Future-proofing gas engines with SlipPure™ technology

SlipPure™ utilises electric power to convert methane to carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). The system consists of a housing, a cartridge and a power supply. The cartridge is fully removable to facilitate periodic maintenance. The exhaust gas passes through several tubes in the cartridge, and the power supply triggers non-thermal plasma generation within the tubes. The non-thermal plasma reaction creates reactive species that react with the methane molecules in the gas and convert them to water and carbon dioxide (in a harmless concentration). 

SlipPure™ only uses electricity during the process, and an intelligent automation system adjusts the cleaning efficiency to ensure the system runs at an ideal load. 

Why is post-combustion methane slip (CH₄) reduction necessary?

In the past two years, GHG emissions, especially methane emissions, have been subjected to increased scrutiny due to their high global warming potential (GWP) and fast-increasing levels. 

The increased reliance on natural gas as a fuel for internal combustion engines makes the problem particularly acute. The problem is related to methane slip, unburned fuel not fully combusted in engines, with a global warming potential (GWP100) 28 times that of CO₂. Hence, measuring and reducing methane slip is a climate priority in many industries today.

SlipPure™ solution and key features:

• The system includes hardware and software for removing and measuring methane slip.
• The WPP™ power supply converts electrical energy to chemical energy.
• Methane slip reduction drivers include regulatory compliance, financial penalty mitigation, and monetisation opportunities (voluntary carbon offsets).
• Value proposition example: Lowering GHG emissions from gas compression engines to help mitigate tax penalties (U.S. Inflation Reduction Act 2022).
