Onboard Dynamics to Present at the 2022 Western Regional Gas Conference

by

Rita Hansen, CEO of Onboard Dynamics will be presenting solutions for methane recovery at the 2022 Western Regional Gas Conference. The session will be held at 10:15 am on August 24th. During this session, attendees will learn how the GoVAC® FLEX enables operators to take the lead in incorporating best practices during natural gas pipeline evacuation.

Onboard Dynamics to Present at the WRGC

There are a handful of technologies across the performance spectrum available to operators to assist in performing pipeline evacuation. Onboard Dynamics has launched one of them. It is called the GoVAC FLEX, which enables pipeline crews to prevent close to 100% of emissions from happening. With the GoVAC Flex, operators can draw down the pipeline to near 0 PSIG using the natural gas in the pipeline as its source of power. The recovered gas can then be transferred into an adjoining pipeline or compressed up to 3600 PSIG and put into a tube trailer for transport and reinjection elsewhere or into a storage tank to be used as CNG fuel for vehicles.

The GoVAC Flex is a mobile system that has a flow rate of 100 SCFM or 100MCF per day. The system can accept inlet pressures up to 1200 PSI and outlet pressures are based on what you are compressing into with a maximum of 3600 PSI.

The Western Regional Gas Conference is held in Scottsdale, Arizona on August 23 and 24th. It is a non-profit organization that covers O&M topics, integrity management, and new technology for the natural gas industry. There are conferences, seminars, and vendor exhibits.

The WRGC objectives are to provide a venue for discussion of natural gas distribution and transmission topics, regulations, and issues. It provides an atmosphere of fellowship, information exchange, and networking between delegates, speakers, and vendors. The venue also gives operators a chance to interact with PHMSA and State Regulators on an informal basis.

USDI and Onboard Dynamics Team Up to Minimize Methane Emissions

by

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign owns and operates approximately 22 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline bringing the fuel to Abbott Power Plant and portions of campus from a connection with Kinder Morgan NGPL near Monticello, IL.  Pipeline safety regulations required the university to install new equipment at the pipeline take point to protect the pipeline from overpressure and allow it to be internally inspected…

Excerpt from Partnership for Energy Progress:

As a nation, we have set a goal of fighting climate change to preserve and protect our planet. To be “carbon neutral” by 2050, it’s crucial to have a robust, leak-free gas distribution system to complement and supplement renewable energy sources and exploit new forms of zero-carbon and carbon-negative gases, such as renewable natural gas and hydrogen…

Onboard Dynamics selected among the winners at the 2022 SGA Innovative Tech Forum

by

The Southern Gas Association announced the winning presentations for the 2022 Innovative Tech forum. Onboard Dynamics was chosen for their patented, innovative GoVACTM FLEX system which helps pipeline operators safely, and cleanly evacuate natural gas pipelines.

The GoVACTM FLEX is a portable, self-contained natural gas pipeline evacuation system. The patented integrated combustion engine runs on a small portion of the natural gas that is being compressed. Without the need for external power sources, such as diesel-powered air compressors. This design results in a low-carbon and emissions footprint during pipeline evacuations. The system can transfer recovered natural gas to either an adjacent pipeline or a tube trailer and/or a CNG storage pod. This system is small enough to be towed by standard pickup, making it easy to maneuver around job sites and be quickly deployed to field operations.

About the Tech Forum

Southern Gas Association’s Innovative Tech Forum celebrates natural gas innovation. The forum is a dynamic tech fest dedicated to product and service discovery and highlights all the ways innovative thinking and innovative technology can build a better and cleaner energy future for all of us. Focusing on innovation, SGA Associate Members who submitted proposals will have an opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge solutions with the SGA Operating Member community in a 15-minute live technology presentation with live Q&A during the 2022 Management Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.

The panel of Industry Judges included SGA’s Board Executive Committee and our 32 Board Directors.

The winning presentations at the Innovative Tech Forum equip the industry with the equipment and practices necessary to allow the world to meet rising energy demand achieving climate aspirations.
