Pipeline Blowdowns

What Is a Pipeline Blowdown?

Pipeline blowdown is the process of evacuating natural gas and other fuels from a pipeline so that maintenance and repairs can be performed safely. These evacuated gases are often vented into the atmosphere, though increased environmental and safety regulations are driving operators to either combust or recapture these gases to reduce emissions while maintaining safety for pipeline workers. 

How Does Zeeco Limit Emissions From Pipeline Blowdowns?

Zeeco offers open and enclosed rental flares as well as mobile recompression units to safely destroy or recapture waste gases during a pipeline blowdown. Zeeco's full line of rental flares are capable of handling both high and low flow rates to ensure safe and efficient combustion of waste gases. Zeeco's recompression units are designed to capture waste gases of various pressures and reduce them to as low as 5 psig for safe recovery. Zeeco also offers noise/radiation level surveys and analysis to reduce disturbances for neighboring communities.
