Fugitive emissions are accidental releases of gases which may be caused due to defaults in equipment design resulting in leakage or system errors mostly from industrial activities. This type of leakage is never noticed or sensed through any device. The term fugitive is used as the emission is not measured in the design of the device, collected by the equipment/systems for pollution control and is not detected by the usual inspection phase of the equipment. Fugitive pollution can potentially pose a threat to human health, safety, and climate. Fugitive emissions are released from industries such as refineries, during oil extractions and generation of solid fuel, petroleum and gas industries, etc. These toxic compounds from the industries are released into the environment basically due to leaks and major components which contribute to leakage are; Flanges Connectors Valves Pumps Compressors Pressure relief devices Agitators What is Fugitive Emissions testing?

The mechanical seal is helpful to rotate the part of the shaft against the stationary segment of the pump housing. So the shaft is allowed to turn while maintaining a seal. Hence, it turns out to be extremely difficult for leakage to occur beyond vapor if the installation is done correctly in good condition. Lubrication and parallel faces are essential to a mechanical seal pump . In case the pump fails to supply adequate lift, a seal support system is implemented to generate a lubricating fluid. The front face of the seal usually contains a black carbon face.  What is a Mechanical Seal on a Pump? The mechanical seals are devices that form a packing. The packing is formed between the rotor and the stationary segment of the centrifugal pumps. This is beneficial in preventing the leakage of the fluid after pumping. Every mechanical seal pump has five primary elements. They are: A ring that circulates synchronously with the rotating shaft. A secondary seal betwe...

Subsequent to an acquisition, the purchase price is allocated to the assets and liabilities of a company in what is known as purchase price allocation. The primary objective of this exercise is to ensure financial statements are updated, especially with regard to an asset (tangible/intangible) in order to establish its accurate value. The process is required for complying with financial reporting standards (GAAP/IFRS) as per set guidelines and, if not done accurately, can create serious accounting issues for the company. It is essential to carry out the correct valuation of acquired assets and liabilities and allocate the residual value to intangible assets such as goodwill and intellectual property.  Having an inaccurate purchase price allocation or not conducting it can create issues for the company in later stages. They are: Inaccurate purchase price allocation analysis can lead to gross over/understatement of acquired intangibles, which could result in red flags during your...
