Gas infrastructure — Equipment to be installed and procedures to be used to prevent or minimise venting and flaring with limitations and feasibility criteria cen:proj:80560

Scope

This document covers gas transmission, distribution and/or storage system and LNG terminal
This document lists the equipment and/or components that can be venting by design and the operating situations that can lead to vent or flare, including maintenance.
This document makes clear what are the applicable mitigation measures to venting and flaring and their limitations, as well as what a zero emitting equipment is.
In such, this document gives guidance on:
— the best available techniques in terms of zero or low emissions, and the right applicability conditions for such techniques, for equipment designed or potentially designed to vent including but not limited to:
- Compressors
- Dry Gas Seals
- Measuring devices
- Pneumatic devices
- Atmospheric pressure storage tanks
- Gas quality measurement
— the best available techniques to recover or utilize on site otherwise vented or flared methane and their associated applicability conditions.
— the conditions in which venting is unavoidable and flaring can’t be used.
— the condition in which flaring is unavoidable.
Finally, the document describes criteria to be considered to set an efficient and realistic mitigation plan implementation schedule.
