FUGITIVE EMISSION

Refineries and factories in Australia must observe fugitive emission requirements. Despite this, a major percentage of Oil & Gas valve specifications in Australia do not mention fugitive emission! Considering methane is 100 times worse than CO2 for global warming it’s hard to understand. Even worse, low cost Chinese origin valves that flooded into Australia during the boom leak from the stem like a sieve!

Australian Pipeline Valve has a full range of Fugitive Emission certifications. For APV, JC, Sferova, Starline Fugitive Emission certifications please check out our website or the Australian Pipeline Valve website.
APV – Gate, Globe, Butterfly, Floating Ball & Trunnion Ball are certified. Starline, JC, Sferova are also Fugitive Emission certified for Trunnion & Floating Ball Valves. (In the case of Starline the certification is in accordance with TAT/TAMAP for Floating & Trunnion).
