Federal, state and local requirements |
|
The complexity of rules and special agreements |
Team's careful Method 21 monitoring utilizes advanced technology that meets EPA protocol |
|
Monitoring schedules |
|
Specialized record keeping and reporting |
With hundreds of customers and millions of records, Team has the experience and expertise needed to handle all your LDAR requirements. From program set-up and initial assessment to third-party audits, Team will help you maintain LDAR compliance every step of the way. |
Regulatory Applicability Assistance |
| Team helps customers design LDAR programs that meet all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. The experts at Team will assist you in the development of effective programs to support inspections, reporting and enforcement activities. |
Stream Applicability Assistance |
| Different types of product streams require varying component monitoring, repair and reporting schedules. Team's LDAR experts will help you determine affected process streams and monitoring requirements. |
Locate, Flag, Tag and Identify Equipment |
| Based on EPA statistics, the average-sized plant may have from 3,000 to 30,000 individual components that require monitoring. Team's LDAR specialists will locate, flag, tag and identify each applicable component. Regulatory compliance tag numbers are assigned and component information recorded. Hand-held electronic data collection of component ID, source type and rule applicability minimizes transaction errors. |
Method 21 Monitoring / Leak Identification |
| Method 21 is an EPA protocol for monitoring VOC leaks to ensure that fugitive air emissions are identified and eliminated to control air pollution and protect the public's health. Team's certified LDAR personnel use state-of-the-art technology and software to thoroughly test all tagged components in compliance with EPA Method 21. |
MOC Services |
Comprehensive LDAR Training |
| Team's proven Management of Change services deliver a compliant and documented LDAR process that ensures all regulated equipment is properly identified and the component inventory is properly maintained. |
First, Second, Advanced Repair Services
|
| When a leak is found, a first attempt at repair must be done typically within five days and completed within 15 days. Some regulations require a first attempt in as little as one day. A delay of repair may be applied for if certain conditions are met. As the largest industrial services company in North America, Team's experts provide complete repair services for virtually all types of process equipment. |
