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
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.

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.

Requirements are not very high in the regular refrigeration market, which includes supermarkets and industrial applications. But things are different in the Petrochemical as well as Oil & Gas Industry. As an expert for industrial valves, I often notice that the demand for high-quality valves has increased significantly in these industries. But what is the reason? Let`s find it out!
