The Issue

SF6 is a global warming gas and the leakage of process gases and liquids from compartments is a global issue. Leakage of SF6 is more than an internal concern and is now a broader ethical obligation, as utility companies commit to carbon neutrality by 2050. As a requirement to report loss rates in line with permitted release rates, leakage of SF6 gas is highly detrimental to achieving this goal. Therefore utilities need an effective preventative maintenance plan for assets to remain operational and to ensure business continuity.
