Catalytic Methane Abatement System (CMAS)
THE PROBLEM:
Methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas, is emitted during oil and gas well production. It has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) over 70 times greater than CO2 over a 20-year period.1,2 When extracted and processed, natural gas can unintentionally leak or be intentionally released, significantly contributing to global warming, climate change, and air quality deterioration.3
THE SOLUTION:
The Catalytic Methane Abatement System (CMAS) by ETTER Engineering (U.S. Patent #10,150,081) utilizes a platinum-based catalyst to convert methane into CO2 and water vapor. These units are designed for outdoor installation, operate indefinitely without on-site electrical power, and are FM-approved for Class I, Division I installations. CMAS is delivered as a complete “Plug & Play” assembly, leading the way in mitigating methane’s impact on our climate.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Surface Casing Vents: These vents contribute substantially to methane emissions. CMAS effectively captures and mitigates gas buildup to prevent leaks.
- Pneumatic Controls: Integration with CMAS turns methane emissions into water vapor and CO², further reducing environmental impact.
- Enhanced Oil Production: CMAS not only reduces emissions but also enhances efficiency in oil production, providing dual benefits for operators.
WATCH: THE CMAS SOLUTION – REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
This technical presentation explores how the Catalytic Methane Abatement System cuts emissions and enhances oil production efficiency, focusing on reducing fugitive methane emissions by up to 85%.
