Right now in North America, major regulatory changes are happening in regard to sealing valves in Low Emissions service. This webinar will be discussing the regulations and the challenges industry is facing to curb methane and fugitive emissions including an insight into the new EPA methane rules. The FSA is proud to offer this 1.5 hour webinar that will give solid information about the coming wave of changes to meet regulatory requirements for valve sealing. Valves are recognized as one of the primary sources of emissions leakage and this webinar will focus on the relationship between valve and valve packing and the adoption of best available technologies and correct installation practices. The speakers will be Phil Mahoney, Vice President of the Fluid Sealing Association, and Ron Frisard, Vice Chair of the Compression Packing Division of the Fluid Sealing Association. The cost of this webinar is $50 and the course will be eligible for PDH credits (2 hours). To register, click here. |

FSA Update
The FSA continues a focused path toward being the leading trade association in the Americas that is recognized and accepted as a subject matter expert and technical leader that advocates and influences environmental compliance to create and raise standards in technology, safety, quality, and best practices for sealing devices. We continue to grow our relationships with HI and the VMA, and in addition we have developed partnerships with Valve World Americas, Fugitive Emissions Summit, and Pump Summit Americas; all of which directly support our new strategy and strengthen our position as a leading trade association.
Government affairs activities continue to increase with regard to support of the association's mission and new strategic plan. Environmental compliance and WTO negotiations are still taking center stage, however the scope is starting to increase outside of the main base of United States and into Canada where activity is increasing with regard to the development of new emissions standards. The Committee is actively participating in the WTO environmental goods negotiations in conjunction with the ESA and CSA (China Seals Association) as well as working with technical director, Henri Azibert, to provide FSA comments to the EPA rulemaking on methane emissions. The FSA is focused on these activities given the market impact both of these efforts will have on the fluid sealing industry and is repositioning itself to become an aggressive advocate for sealing device technology with public policy makers.

Valve Stem Packing Compression & Installation
With today's mandate for reduced fugitive emissions and improved air quality in industrial valves, proper installation of stem packing has become critical. But the importance of effective sealing by packing in the stuffing box goes beyond volatile operations where leakage can be hazardous. It also applies to applications such as steam and low-temperature inert services. Stem packing leakage in non-fugitive emissions applications can be expensive because of product loss and a reduction of operating efficiency. It all comes down to proper installation with precisely the right material.

 We Love the FSA! FSA members showed their support of the association at the recent 2016 FLMUG show in New Orleans, LA. Part of the on-going initiative of the association to promote member company activity and participation was to show FSA experts in action at events that include our collective customers. Please stay tuned as more of these events are photo bombed by association members and then tweeted out for the world to see that we really do "Love the FSA" |
