Ei is excited to announce that we will be co-presenting a webinar with Autodesk entitled "Using AutoCAD P&ID to Facilitate Compliance – LDAR Made Easy" on Monday, May 17th. The webinar will feature a discussion on how Autodesk's intelligent P&ID platform, AutoCAD P&ID, can be utilized in combination with Ei's LDAR Intelligence software in order to simplify the process of complying with LDAR regulations.
The webinar will feature a live demonstration of both Ei's LDAR Intelligence plug-in and AutoCAD P&ID using a petroleum refining process as the case study. The speakers will showcase how intelligent P&IDs can be linked to other software systems (such as laboratory analytical databases, LDAR inspection databases, etc.) in order to create a "real-time" LDAR compliance environment.
By attending this webinar, we hope that you will:
- Observe how P&IDs can be highlighted automatically utilizing connectivity of the drawings with a laboratory analytical database.
- Learn how AutoCAD P&ID drawings can be connected to LDAR databases, so that LDAR Coordinators are alerted when regulated equipment is added/removed from service.
- Discover new systems for managing process changes and their impact to LDAR compliance.
- ...and many more fun and exciting learning experiences!!!
Space is limited, so check back for information on how to RSVP...

Ei will once again be exhibiting and presenting at the International Society of Automation's LDAR Symposium happening May 17th-19th at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans, LA. The presentation will focus on utilizing Data Driven CAD solutions such as AutoCAD's P&ID software solution to implement a real-time LDAR compliance program. Utilizing data driven technologies saves money and lowers the risk of compliance failures. See you at the show!

April 22, 2010. Laramie, Wyoming. Ei will be a conference exhibitor at the 10th Annual ISA LDAR 2010 Symposium, which is taking place in San Antonio during May 18-20, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.
Ei recently gave a technical presentation entitled "Utilizing Data-Driven Drawings to Streamline Environmental, Health, and Safety Regulation Compliance" at the DigitalPlant 2010 Conference in Houston, Texas during March. Ei's presentation was a technical overview of its software technology which has been developed in order to integrate regulatory compliance determinations and reporting into intelligent P&IDs.
Be sure to visit Ei's conference booth to learn more about Ei's patent pending technology, and how it can provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for environmental, safety, and health compliance.

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!

Houston, TX - March 3, 2010 - Environmental Intellect (Ei), a software technology company from Laramie, WY presented to an audience of energy industry leaders its newest technical innovation with the Intelligence line of environmental regulatory tools. Ei partner Shane Kling outlined the cost savings and program benefits associated with utilizing Intelligent Engineered Drawing software available from vendors such as Autodesk, Intergraph and Bentley Systems. "The Intelligence plug-in bridges the gap between facility Engineering and facility Environmental by leveraging a common system to share data to inform and communicate live regulatory data to facility staff", said Kling. He continued "Ei is excited to be a part of this new technology and it seems that industry is ready to take the next step in understanding the benefits and long term cost savings associated with solutions that use collaborative information sharing as their basis". Ei will be attending the upcoming ISA LDAR conference in May 2010.
