environment.
Assentech provides on-site LDAR services by working with our OGI camera specialist who use optical gas imaging and quantification technology to identify and measure fugitive emissions. This activity enables compliance with ATEX and DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002) and has technology that can measure 400 different gases.
Assentech provides the repair element of LDAR, using our state-of-the-art and award-winning Vent-Less test bench. Our trained technicians will visit your facility to test, calibrate, service and repair breather valves to issue you with an irrefutable Leak Test Certificate and API2000 Test Report to demonstrate your compliance. This certification will provide vital defence against scrutiny.
Assentech can also arrange for your leaking breather valves to be sent to Assentech for repair and returned back to your facility. The award winning Vent-Less test bench technology is revolutionising testing and identifies individual breather valve performance, functionality and leak rates enable real data for evidencing emission reduction.
