Our LDAR Software Can Help You!
Data Management - Simple and centralized storage of leak detection and repair data, including:
Equipment data
Leak monitoring frequencies, dates and historical results
Repair attempt dates and methods
Repair delay reasoning
Components that were unsafe to monitor
Re-inspection information
Leak monitoring videos and images
Testing Equipment Information - Track LDAR testing equipment (optical gas cameras, PID's, TVA's, etc.) and associated repairs and calibration records.
Personnel Certifications - Manage certification and training records for testing personnel in one, centralized location and receive automated reminders prior to certification and training expirations.
Repair Tracking and Notifications - Ensure leaks are detected and appropriate corrective action is taken with automated notifications sent to equipment/facility owners.
Regulatory Reporting - Quickly generate regulatory reports and detailed summaries of LDAR data.
Mapping - Generate maps showing facilities and equipment that are due for leak monitoring or that have open or overdue repairs.
Offline Access - Data may be collected while in remote locations and then synced to the cloud when you return from the field.
Improve Compliance with Leak Detection and Repair Software
Save Time - Reduce paperwork and data entry tasks by quickly entering LDAR data in the field on a phone or tablet. Then, quickly access leak and repair data and generate regulatory reports when back in the office.
Reduce Risk - Tracking of LDAR repair deadlines ensures testing is performed on time and leaks are repaired before they become safety risks or regulatory violations.
Reduce Emissions - Rapid communication of leaks and tracking of repair and re-inspection deadlines ensures leaks are fixed in a timely manner and emissions are limited to the greatest extent possible.
Improve Compliance - With your LDAR data in one centralized location it is simple to demonstrate compliance with regulations such as NSPS OOOOa and Colorado Regulation 7.
Breeze Through Audits - Generate comprehensive reports that clearly demonstrate historical leak inspection and repair program data.
Rapid Deployment - Create your site's cloud-based LDAR program and upload existing data within a matter of hours instead of weeks or months.
Cost Effective - Our LDAR Program Management Software is less expensive than you might think; contact us to learn more!
Leak Detection and Repair FAQs
Will Your Mobile App Work On Intrinsically Safe Devices?
Yes, the Ecesis Mobile App will work on any IOS, Android, or Windows Mobile Device. An example of a device that is suitable for use in electrically classified areas is the ecom Tab-Ex® 02. This device is rated for use in Zone 1 / Division 1 areas (per its manufacturer).
Will Your Mobile App Work In Areas Without Cellular Service?
Yes, the Ecesis Mobile App is fully functional regardless of whether an internet connection is available. You are able to do your work in remote areas and sync the device to web-based servers when you return to the office.
What Data Security Protocols Do You Have In Place?
All data is transmitted through SSL encryption and access is limited through user authentication. Data stored on our cloud-based servers is backed up daily.
What Does LDAR Stand for?
Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR). An LDAR program provides a systematic approach for surveying, identifying, and repairing fugitive emission leaks at oil and gas operations, chemical facilities, and refineries.
Why are LDAR Programs Needed?
LDAR programs have many benefits including:
Safety - Early identification of leaks reduces the potential for explosions and exposures to toxic gases, such as hydrogen sulfide and benzene.
Environmental Protection - Detecting and repairing leaks prevent the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.
Compliance - Many facilities are required to maintain LDAR programs, such as oil and gas production facilities under NSPS OOOOa and Colorado Regulation 7.
Public Relations - Reducing leaks reduces odors and improves public perception.
Improved Efficiency - Minimizing leaks ensures valuable products are retained for future sale or manufacturing needs.
What Regulations Require LDAR Programs?
There are at least 25 federal standards that require implementation of LDAR programs. These include, but are not limited to:
There are several ways in which a leak can be detected:
Infrared Camera - Optical Gas Imaging cameras may be used to see otherwise invisible gas leaks.
PID - EPA Method 21 allows the use of a Photo Ionization Detector to determine the parts per million of gases being emitted from a leaking component.
AVO Inspection - Audio, Visual, Olfactory (AVO) inspections may also be used to identify leaks.
What is Considered a Leak?
It depends on the leak detection method used. Generally:
Infrared Camera - Any visible emissions would be considered a leak.
PID - Any leak that results in a reading greater than 500 ppm would be considered a leak.
AVO Inspection - Any indication of a leak (such as noise, smell/odor, or visible shimmering) would be considered a leak.
How Are Leak Repairs Tracked?
If a leak is identified an work order or task is created within our preventive maintenance or task tracking software. This work order is then tracked to completion by Ecesis.
Who Can Perform LDAR Testing?
You can rent (or buy) equipment to do your own LDAR testing or you can subcontract it to specialized companies such as GOLD LLC.
