Qnergy, the leader in pioneering solutions for the distributed
methane challenge, is proud to announce that it has officially
launched the CAP Pico for all customers. The Compressed Air
Pneumatics (CAP) solution utilizes solar power to replace and
convert methane emissions with low flow, low cost compressed air.
As Qnergy’s smallest air package to date, CAP Pico is perfect for
brownfield retrofit solutions with low air requirements.
Pneumatic devices powered by pressurized natural gas are widely
used in the natural gas industry for process control and chemical
injection. These devices vent methane directly into the environment
threatening the clean fuel advantages of natural gas. Qnergy’s
patent-pending, innovative CAP product line replaces methane
emissions from pneumatic devices with clean, dry air. CAP Pico is
the first of its kind with a solar powered option, ideal for
off-grid well pad operations. CAP systems offer the lowest cost
compliance with minimal operating expenditure, redundant
compressors, and one hour per year maintenance.
With more than 1,600,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent methane abated
since 2020 and more than 2,000 units installed across the U.S.,
Canada, and South America, Qnergy continues to advance its
paramount methane abatement technology, firmly solidifying the
company as a trusted partner in the natural gas industry.
“CAP Pico is designed for customers that need a reliable, low
cost, low flow air pneumatics solution,” said Dr. Ory Zik, Qnergy
CEO. “This product complements our larger compressed air pneumatics
systems that are typically powered by our Stirling Engine
Technology. Our ability to address unique client requirements is
part of our DNA. Today’s announcement comes after a year of beta
testing. It is especially relevant for small operators and
operators that own low producing wells.”
