Fugitive loss assessment and measurement

Accurate results can also be obtained when specific correlations are applied which have been developed from a set of comparable plants. 

Further information can be found in the LVOC BREF Section 5.3.1.3. 

By the described means, the maintenance and repair programme of the installation is optimised and leads to a reduction of VOC emissions. 

The implementation is caused by enviromnental as well as economic reasons to reduce emissions of monomers and/or solvents. 

Example European plants for specific correlations are the plants of ECVM member companies having adopted specific correlations for the quantification of VCM and EDC fugitive emissions and the emissions from water sealed gasholders. An example plant for both is the SolVin plant in Jemeppe, BE.

BAT is to carry out a fugitive loss assessment and measurement to classify components in terms of type, service and process conditions to identify those elements with the highest potential for fugitive loss (see Section 12.1.3).
