Why committee work is so important for you and your business

Overview of different committee work situations.

Being part of an industry comes with different roles and responsibilities to fulfill. Some stakeholders are operators who produce goods or products. Others are suppliers and service providers that get the parts, materials, and solutions demanded by the manufacturing and supply chain processes. There are also distributors and retailers who position the merchandise in the market. The final link in this chain is e.g. the operator. They buy the products, put them to use, and keep this ecosystem running.

If you step back to look at the big picture, this chain might seem to have a stable structure. But let me assure you that this is not the case. One vital part is missing—a puzzle piece that endlessly contributes to the success of the industry.

New chemical plant complies with the stricter TA-Luft amendment in the field of valves

The amended Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA-Luft) regulation came into effect on December 1, 2021. The updated regulation specifies stricter new limits for fugitive emissions from chemical plants. This is a tough challenge for the chemical industry.
In my article, I describe a case study of the challenge engineers faced in selecting compliant valves when building a new chemical plant in Germany.

TA-Luft amendment – What will change for you as a plant planner and plant operator in the area of valves

Sustainable icon with chemical plant complies with TA-Luft amendment.

The Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control or TA-Luft governing Germany’s industrial plants were recently updated. The goal of the TA-Luft is to reduce emissions and improve air quality.

In this article I will give you an overview of the TA-Luft amendment and explain the specificities and requirements applicable to industrial valves. Furthermore, I analyze the changes to the old TA-Luft to identify challenges and solutions.

Plant operators and plant planners can’t miss out on this info to run compliant facilities.

Auswirkungen der neuen TA-Luft auf die Armaturen-Industrie

Man is testing a valve according to revised TA-Luft emission standard.

Die überarbeitete TA-Luft Emissionsnorm wird sich auf die ISO 15848-1 beziehen, um die Allgemeinheit und die Nachbarschaft zu schützen. Und um schädliche Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt durch Luftverschmutzung zu verhindern. All das, um ein hohes Schutzniveau für die Umwelt als Ganzes zu erreichen.
