Dear intheface,

Thank you for your inquiry. The patented EcoMax Chemical Pump represents a significant change for natural gas producers, making them more efficient, increasing their revenues, lowering their operating costs, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and consequently the environmental damage caused by traditional chemical injection methods.

 

Natural gas producers use chemical pumps to inject methanol into the wellhead to prevent hydrates from forming. Once formed, these hydrates can plug or 'freeze' wells and pipelines and significantly affect production operations and lower productivity. Moreover, traditional pumps are inefficient both economically and environmentally.

 

The EcoMax Pump is driven by a low differential pressure that is typically available and uses gas from the wellhead or other sources, which is then returned to the sales/flow line or other gas gathering system.  This system allows operators to sell gas that would have otherwise been emitted to the atmosphere, eliminates the need for propane or fuel gas at sour gas facilities and may accumulate Kyoto Accord-related carbon credits for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions.

 

The multiple benefits of the EcoMax Pump include zero emissions, increased production, reduced operating costs, improved safety, and low maintenance.
