LDAR Services
Leak Detection & Repair Solutions That Meet Today’s Standards and Tomorrow’s Regulations Appendix K & NSPS OOOOb/c
Leading-Edge QOGI Technology and Expert LDAR Services for Comprehensive Emissions Compliance
Encino QOGI technology has a detection sensitivity as low as 0.4 grams/hour (following EPA’s guidance on detection assessment), exceeding EPA’s existing requirements under 40 CFR Part 60 OOOOa, and as proposed in OOOOb and OOOOc.
Encino’s LDAR multi-service operators (MSO) crews have expertise covering all compliance and voluntary requirements in support of new regulations.
We can customize our survey protocols to go beyond compliance requirements to include multiple points of quantification to meet your specific emissions monitoring and quantification objectives.
Rod Packing Compliance Services
Encino’s LDAR capabilities include full-service rod packing compliance to help you meet EPA OOOOb requirements for reciprocating compressors.
Rod packing assemblies are a common source of methane emissions and a major focus of federal regulation. Our LDAR team uses certified high-volume samplers and SENSIA Mileva 33 OGI cameras to detect and quantify leaks, they track compliance deadlines, and handle required resurveys.
With our support, you can:
-
Pinpoint and quantify leaks from reciprocating compressor rod packing
-
Avoid unnecessary component replacements
-
Meet OOOOb deadlines for repair and verification
-
Stay compliant with 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOb regulations
Our team manages the full compliance cycle so your crews can stay focused on operations, not paperwork.
