FlowBiz Fugitive Emission Testing: Engineered for a Greener Future

At FlowBiz Exports, we are committed to environmental stewardship and operational safety. To prevent the escape of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants, we adhere to the world’s most stringent standards for Fugitive Emission Testing.

Our valves are designed to protect both your personnel and the planet by ensuring the absolute integrity of stem seals and body joints.

Global Standards: API 641 & ISO 15848-1:2015

We specialize in quarter-turn valve solutions that meet the highest international benchmarks:

  • ISO 15848-1:2015 Compliance: We follow this rigorous global standard to evaluate the external leakage of valve stem seals and shafts.
  • API 641 Certification: Specifically recognized by the S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), our API 641 testing utilizes Methane as a testing medium and EPA Method 21 for precise emission measurement.
  • Zero-Leakage Mentality: Our valves are tested to ensure a maximum allowable leakage of less than 100 parts per million by volume (ppmv), significantly reducing the environmental footprint of your facility.

High-Performance Seals for Extreme Conditions

FlowBiz valve packings are engineered for resilience across a vast operational spectrum:

  • Temperature Versatility: Our packing materials maintain their seal at temperatures ranging from –29°C to 538°C (–20°F to 1000°F).
  • Resilience Factors: Our fugitive emission performance is validated against real-world stressors, including:
    • Thermal & Mechanical Cycling: Ensuring the seal remains intact even after thousands of operations and extreme temperature shifts.
    • High-Pressure Integrity:Maintaining a tight seal under full-rated industrial pressure.
    • Corrosion Resistance: Using materials that resist chemical degradation to prevent long-term leakage.

Why Is Fugitive Emission Testing Critical?

  • Environmental Safety: Prevents the release of greenhouse gases and volatile pollutants into the atmosphere.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps your plant meet EPA and international environmental mandates.
  • Hazardous Fluid Management: Essential for the safe transport of toxic or flammable media where even a microscopic leak is unacceptable.
