April 16, 2010, Denver, CO.   Ei is engaged in preliminary discussions with one of the industry’s leading Fugitive Emissions Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) compliance database providers, InspectionLogic, who created and supports LeakDAS™.  According to data provided by InspectionLogic, LeakDAS is the selected Fugitive Emissions LDAR software in more than 70% of U.S. petroleum refineries.  InspectionLogic is a division of ORR Corporation based in Louisville, KY and has been leaders in fugitive emissions compliance dating back to 1991 when InspectionLogic was started.

This business relationship will enable Ei and InspectionLogic to provide enhanced fugitive emissions LDAR compliance tools to the energy industry.  The two companies are seeking to integrate LeakDAS™ equipment inventory, monitoring and compliance records with Ei’s patent-pending LDAR Intelligence module.  Ei’s LDAR Intelligence module is a powerful database-driven system that integrates intelligent P&IDs with other data management systems in order to achieve real-time fugitive emissions LDAR compliance. 

One of the most exciting benefits that will result from this business relationship will be the opportunity to serve the 70% market of petroleum refineries and growing number of chemical plants using LeakDAS™ as their fugitive emissions LDAR compliance data management system.  Ei’s LDAR Intelligence module promises to streamline the Management of Change (MOC) process to enable facilities to better comply with the 30-day requirement in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart VV to inventory and monitor new valves in light liquid and gas-vapor service.  In essence, when a change to a P&ID is executed by a draftsman working in an “intelligent P&ID,” Ei’s LDAR Intelligence module will instantaneously alert LDAR personnel of the component’s LDAR service designation, its process location, as well as the date that the component was added (or deleted) from the “intelligent P&ID.”

Ei and InspectionLogic hope to formalize this business relationship in time for the ISA LDAR 2010 Symposium on May 18-20 in San Antonio, Texas.  Both Ei and InspectionLogic will be in attendance at the Symposium as exhibitors and look forward to sharing more information with conference attendees.  Be sure to check out Ei and InspectionLogic’s conference booths to learn more about the latest developments in this budding relationship!
