    Fugitive Emission Requirements

    1. Current fugitive emission requirements for valves include Shell SPE 77/312, TA-Luft 2002 version, and ISO 15848-1. Shell 77/312 and TA-Luft require type approval testing while ISO 15848-1 defines a reliable testing method. 2. TA-Luft, effective in Germany since 2002, requires valves in certain processes to fulfill its requirements which include using metal bellows seals or stems passing long-term endurance and helium tightness testing. 3. ISO 15848-1 defines fugitive emission performance as a combination of tightness class, endurance class, and temperature class and should be the most widely used approval standard going forward.

    FUGITIVE EMISSION REQUIREMENTS

    Current and forthcoming fugitive emission requirements for valves:

    1/ Shell SPE 77/312 specification

    - Fugitive emission type approval and production test specification for ON/OFF and
    control valves

    -”SPE 77/312 type approval is now MANDATORY for the most of the valves to be
    delivered to hydrocarbon processes in any Shell plant “
    (a statement by Shell GSI, February 2004)

    The fugitive emission performance class in 77/312 is a combination of:

    -Tightness class (A, B or C)


    - Endurance class

    -Temperature class

    Leakage measurement method :

    -Open air direct sniffing

    2/ TA-Luft, 2002 version/VDI 2440

    - Has been effective in Germany since October 2002


    - Valves to be delivered in Germany into certain processes* must fulfill TA-Luft
    requirement
    (* Processes nominated in TA-Luft paper)

    -TA-Luft 2002:
    “Metal bellows seal or equivalent stem sealing system”
    -The equivalent stem sealing system:
    Stem sealing system which passes the combined long term endurance and helium
    tightness test made according to a standard VDI2440

    3/ ISO 15848-1 type approval standard

    - ISO 15848-1 is a standard for fugitive emission type approvals

    - Fugitive emission performance in ISO15848-1 is defined as a combination of:


    -Tightness class (A, B or C)
    -Endurance class (CO-1 to CC-3)
    -Temperature class (t-196 to t+400)

    EN-ISO 15848-1 in brief:


    -ISO 15848-1 defines a reliable method to measure the fugitive emission
    performance of the valve (vacuum or flushing chamber method)

    -Common understanding among valve manufacturers is that ISO 15848-1 should be


    the most widely used fugitive emission type approval standard in the future

    4/ EPA requirement

    -Part of environmental legislation in USA


    -Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established requirements which are
    based on the Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1990 and its subsequent amendments
    -A plant must comply with EPA fugitive emissions requirements if it is handling
    environmentally hazardous or toxic chemicals
    -The current EPA criteria for VOC emission level is 500 ppm
    -Test method to be used has to be EPA 21 or equivalent (sniffing method)
    -Some industry standards treat EPA limit as if it was a representation of the leakage
    rate --> 500ppm (or 100 ppm) limit is required for valves to be delivered
    - EPA 21 method was developed to locate and classify leaks on-site. Not to be used
    as direct measurement of an emission rate of an individual source such as a valve.
