Environmental Responsibility

Detecting and reducing fugitive emissions to protect the environment, improve safety and enhance operational performance.

Environmental Responsibility

Gas leaks, commonly referred to as fugitive emissions, are a significant concern for oil, gas and process industry facilities.


These emissions may come from intentional sources, such as tanks, controllers, compressor vents and stacks, or from unintentional sources caused by equipment wear, damaged components, incorrect assembly or manufacturing defects.


Although individual leaks may appear insignificant, together they can result in substantial product loss, increased operating costs, safety risks and the release of methane and volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere.


Because fugitive emissions are often invisible and difficult to identify, operators require reliable and cost-effective methods of detecting, measuring and reducing them.


Captiva Sealing provides specialist services to help clients identify, quantify and control fugitive emissions while improving equipment reliability, operational safety and environmental performance.

Fugitive Emissions Detection

Captiva Sealing can support the detection and assessment of emissions using a range of specialist technologies and inspection methods, including:

 

  • Optical gas imaging and infrared camera systems
  • Flame ionisation detector emissions testing
  • Equipment inspection and leak identification
  • Digital imaging and photographic records
  • Numeric, barcode and RFID identification systems
  • Active, semi-passive and passive RFID solutions
  • Volatile organic compound databases
  • Emissions monitoring and reporting programmes

Identification and Data Management

Accurate identification and record-keeping are essential for managing emissions across complex industrial facilities.

 

Captiva Sealing can assist with:

  • Equipment tagging and identification
  • Seal identification and dimensioning
  • Numeric and barcode systems
  • RFID asset identification
  • Digital equipment records
  • Emissions databases
  • Historical inspection records
  • Repair and maintenance tracking

 

These systems help clients monitor individual components, prioritise repairs and maintain clear records of inspection and maintenance activity.

Environmental and Operational Support

Environmental performance is closely connected to equipment condition, inspection standards and maintenance practices.

 

Captiva Sealing can provide additional support in areas including:

 

  • Facilities inspection, maintenance and repair
  • Plant lifecycle optimisation
  • Technical safety reviews and audits
  • Written schemes of examination
  • Asset management
  • Risk management
  • HSE management plans
  • Quality management systems
  • Mechanical and process system review

Captiva’s environmental support can be incorporated into broader inspection, maintenance and project engineering programmes, helping clients improve equipment reliability, reduce product loss and manage operational risk.

 

  • Facilities inspection, maintenance and repair
  • Plant lifecycle optimisation
  • Technical safety reviews and audits
  • Risk management
  • HSE management plans
  • Quality management systems

Measurement and Reporting

Captiva Sealing can help clients quantify identified emissions and produce practical information to support maintenance and environmental decision-making.

Services may include:

  • Emissions measurement
  • Mass emission calculations
  • Leak classification
  • Inspection documentation
  • Repair recommendations
  • Performance reporting
  • Follow-up inspection records

Clear reporting enables operators to understand the scale and location of emissions and take appropriate corrective action.
