ISA’s LDAR symposium is the longest-running U.S. conference devoted to LDAR and air-compliance. Attendees get recent news and updates on EPA requirements and mandates, as well as effective strategies and practices from government regulators and industry experts. This year’s event again featured presentations, panel discussions and interactive sessions, drawing on the insights of government officials, LDAR program experts, engineers, consultants and end users. The event’s highlights included:

• Two interactive panel sessions featuring regulatory officials from the U.S. EPA’s National Enforcement Investigation Center (NEIC) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) along with other LDAR authorities.

• A distinguished lineup of guest speakers, including Deever Bradley (ERM), instructor and conference co-chair; Ken Garing (NEIC); Joe Wilwerding (EPA) and other EPA Region 8 and CDPHE personnel; Graham “Buzz” Harris (Sage Environmental Consulting); and conference co-chair Matthew Gobert and Brian Whitley (both of EMSI Environmental Services).

• Examination of recent case studies and real-world successes in air compliance across the U.S.

• Exhibits by more than 25 vendors showcasing the latest LDAR tools and technologies.
