Methane Mitigation Technology to Achieve Emission Reduction Goals.
About ZEVAC
ZEVAC is a product and technology company. We are the industry pioneer in gas and liquid recovery technology and the recognized leader in methane mitigation applications. The reliability of our proven and patented equipment makes us the most trusted product provider for the operators that fuel our world and the service contractors supporting them.
Description of Services
ZEVAC is a product and technology company named after our pioneering and patented Zero Emission Vacuum and Compressor units. "ZEVAC®" is an OEM line of portable gas and liquid cross-compression equipment easily integrated into operations and maintenance plans as a safe, reliable, and scalable alternative to natural gas venting and NGL flaring.
Recognized as the industry's most versatile gas/liquid capture and recovery technology, ZEVAC equipment's wide range of applications helps the operators that fuel our world and the service contractors supporting them overcome the risk, cost, and compliance challenges of their responsible operating requirements.
What we do
Simple to Scale
ZEVAC equipment is easy to use, quiet, compact, and portable. Integrating ZEVAC into routine maintenance activities is a simple way to address the high-frequency, low-magnitude venting and emissions escape happening every day.
Quick to Implement
ZEVAC sells and rents equipment to operators and members of our ZEVAC Service Contractor Network (ZSN), allowing zero emissions standards to become part of every company’s operations and maintenance plans and contract requirements–creating a quick and achievable path to compliance goals.
100% Gas to Liquid
ZEVAC equipment is better than traditional cross-compression because it can capture and recover 100% clean and dry natural gas and any mixture up to 100% liquid content! ZEVAC is not only safer and more reliable, but also more versatile due to the wide range of user-friendly applications this capability creates.
Built-In Safety
Separate and isolated gas and air systems, with a double block and bleed seal mechanism, prevent any chance of mixture, and there is zero chance of catastrophic failure due to liquids ingestion with ZEVAC. Other safety features include multiple forms of overpressure protection, auto discharge pressure balance, and high- and low-pressure auto shut-offs. These features make ZEVAC the safest cross-compression solution available.
100% Pneumatic
ZEVAC equipment is 100% mechanical and pneumatically-driven – any compressed air source can power the ZEVAC. The more air it receives, the more quickly the job is completed. ZEVAC can also be used in series for even faster results. Using air as power allows ZEVAC to be 100% free of onboard electronics, making it Class 1, Div.1 compliant, and also allowing it to achieve zero psig and even pull a vacuum for situations like commissioning new pipelines.
Backed by Training
Because ZEVAC knows pipeline operators are regulated under the requirements of 49 CFR Parts 192 (Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline) and 195 (Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline), we created an OEM Certified Training Program (CTP) and Operator Qualification (OQ) guidelines focused on teaching the specific knowledge, skill, and ability needed to operate and maintain a ZEVAC unit in a compliant and safe manner.

How It Works
ZEVAC moves gas/liquids through cross-compression, from one pressurized system to another, through a set of intake and discharge hose connections. Trapped gas/liquids or contents, which would normally be vented or escape during repairs, are drawn into the ZEVAC and transferred into a nearby operational piping system or containment, resulting in zero emissions escaping into the atmosphere.
The ZEVAC is powered pneumatically by connecting a compressed air source (generally an air compressor) to its air intake location. Any compressed air source can power the ZEVAC; the more air it receives, the faster the job gets done.
The ZEVAC is a positive displacement linear compressor. This means there is no spinning crankshaft or rotating drivetrain, which affords the ZEVAC equipment unique functionality and advantages, such as the capability to capture and recover product contents from 100% dry gas; to any percentage of wet gas mixtures; and even up to 100% liquid service.
