Minimize GHG Emissions During Natural Gas Pipeline Maintenance
Does your company maintain natural gas pipelines? Do you need a simple, inexpensive solution to evacuate gas from pipelines without flaring or venting residual gas?

- Freedom from External Power
No electricity, diesel, or any other fuel source is required in its operation. The unit runs on a small portion of the natural gas it is evacuating from the pipeline.
- Portability/ Mobility
Small enough to be pulled by a half-ton pickup. The integrated unit is easy to maneuver around a job site.
- Flexible Inlet/ Outlet Pressures
The GoVAC can draw a pipeline down to near zero psig and inject it into an adjoining line at any pressure or can compress up to 3600 psig into a tube trailer.
- Flexibility in Siting
Hazardous area compliant and can operate near pipelines without the need for external generators or air compressors.
- Environmental Reporting
Metering capabilities are included that can provide operators with customized environmental reports and operational metrics.
- 24/7 Remote Monitoring
The GoVAC comes equipped with cellular telematics which allows for remote operations monitoring and two-way communications.
LOWER EMISSIONS FOOTPRINT
Pipeline operators are increasingly taking a “big picture” view of their sustainability efforts. These firms recognize that it’s important to minimize the GHG footprint of natural gas pipeline operations work. The GoVAC operates on natural gas which is a much cleaner fuel compared to diesel for performing pipeline evacuation work. Because it operates on natural gas, the GoVAC with its state-of-the art emissions control equipment provides the cleanest possible way to evacuate pipelines.
84%
Less GHG Emissions
The GoVAC emits 84% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than competitive products that require a diesel-powered air compressor in their operation.


BY THE NUMBERS
The GoVAC consumes ~2.1 gasoline gallons equivalent (GGE) of CNG per hour, which generates ~30 lbs. of CO2e emissions per hour. Diesel-powered air compressors that are being used to power competitive products consume ~8.5 gallons per hour, which generate ~190 lbs. of CO2e emissions per hour.
