Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programs are essential for industrial operations aiming to minimize fugitive emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous gases. LDAR is a systematic approach that involves detecting, monitoring, and repairing leaks to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection.
This training program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to implement effective LDAR programs. The course covers technical aspects of leak detection technologies, regulatory frameworks, repair techniques, and best management practices. Through interactive lectures, practical sessions, and case studies, attendees will be equipped to design, execute, and maintain LDAR programs that reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Understand the fundamentals of fugitive emissions and their environmental and health impacts.
Identify sources of leaks in industrial settings and select appropriate detection technologies.
Develop and implement comprehensive LDAR programs in compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Perform accurate leak detection using various technologies, including OGI, sniffer instruments, and other methods.
Execute effective repair procedures and maintain leak records.
Analyze LDAR data to improve environmental performance and operational reliability.
Communicate LDAR findings and generate compliance reports.
Instructor-Led Training: Detailed lectures supported by multimedia presentations.
Hands-On Practice: Field exercises using detection tools and repair techniques.
Group Discussions: Collaborative problem-solving and experience sharing.
Case Studies: Review of successful LDAR implementations and challenges.
Assessments: Quizzes and practical evaluations to measure understanding.
Role-Playing: Simulated leak detection and repair scenarios.
Implementing a robust LDAR program within an organization results in:
Significant reduction of VOC and hazardous gas emissions.
Compliance with environmental regulations and avoidance of fines.
Enhanced workplace safety and reduced risk of fire or explosion.
Improved operational efficiency and decreased product loss.
Positive corporate image through environmental responsibility.
Data-driven decision-making for maintenance and operational planning.
