Fugitive emissions eliminator – TRACErase

Fugitive emissions eliminator

The patented fugitive emissions eliminator – TRACErase technology uses a catalytic combustion process to oxidize the vented sample while maintaining the atmospheric pressure reference.

Fugitive emissions are air pollutants

Operation of chemical and gas processing plants and transportation pipelines often requires the use of chemical analysis instrumentation. These instruments frequently require a pressure reference to atmospheric pressure for proper operation. This reference can be achieved by venting the sample to the atmosphere. These vented samples, generally called fugitive emissions, are air pollutants and contribute to worldwide pollution problems.

TRACErase Focus

The TRACErase technology addresses vented emissions by using a catalytic combustion process to oxidize the released gas before it reaches the atmosphere. This process ensures that the emissions are neutralized while maintaining the required pressure reference for instrumentation. Unlike traditional venting systems that simply release gases, TRACErase offers a sustainable and regulatory-compliant solution by converting pollutants into less harmful byproducts.

By integrating TRACErase, industries can reduce their contribution to air pollution while maintaining safe and efficient operations.

Fugitive vs vented emissions

Fugitive emissions and vented emissions are both sources of air pollution in industrial operations, but they differ in their origins and control mechanisms.

  • Fugitive Emissions: These are unintended releases of gases or vapors from pressurized equipment such as valves, flanges, seals, and connections in chemical plants, refineries, and pipelines. These leaks occur due to wear, improper sealing, or mechanical failures and contribute significantly to air pollution, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gases like methane.
  • Vented Emissions: These are controlled emissions released from industrial processes to maintain proper system operation. For example, gas analyzers and other instrumentation often require atmospheric pressure reference points, which result in venting gases to the atmosphere. Although these emissions are intentional, they still contribute to environmental pollution and regulatory challenges.
