Partners in Sustainability
Kimray’s collaboration with Kathairos offers customers a unique, comprehensive solution that, combined with our easy-to-use pneumatic devices, enables the delivery and scaling of zero-emissions solutions to upstream oil and gas facilities.
Powered by Liquid Nitrogen
Kathairos equipment eliminates methane venting at remote well sites by using nitrogen (an inert, non-polluting gas) to operate pneumatic devices.
Stored at -320°F in a cryogenic vessel, liquid nitrogen wants to return to a gaseous state. Kathairos utilizes this thermodynamic property to actuate pneumatic devices on oil and gas well sites of all sizes, locations and configurations.
As a result, this system replaces the need for methane as instrument gas and the subsequent venting of the highly-potent greenhouse gas during route well site operation.
Scalable and Reliable Fuel-Switching
Complies with EPA Standards
Because nitrogen is an inert gas, it can be used to power pneumatic valves and controllers while releasing zero methane emissions.
No Maintenance, No Power
Powered by thermodynamics, the nitrogen tanks have no moving parts and require no maintenance or external energy sources.
Empirical Emissions Data
Kathairos monitors all consumption data 24/7 and provides a monthly report on the system’s usage, costs, abatement, and economics.
Supporting the Industry's Methane Challenge
Ensuring our customers can continue using the pneumatic control systems they know and trust while powering them with clean nitrogen gas brings the industry immensely closer to meeting the methane challenge at hand.
Simple Process, Simple Solution
There is virtually zero complexity to the Kathairos solution, with no moving parts on or in the tank and no operator involvement required. The system works flawlessly regardless of region and weather conditions and requires no outside power to operate.
Kathairos’ all-in service offering includes delivered liquid nitrogen to the well site, 24/7 tank monitoring, management and refilling, ongoing system optimization analysis, consumption data and abated emissions reporting, and optional carbon credit management, verification and serialization.
Kathairos in the Field
Rapid Deployment and System Scalability
An E&P operator in the Rockies with a large number of existing assets operating on wellhead gas for their pneumatic devices was facing a significant potential fee from new regulations.
Nitrogen Backup to Instrument Air
A major US E&P operator in the Haynesville Shale in western Louisiana had new compressor packages that were critical to keep reliably flowing.
Innovative Yet Simple Solution
An innovative yet simple solution to completely eliminate methane emissions on pneumatic controllers and significantly reduce maintenance of that process.
