Product Description

Use proven gas-powered actuation for your pipeline systems without the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The ECAT solution is available as a complete valve operating system (VOS) or as a bolt-on option that can be retrofit in the field.

Features

  • Unique design (US patent 9810248 B2) captures the methane emissions vented to power a gas-over-oil actuator's stroke and re-injects it back into the pipeline, eliminating any emissions being vented due to the actuator's operation
  • Use of familiar, existing technology reduces the need to train operations and maintenance personnel on new equipment
  • Re-injection power pack supports utility electrical power or solar power
  • Can be retrofit to existing hydraulic actuators in the field, so in-service actuators do not need to be replaced
  • Uses readily available pipeline power, or can be operated manually in remote locations where grid or solar power is not available
  • Self-contained system extends maintenance intervals, with a normal service interval of five (5) years
  • Cold tested to -50F (-46C)
