Capturing Methane, CO2, and VOC’s with Fox Venturi Ejectors
Mitigating climate change means reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The main component of natural gas, methane, currently accounts for around one-fifth of man-made global greenhouse gas emissions. Well sites, centralized production facilities, and compressor stations all are sources of methane release via leaks and fugitive emissions. New regulations from the EPA (Nov 2023) will enable advanced methane detection systems to identify these fugitive methane releases. These leaks can be captured, with no moving parts, seals, or motors – using Fox venturi ejectors – which have been installed in these types of applications since the 1980’s. Please request Fox case studies describing these installations.
Fox venturi ejectors can be part of your company’s decarbonization pathway by cutting greenhouse gas releases.
Transferring and pumping LNG into and out of ships, railcars, tankers, and storage vessels all create the opportunity for methane release from headspace venting, leaky connections, fittings, etc.
Fox Venturi Ejectors for
- Methane Capture/ Greenhouse Gas Mitigation of NatGas and VOC leaks and fugitive releases
- Vapor Recovery – Replacement of Mechanical VRU’s with no-moving-part venturi ejectors
- Capture of methane leaks glycol dehydrators, flowback
- Evacuation/capture of headspace venting during filling and unloading of LNG ships, tanks, railcars
- Eliminate/reduce gas flaring by compression and discharge of captured methane to sales pipelines
- Greenhouse gas mitigation – Capture of Carbon Dioxide, VOCs
Collecting/Manifolding/Piping Hydrocarbon or Fugitive Methane Releases from Multiple Sources
Fox natural gas venturi ejectors are often installed on gas-capture manifolds that collect vapors from multiple sources, such as actuators, glycol dehydrators, etc.
Replacing Explosion Proof Exhaust Blowers
Hydrocarbon storage tanks are often supplied with expensive X-proof motor exhaust blowers. Fox air or nat-gas-driven ejectors can replace these with a no-moving parts, no maintenance solution.
Skid-Mounted Systems with Controls
Fox ejectors can be skid-mounted with specified valves, instrumentation and controls.
Vapor Recovery Ejectors Have Been around since the 1950’s
Upon request, we will be happy to forward the 1954 article from ‘Petroleum Refiner’ Magazine dated Jan, 1954 “Gas Jet Compressors – with photographs of Jet Compressor installed on gas wells …near Kingsville, Texas”
