Solutions company mPACT2WO, a Molex business, has announced an end-to-end leak detection system called AirCompliance. This product is a result of a multi-year collaboration between Molex, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and fuels company, Flint Hills Resources (FHR). They have created a fixed, continuous leak detection mechanism as an alternative to existing manual component-by-component periodic EPA Method 21 monitoring requirements.
Krishna Uppuluri, vice president and general manager of mPACT2WO, says: ‘The three-way technology, regulatory and industry partnership shows the potential for successful development of innovative concept-to-compliance solutions…Based on our innovative technology, Molex’s AirCompliance is designed to be a holistic solution for expansion beyond LDAR applications to additional emissions monitoring use cases such as fenceline, tank farms, process safety and other community-partnership activities.’
‘At Flint Hills Resources, we are in constant pursuit of innovative methods to achieve superior outcomes for environmental compliance and operational excellence. Our CRADA collaboration with Molex and the EPA shows the power of transformation when technology, regulatory and industrial innovations come together. This collaboration is part of our overall stewardship approach to continually reduce emissions, enhance safety, and drive operational efficiency,’ adds Chip Hilarides, vice president, quality and stewardship at Flint Hills Resources.
