The Exhaust Gas Recovery System (E.G.R.S.) The E.G.R.S. recovers 99% of the exhausted gas produced by gas operated diaphram pumps. This unit is a compact design and only requires 144 square inches to be installed. No electrician required for install and will connect to most gas separator packages with only a few hours of instrumentation work. For more information and photos of this product please check out our brochure.

The Exhaust Gas Recovery System, is a small compact unit that recovers exhaust gas from natural gas diaphram pumps that are used in methanol injection systems. The recovered gas, can now be used to operate your Catadyne heater or heaters. The loss of natural gas per well is shocking. Please take a moment to review the information provided, you will be amazed how much natural gas your company has lost each month in the traditional use of a methanol injection system.

Help our environment, install an Exhaust Gas Recovery System Today.

What History Has Cost the Company.

Over the past years, gas operated pumps which are used in methanol injection systems have vented the exhaust gas to atmosphere. This venting process not only has cost your company thousands of dollars per month in unsold gas, but has also been an environmental problem as well as a possible safety hazard to the employees of your company. In the past, if the exhaust vent became plugged with snow, ice or even restricted, the methanol pump would change stroke speed or even stop. This would cause a possible hydrate in your flow or sales line and cause a loss of production. Not only is your company loosing gas sales because of the exhausted gas, but the catadyne heater is also consuming gas which has cost your company even more money.

How much Money?6 Month consumption cost of $ 967.68 per well to operate a pump at 6 strokes/min and a 12”by 24” catadyne.

Cost of gas to operate 10 wells for 6 months: $ 9676.80
Cost of gas to operate 30 wells for 6 months: $29030.40
Cost of gas to operate 50 wells for 6 months: $48384.00

Now that we understand the history and the cost to operate a pump and heater, we can look into the future. The future will include the use of an Exhaust Gas Recovery System.

What is the Exhaust Gas Recovery System

The EGRS is a gathering system that will connect to the exhaust port of most methanol pumps. It gathers all the exhaust gas that would have been vented to atmosphere in the past, and now makes it the fuel gas supply for the catadyne heater. The EGRS is a universal unit that can be installed into 99% of existing separator buildings with very little tubing work.

What if the heater has mechanical failure?
No need to worry, if the heater stops operating because of mechanical failure, the EGRS has a remote whisper relief system that will allows just a small amount of gas to vent. This small amount of venting will allow your pump to continue operating until heater repairs are made.

What if pump fails does heater stop?
The EGRS has a built in make-up gas system. If the pump micro switch fails stopping the flow of gas, the make-up system will open and allow the heater to continue operating. The heater will continue to use the make-up gas until repairs to the pump are made. The manifold relief is designed to protect the manifold and all other components from over pressure and will activate if a regulator problem occurs allowing more than 27” WC to heater.

How do we know this system works?
The development of this product has not been easy. There has been one obstacle after another which was overcome with months of bench tests. Then in November 2008, the first units were installed in field application. From that time to present, we are pleased to say there have been no failures and the EGRS is saving the customer money. This system is presently operating on both plunger lift and conventional gas wells. Well volumes range from .25E3M3/day to 5E3M3/day and the methanol injection rate ranges from 1L/day to 8L/day with proper sizing of injection pump plunger. The EGRS is useable on both high and low gas consumption pumps.

What are we saving by installing the EGRS?
As the company you are saving in two areas. The gas that was exhausted in the past is now being used for fuel gas. This now allows the gas that has been used as fuel for the heater to be sold. Your low producing wells will have an increase of 0.3258 E3M3 of sales gas per month. The second savings is the recovered gas converted into the Governments GHG credits. The sum of these two savings would calculate to $ 864.18 per well per 6 month period. Or $ 25,925.40 for 30 wells per 6 month period. With your company now reducing emissions, you are now opening the door to the Green Investor. The value of this is priceless.

Cost of the Exhaust Gas Recovery System:
Please consult distributor for pricing information Estimated install time 2 hours per well. As each separator package is different your install company will require 3/8” stainless tubing and fittings to connect the unit to existing equipment.

40 Well Projects:(Estimated Cost Only )
Loss before EGRS: $ 38707.20 in wasted gas / 6 months
Capital Cost for EGRS: $ 17,805.20 (Estimated Capital Cost )
EGRS 6 month savings: $ 34567.20
On a $ 17,805.20 one year capital investment, your company now saved $ 69,134.40 in 12 months of pump operation.
The estimated gas savings on a 40 well project, 13E3M3 per month for 6 months.
With the present economy and natural gas prices, can you afford not to use the Exhaust Gas Recovery System?
