Marathon Compression completes testing of air-power unit
NGIF Accelerator, the not-for-profit arm of NGIF Capital, said February 22 Marathon Compression’s KL8 Instrument Air-Power Unit (KL8) had been successfully tested and validated at NGIF’s Emissions Testing Centre (ETC).
The KL8 unit is intended to provide compressed air to replace the use of fuel-gas venting equipment. During eight months of testing at the ETC, the test unit generated more than 23,000 m3 of compressed air used to power pneumatic instruments, eliminating 428 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions.
The test unit remains installed in the field, where it is in full-time operation with Tourmaline Oil, a joint owner, with Perpetual Energy, of the West Wolf Lake gas plant, host site of the ETC.
