MISTRAS' Acoustic Leak Detection Device Approved for Use in EPA's Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule 40 CFR Part 98
March 07 2011 - 4:01PM
MISTRAS Group, Inc.'s (NYSE:MG) Acoustic Leak Detection Device has
been approved for use in meeting the EPA's Mandatory Reporting of
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Rule 40 CFR Part 98. The Mandatory
Report Rule (MMR) requires entities in the oil and gas industry
exceeding certain emissions thresholds to monitor and report their
greenhouse gas emissions to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
The device, termed the VPAC™, not only detects the presence of
through valve leakage but also uses a proprietary calculation
method to quantify the through valve leak rate that is unique in
the industry meeting the criteria stated in the MMR mandate.
The VPAC™ acoustic emission device technology has been the
through valve leak detection standard for over 15 years. Based on
over 10 years of research and with over 400 systems currently in
use by major oil and gas companies worldwide, the VPAC™ is the
solution of choice for through valve leak detection and
quantification in the industry.
In addition, the intelligent device allows the end user or
MISTRAS Service inspectors to pre load the valve route directly
into the device prior to taking readings. This saves significant
time and helps validate the inspection. All information collected
is easily transferred to a PC that generates fixed and custom
reports documenting the inspections for submittal.

information on the VPAC™ and the EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Program (GHGRP).
