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 potential 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 exactly 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 methane, VOC’s, and other 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 ejectors have been used to simultaneously reduce explosion risk and capture waste gas.
Fox Venturi Ejectors for
- Natural Gas/Methane/VOC Capture, Compression, or discharge to Flare
- Vapor Recovery – Replacement of Mechanical VRU’s with no-moving-part venturi ejectors
- Recovery of methane leaks from tanks, glycol dehydrators, flowback, well sites, centralized production facilities, and compressor stations
Fox venturi ejectors have been installed in global applications to provide no maintenance, no moving parts Vapor Recovery and capture since the 1970’s:
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”
