This training will focus on identifying best practices in regards to valve packing installation in downstream emissions service. The best valve packing installed incorrectly will not ensure compliance to LDAR requirements. It is imperative that a plant have a serious, focused, approach to this important subject. One way to improve this is by creating a continuous improvement process regarding valve packing that is fact based and focusing on Identifying and classifying root causes of packing performance.
Some of the points that the training will include:
- Accurate measuring of valve dimensions
- Observing valve issues that could hinder sealing
- Installation of packing
- Torque and bolting considerations for Low E sealing
- Consolidation of packing
- Multi-discipline continuous improvement program focusing on root causes of packing failures
