Prevent Methane Releases During Natural Gas Pipeline Evacuations
The GoVAC® FLEX system gives operators a safe method for removing gas from pipelines while minimizing exposure to venting or flaring. By keeping gas contained throughout the process, it supports safer working conditions and reduces the risk of unintentional methane releases.
Our patented, portable compressor offers a practical, field‑ready solution for responsible natural gas handling and helps companies meet their safety and environmental objectives.
No External Power is Required
No diesel, electricity, or any other fuel source required in its operation. The system runs on the natural gas it is evacuating from the pipeline.
Compact in Size
Small enough to be towed by a pickup. The self-contained, integrated system is easy to maneuver around a job site and requires no extra equipment.
Flexible Inlet/ Outlet Pressures
The GoVAC® FLEX System can draw a pipeline from 1250 psig (higher pressures optional) to near 0 psig and transfer into an adjoining pipeline or a tube trailer at pressures up to 3600 psig.
Hazardous Area Compliant
The GoVAC® FLEX System can operate near pipelines without the need for external diesel generators or air compressors.
Environmental Reporting
The intuitive control system provides operators with accurate environmental reports and operational metrics.
Remote Monitoring
The GoVAC® FLEX System is equipped with cellular telematics which allows for remote operations monitoring and two-way communications.
Flexibilty for your applications
The GoVAC® FLEX System provides a controlled and dependable way to capture and transfer natural gas during pipeline evacuation projects. It also supports natural gas vehicle refueling, station backup, and tube‑trailer filling—delivering consistent safety and containment across all applications.
Examples of specific applications include:
- Main pipeline replacement projects
- Commissioning/decommissioning pipelines
- General repairs/maintenance (residential or remote areas)
- Pipeline inspection and integrity management
- Natural gas storage facilities
- Pressurizing new pipe
- Compressor station repair and maintenance
- Pigging operations
- Unplanned rapid response
Other Use Cases
- Compression for RNG/CNG production, transport or refueling
- Vessel-to-vessel transfer of RNG/CNG
- Vessel-to-vehicle refueling of RNG/CNG

Our patented, portable, natural gas compressor offers a safe and practical solution that prevents methane
emissions in achieving your company’s environmental goals.
Automation and Secure Data Management
One of the more notable features of our natural gas capture and recovery technology is our fully automated control system that is based on state-of-the-art telemetry and instrumentation including temperature and pressure sensors, electronic valves, and flow meters that measure how much natural gas is being captured and recovered during a pipeline evacuation project. Not only does this provide for accurate environmental reporting , but it enables the ability for remote monitoring of the system during live projects and also provides operational performance metrics for future planning purposes and safety monitoring.

Lower Emissions Footprint
The GoVAC® FLEX System is powered by a portion of the natural gas being evacuated. Total methane captured in terms of CO2e is greater than 99%.
The GoVAC® FLEX System eliminates the need to vent or flare in these segments of the natural gas value chain:
- Midstream pipelines
- Transmission compressor stations
- Transmission pipelines
- Distribution pipelines
