Leak Detection and Repair You Can Trust!

What is LDAR?

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) (LDAR)
is a proven method for identifying and reducing hazardous emissions from industrial equipment. Through routine monitoring, LDAR programs detect leaks early, allowing facilities to address them before they become major issues. To stay compliant, facilities must monitor components
at scheduled intervals and quickly repair any detected leaks. When a leak is identified, regulations require prompt action—either repairing or replacing the faulty component within a set timeframe.

Beyond compliance, LDAR programs offer significant benefits. They reduce product loss, enhance worker safety, and lower harmful emissions in surrounding communities. Additionally, companies that prioritize LDAR can lower VOC and HAP emissions, avoid costly enforcement actions, and improve compliance with regulations such as Method 21.

Emissions from equipment leaks can be significantly reduced or even eliminated by implementing a well-structured Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program or installing advanced leak-prevention technology. In many cases, regulations encourage using both approaches together for the best results. For example, techniques like Method 21 and Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) have proven highly effective, helping facilities reduce thousands of tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) each year. Because of this, compliance with LDAR regulations is not only legally required but also essential for minimizing environmental impact.

At LDAR BUSTERS, we have decades of experience applying both federal and state regulations. As a result, we understand the most effective equipment, software, and practices necessary to ensure your LDAR program meets and exceeds industry standards. By taking a proactive approach, we help facilities achieve compliance, reduce emissions, and improve overall efficiency.
