Cross Compression
Cross compression, also known as cross-compressing gas, is a crucial technique in the natural gas industry aimed at reducing methane emissions during pipeline evacuations. Instead of venting or flaring the gas, the GoVAC® MAX System is employed to evacuate natural gas from a depressurized section of the pipeline and recycle it into another section, ensuring no gas is released into the atmosphere.
Benefits of Cross Compression
- Environmental Impact Reduction: By transferring natural gas, cross compression significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions on your pipeline evacuation projects.
- Efficiency Improvement: Our technology allows for consistent recovery and transfer of gas, regardless of pressure differences, allowing for precise project planning.
- Build Community Trust: Cross compression helps companies achieve their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets. Accurately recorded and measured data provides proof of adherence to local environmental initiatives.
Why Choose the GoVAC® MAX System for Cross Compression?
The GoVAC® System offers natural gas operations a competitive advantage by enhancing sustainability and operational efficiency. It aligns with industry best practices and demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship.
The GoVAC® MAX System stands out because it requires only a small amount of the evacuated gas as a fuel source. Unlike other systems that may need additional equipment, such as an air compressor powered by diesel, the GoVAC® MAX System avoids counterproductive increases in greenhouse gas emissions. Reduced jobsite footprint and logistics with simple connections foster efficient jobsite success.
Additionally, by eliminating the need for venting or flaring, the GoVAC® MAX System minimizes noise and air pollution, leading to healthier and safer communities.
