TPE Midstream, LLC (TPE), an industry leader in zero-emission pipeline evacuation and integrity solutions, has announced the strategic sale of its equipment rental assets, referred to as Brown Iron, to N-SPEC Pipeline Services, a division of Coastal Chemical Co. LLC, Brenntag North America.
This sale includes ILI launchers and receivers, separators, and high-pressure temporary piping, expanding N-SPEC’s equipment capabilities for supporting pipeline cleaning In-Line Inspection (ILI) tool runs and integrity-focused operations.
For TPE, this divestiture represents a step forward in its mission to eliminate pipeline venting and flaring. By narrowing its focus exclusively on zero-emission technologies, TPE is reaffirming its commitment to helping the industry transition toward cleaner, more sustainable operations.
“This marks an important milestone for our team and the customers we serve,” said Doug Sahm, CEO of ZEVAC. “By stepping away from traditional rental assets and doubling down on zero-emissions innovation, we’re accelerating our efforts to reshape how the industry approaches pipeline maintenance and integrity.”
TPE and N-SPEC remain aligned in their shared commitment to safer and more sustainable pipeline solutions and look forward to continued collaboration as the industry evolves.
This strategic shift also marks the full transition of TPE’s product and technology portfolio under the ZEVAC brand. Moving forward, all innovations, tools, and services will carry the ZEVAC name, reinforcing the exclusive focus on zero-emission pipeline solutions.
