Message from the Chairman

Dear friends and fellows in the community,

It is my great honor to participate in the 2016 Fugitive Emission Summit China as Chairman of the expert organizing committee. Fugitive emissions remain a hot topic within the petrochemical industry, but one that is hard to solve. It’s an important topic because of frequent accidents caused by fugitive emissions, but there is hardly any sign of mitigation.

Also, VOCs contributed by petrochemical plants via fugitive emissions are a cause of air pollution; and field operators might suffer occupational disease. At the same time, plants might suffer economic loss because VOCs can be raw materials, intermediate products or even final products.

The fugitive emission issue is both complicated and multi-disciplinary. It involves environment protection, safety, energy saving, occupational health, etc. Therefore, it’s really necessary to build up a comprehensive communication platform where experts can conveniently exchange experience and discuss technical issues.

As society becomes more and more serious about air quality and environmental issues, authorities are imposing more critical requirements against environmental pollution. The focus of experts and this event is to control the VOCs fugitive emission issues in the petrochemical industry and gradually reduce VOC emission.

Topics covered by this conference include international fugitive emission standards; timing of application of LDAR in the markets of different countries; valve and flange sealing technology; VOCs mitigation and LDAR concerned laws and regulations in China; practical cases of fugitive emission control; low emission testing; refinery and chemical plant practices; trends of the industry, and more.

We’re keen to invite end users, government authorities, research institutions, engineering companies and equipment suppliers to join this event.

I look forward to seeing you at the 2016 Fugitive Emission Summit China!
