Today, at the Methane Mitigation Technology & Innovation Summit, SCS Technologies (SCS), a prominent provider of CO2 measurement systems, methane vapor recovery units (VRUs), and petroleum LACT units, has unveiled its latest innovation: a new series of pre-engineered vapor recovery units. These units are designed to be highly configurable, catering to specific customer requirements at a cost-effective price point. SCS Technologies, serving as an event sponsor, will showcase these new VRUs at booth #32. Cody Johnson, CEO of SCS Technologies, will also feature prominently as a speaker during the “Cost-Effective Solutions for Mitigation” session at 1:50 p.m. on June 12, 2024.
Cody Johnson emphasized the urgency of meeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) stringent Quad O standards, which aim to significantly curb methane emissions and other air pollutants from oil and natural gas operations. He stressed the impending deadlines for compliance and highlighted the new pre-engineered VRUs as a strategic solution to help industry players swiftly meet EPA mandates while minimizing costs. Johnson shared, “Our latest VRU line is designed to expedite acquisition and configuration processes with essential components, offering a substantial cost advantage over fully customized options. I look forward to sharing our decade-long expertise in mitigation strategies with stakeholders responsible for fugitive gas recovery and EPA compliance.”
Initially targeting new oil and natural gas sources, the EPA’s Quad O regulations now encompass requirements for modified, constructed, or reconstructed sources, with rigorous standards applicable to existing facilities. This regulatory update affects over a million operational oil and natural gas wells, 2,000 gas compressor stations, and more than 500 natural gas processing plants.
Key features and benefits of SCS Technologies’ new Pre-Engineered VRUs include:
- Optimized Equipment Design: Enhanced functionality compared to standard VRUs.
- Rapid Deployment: Tailored solutions delivered promptly to meet specific operational needs.
- Cost Efficiency: Avoids early upsizing expenses by ensuring appropriately sized equipment from the outset.
- User-Friendly Design: Simplifies maintenance, reduces downtime, and enhances operational safety.
- Warranty Coverage: Backed by robust warranty support, ensuring reliability and quality assurance.
SCS Technologies’ innovative approach with these VRUs underscores its commitment to facilitating compliance with EPA regulations while enhancing operational efficiency and environmental stewardship in the oil and gas sector.
