An Emissions Solution On Two-Stroke Lean-Burn Engine



PIPELINE AND GAS JOURNAL
 
The internal combustion engine (ICE), fueled by natural gas has moved in the direction of efficiency and environmental friendliness with lean-burn technology.  Cameron's AJAX LE uses CleanBurn prechamber type of combustion that allows for operation with very stable combustion at lean air fuel mixtures.  The lean air fuel mixture reduces the formation of NOx.  The lean mixture also provides a more complete combustion process resulting in reduced CO and hydrocarbon levels in the exhaust.  [more]

Environmentally-Responsible Compressor Package Now Available


Environmentally-Responsible Compressor Package Now Available; Tri-Star Compression, Texas Power Offer Efficient Package to Gas Industry

Arlington, TX—Tristar Compression LP and Texas Power are now packaging a state-of-the-art Ajax compressor unit with electric power and services to provide natural gas companies a one stop option that is environmentally-responsible.

Recognizing the growing need for electric compression, company officials through this unique collaboration are addressing emissions and noise concerns of residents in the highly-populated areas of the Barnett Shale. Compression is used to boost wellhead flowing pressure to pipeline intake pressure.

“The current EPA air regulatory issues could completely dismantle the practice of using gas-operated compressors in the ozone non-attainment regions of states like Texas,” said Jim Simmons, Texas Power’s director of commercial sales. “Our collaboration over the past several months determined that it would be up to vendors like us to support gas producers by giving them workable options in communities where people are complaining about their presence.”

This option assists companies in their ability to streamline operations and increase efficiency. The union allows interested companies to obtain a high quality Cameron AJAX C-202 compressor, and at the same time, receive complete service provided by Tristar Compression and Texas Power.

Among the most attractive attributes of the new unit is that it is no longer relies on burning natural gas, but rather an electric motor. The electric motor still offers plenty of power, as it comes with either a 250 or a 600 hp motor, depending on the crankshaft and bearing selection. The switch to an electric motor also lends itself to a quieter production. “It’s so quiet you can carry on a conversation standing right next to it and never have to raise your voice,” said Simmons.

“Even with all the upgrades you’ll see, the best part is there are only four new parts in the entire compressor,” said Russ Holzhausen, Project Manager AJAX New Products, Cameron’s Compression Systems group. By maintaining the existing design, Cameron was able to rely on the quality features of the existing design while minimizing the amount of new parts needed on the C-202.

“We figure why tinker too much with a good thing,” Holzhausen said. “This allows great synergy between the gas and electric AJAX product lines as most other parts in both are compatible.”
