The 6th ISA Annual Fugitive Emissions - Leak Detection and Repair Symposium will be held 13-15 June 2006 in Houston, Texas.

The symposium covers leak detection and repair (LDAR) methods and fugitive emissions management systems.

The event is designed to create a forum in which paper presentations, tutorials, and speaker panels transfer information from the world's leading experts on fugitive emissions and LDAR to industry professionals.

Industry experts in leak detection and repair will discuss implementations and improvements in LDAR programs in plant facilities.

Sessions covering data quality control, improving compliance, EPA regulations, tagless LDAR, and more are planned.

Event highlights include a training course entitled "Surviving an LDAR Audit" on 13 June.

The course teaches professionals how to evaluate their LDAR programme and prepare for audits from corporate headquarters, their states, the federal government, and third party auditors.

Conference sessions and panel discussions will include.
