In this latest Energy Influencers campaign instalment, Kathairos is proud to showcase the immense speed, scale and reach of its nitrogen-powered methane mitigation system, with never-before-seen footage of its exclusive partnership with cryogenic equipment manufacturer Chart Industries.
The campaign offers an extraordinary glimpse into the technology’s journey from inception to installation, beginning at Chart's Ball Ground, Georgia manufacturing facility and ending at thousands of oil and gas well sites across the US and Canada.
Methane mitigation: How it works
The Kathairos-Chart decarbonization system stores liquid nitrogen in a standalone tank and vaporizes it into clean, dry, inert nitrogen gas to power well site controls.
It has no moving parts and requires no maintenance or outside power, rendering it the ideal solution for eliminating methane emissions at remote facilities.
Simplicity, scalability, stewardship
In line with Kathairos and Chart’s shared commitment to supporting the energy industry in quickly and effectively addressing methane emissions, each unit is built and delivered within eight weeks or less.
Upon arrival at the customer's site, the cryogenic tank is simply tied in at a single connection point, so that nitrogen instantly replaces methane as a fuel source for the pneumatic control systems and vented emissions are immediately brought to zero.
Unparalleled collaboration, innovation and commitment from factory to field
Chart’s unmatched production capacity and expertise combined with Kathairos’ proprietary application and North American-wide nitrogen distribution network offer a proven path to eliminating methane emissions at oil and gas facilities of every size, design and location.
Together, the clean tech leaders are answering the call for a simple, reliable, and cost-effective way to address more than 600,000 US and Canadian oil and gas facilities currently venting methane in their routine operations.
“Methane venting is the most pressing emissions issue facing the oil and gas industry,” said Dick Brown, President and CEO of Kathairos. “As the need to decarbonize upstream and midstream operations amplifies and regulatory compliance tightens, the need for a scalable, economical solution is paramount.”
