Aggreko plc, the global leader in rental power, heating and
cooling, has been recognized by Texas Oil & Gas Awards with its
award for Excellence in Environmental Stewardship for the company’s
custom Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions control
technology that helps reduce NOx emissions on temporary large-scale
natural gas power plants.
Launched in 2012, the Texas Oil & Gas Awards showcases the
great gains being made by upstream, midstream and downstream
companies in key areas of corporate social responsibility, the
environment, and health and safety. The awards enable companies to
celebrate their achievement and demonstrate their commitment to
these critical industry issues.
“We are gratified to be recognized with this prestigious award
for the work we did for a new cryogenic gas processing facility in
the Permian Basin of West Texas,” said Charles Royce, Managing
Director, North America. “The job called for us to not only meet
state emissions regulations, but also Federal regulations, which
meant we had to reduce NOx emissions by 75%. We are helping our
customers in their transition to new realities of global energy
markets. Globally, the energy sector is going through a major
transition; the challenge today is to find the optimal way to
secure more energy, affordably and sustainably.”
The Award for Excellence in Environmental Stewardship recognizes
efforts, initiatives or technological developments that have
minimized or eliminated their environmental footprint within the
region. Organizations working in the oil and gas sector that can
demonstrate making a positive contribution to the advancement of
environmental considerations are eligible. Award winners must
demonstrate true innovation in tracking environmental impact,
implementation of practices or technology proving environmental
benefit, and must demonstrate clear practical application of the
solution or initiative in the region and long-term environmental
benefits which are also economically sustainable.
Aggreko was awarded for its emissions control technology that
surpassed emissions regulations and successfully reduced the NOx
emissions up to 90% and Hydro-Carbon, CO and particulate emissions
reduction up to 80%, a true first of its kind in the world of
Temporary Rental Power Generation. Aggreko’s engineering team
designed a 2-phase approach. Phase 1 included 26MW of Natural Gas
power generation. Additionally, a custom-built set of SCR
(Selective Catalytic Reduction) units were retrofitted atop the
exhaust stack of each of the 25 natural gas generators in Phase 1.
To ensure the emissions and the overall performance of the system
could be monitored in real-time, Aggreko brought in its overseas
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) colleagues for
additional support. The ability of the cryogenic plant to utilize
its own field gas for fuel also meant that fewer trucks needed to
drive the roads to deliver fuel to the site, further reducing
costs, and also helping to reduce traffic congestion and preserve
the roads. This 26MW temporary power plant with custom-built SCR
units and SCADA is a first of its kind and has set the benchmark
for clean-burning, large-scale power plants moving forward.
