10th Annual ISA Fugitive Emissions-LDAR Symposium

Welcome to the 10th Fugitive Emissions LDAR Training & Symposium

Register onsite! While our online registration option is no longer available, you can still register onsite!

The ISA Fugitive Emissions Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Symposium celebrates its 10th year in 2010. From a humble beginning of just 16 attendees, this symposium now attracts over 250 people from around the world. It has become the air compliance industry’s only conference whose sole purpose is to share best practices for Leak Detection And Repair and Directed Inspection and Maintenance programs.

The 10th Annual ISA LDAR Symposium will have a full day of presentations from companies such as Sunoco Chemical, Marathon, Valero, and others. We will hear from the EPA regarding flare compliance, and the TCEQ will discuss LDAR Deviations under Title V. The first day will finish up with the symposium’s infamous Regulatory Compliance Panel Discussion.

Day two will offer something completely new—ISA’s Emissions Reduction Technology Forum. Each session during the forum will expose the attendees to a new or innovative product that claims to prevent or reduce fugitive VOC emissions from chemical processes. An expert panel will challenge those claims, and then open the floor to the attendees for further discussions. Those responsible for equipment maintenance, the “And Repair” side of LDAR, and proactive reliability engineering are encouraged to attend.

Reasons why the ISA LDAR Symposium is a must-attend event:

• Regulatory agencies use this forum to announce upcoming changes to compliance requirements, and to share findings from recent enforcement actions
• Industry peers present their experiences and best practices
• Suppliers make major announcements and unveil new product releases
• Many opportunities for hands-on product demonstrations
• Between sessions, attendees network and share their experiences in a relaxed atmosphere

Where do you fit in? Symposium attendees will include LDAR Program Administrators, LDAR Coordinators and Supervisors, Air Compliance Managers, Environmental Engineers, Maintenance Managers, Reliability Engineers, Consultants, Monitoring Services Contractors, and other vendors who provide products or services to the LDAR community.

The ISA Fugitive Emissions LDAR Symposium’s 10th anniversary will be more than informative—it will deliver a high return on investment for attendees and the companies they represent.
