EPA Focuses on Fracking, Leaks and More to Further Obamas Methane Plan
2014-04-15 21:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday released five technical papers as the first step to enacting President Barack Obama`s recent plan to reduce methane emissions. The five white papers address different emissions sources and mitigation techniques regarding methane and volatile organic compounds. The sources of focus are fracking, leaks, compressors, liquid removal and pneumatic devices. "[The] EPA will use the papers, along with the input we receive from the peer reviewers...
Big Leaks Found in Pennsylvania Fracking Wells
2014-04-15 21:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: A new study has found that a small number of gas wells are releasing significant quantities of methane into the air even before they are hydraulically fractured, or fracked. The paper, published yesterday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the result of measurements of methane made by flying an airplane over parts of the Marcellus Shale. The researchers detected a "significant regional flux" of methane, a greenhouse gas with about 30 times the warming potential...

Thermoplastic Piping Stops Corrosive Leaks for Paper Production Plant
2014-04-08 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Paper manufacturers rely on piping systems for the safe conveyance of Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCI), commonly known as bleach, to whiten raw paper. One such manufacturer was experiencing leaks from corroded welds in their stainless steel Sch 40 316L piping system.<br /> <br /> In order to provide a safer work environment and protect sensitive equipment, management sought a better solution for handling NaOCI in their manufacturing processes. Paper manufacturing is recognized as an extremely ...This story is related to the following:Waste Pipe | Corrosion Resistant Pipe | CPVC Pipe

Push to reduce methane leaks
2014-04-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Loose pipe flanges. Leaky storage tanks. Condenser valves stuck open. Outdated compressors. Inefficient pneumatic systems. Corroded pipes. Forty separate types of equipment are known to be potential sources of methane emissions during the production and processing of natural gas and oil by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, of underground shale formations. As the fracking boom continues unabated across the U.S., scientists, engineers, and government experts are increasingly focusing on the complex...
