Meeting the Challenge of Valve Emission Control
Over the past three decades, the push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has revolutionized valve sealing technology. Methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, has driven the development of advanced low-emission packing solutions and stringent testing standards. Modern regulations now limit valve emissions to below 100 ppm, requiring precision-engineered packing, proper installation, and continuous monitoring. Chesterton’s Low-E technologies, including Styles 1622 and 6800, exemplify how innovation can simultaneously meet regulatory demands, enhance safety, and extend equipment life. Download now.
