At Onboard Dynamics, we believe that innovation should do more than solve problems—it should reshape how industries think about reducing emissions while increasing efficiency. That’s exactly what the GoVAC® Pipeline Evacuation System is doing for the natural gas sector.
Recently, ZENRG Services became the latest company to embrace our innovative technology, acquiring multiple GoVAC® Systems to expand their emissions-free pipeline operations. But this story isn’t just about a purchase—it’s about a smarter, cleaner way to work.

What Makes the GoVAC® System Different?
Many pipeline evacuation methods often rely on additional equipment and personnel to get the job done. These practices are costly and inefficient. The GoVAC® System improves pipeline evacuation projects with these key benefits:
- Self-Powered Operation
No diesel. No electricity. No external fuel. The system runs on the natural gas it evacuates—making it fully self-sustaining. - Compact and Mobile
Designed for field efficiency, the GoVAC® is a fully integrated, easy-to-deploy system that requires no additional equipment. - Hazardous Area Compliant
Built to operate safely near pipelines without the need for external generators or compressors. - Real-Time Reporting
Operators get accurate environmental and operational data through an intuitive control system. - Safety Through Monitoring
Remote monitoring allows for real-time oversight and communications from anywhere.
“We designed the GoVAC® System to support the natural gas industry during pipeline maintenance operations,” said Mitch Schmidtke, CEO of Onboard Dynamics. “Its ability to operate independently, safely, and with real-time data reporting makes it a powerful tool for companies like ZENRG that are leading the charge in natural gas pipeline service operations.”
A Smart Move by ZENRG Services
ZENRG’s choice to adopt the GoVAC® System is part of a larger trend in the natural gas industry—a shift toward using portable, easy-to-deploy technologies that are designed to reduce methane emissions without sacrificing safety or efficiency in the field.
“At ZENRG, we’re committed to practical, scalable solutions that reduce emissions and improve efficiency for our customers,” said Joe Chandler, CEO of ZENRG Services. “The GoVAC® System is a great new tool in our toolbox to meet our customers’ demands—it’s safe, smart, efficient, and ready to scale with our operations.”

Advancing Cleaner Energy For Our Environment
As project efficiency and sustainability becomes imperative to natural gas owners and operators, the GoVAC® System offers the path towards innovation. It’s not just a tool—it’s a transformation in how pipeline evacuation can and should be done.
Onboard Dynamics is proud to see the GoVAC® System in action with ZENRG Services and excited to continue driving innovation that makes a real-world impact.
