ZEVAC Mini

Small Footprint, Serious Performance

Portable emissions reduction and recompression technology built for flexible, on-demand deployment

Who says big things don’t come in small packages? The ZEVAC MINI delivers full-scale gas and liquid recovery performance in a compact footprint. It’s small enough to be built directly into service vehicles and powered by onboard air, or easily positioned in the bed of a pickup truck, so your crews can bring methane mitigation and recompression capability to every job site without adding another trailer, power source, or complication.

Available in both low-pressure and high-pressure configurations, the ZEVAC MINI can be matched to your specific operating envelope, budget, and deployment strategy. Both versions are fully gas and liquid capable, giving your crews a compact tool that can safely handle everything from light gas recovery to liquid-heavy applications. Like all ZEVAC equipment, the MINI is engineered to maximize safety, minimize emissions, and reduce organizational risk.

Meet Compliance
Cross compression keeps gas from entering the atmosphere, maintaining compliance with emission regulations.
Reduce Risk
By keeping gas in the pipes, risks related to venting and flaring are completely eliminated.
Easy Integration
ZEVAC equipment easily connects to gas lines and pipes, allowing for quick setup and operation.
No Electricity Required
Driven by compressed air, ZEVAC equipment requires no electricity to operate.

Customer Success Story:

Southern Company

By utilizing the ZEVAC Mini, Southern Company subsidiary Nicor Gas is able to recapture gas that would otherwise have been vented during routine service work. Cross compression helps Nicor save product, improve safety, and work toward their net zero goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mini commonly use for?

The Mini is most commonly used for distribution pipelines, from 2-6 inches. It can also be used to drawdown traps for ILI inspection projects. It will operate on gas and any Y-grade liquid, butane, propane, NGL. As well as a mixture of both gas and liquid.

What air supply does the Mini use?
Both the Low Pressure (LP) and Hight Pressure (HP) configurations of the ZEVAC Mini can operate using a 90 CFM air compressor or a truck's PTO compressor.
How can I transport a ZEVAC Mini?
The ZEVAC Mini is the most versatile and mobile unit in ZEVAC's equipment lineup, easily fitting in the bed of a truck or SUV. Fitted with wheels and weighing 185 lbs, the LP Mini can be lifted by two people and moved around a jobsite by one.
How far can the Mini draw down to?
Like all ZEVAC equipment, the ZEVAC Mini can draw down pipelines to 0 psi. This removes any and all product, both liquids and gases, from the pipeline.
What is cross compression?
Cross compression is the process of vacuuming natural gas out of a pipeline section that needs to be depressurized and recompressing it back into another section of the system, keeping product in the pipe instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. ZEVAC's patented, portable cross-compression equipment is the only proven solution on the market capable of handling everything from 100% dry gas to 100% liquid contents, making it the industry's most versatile gas and liquid capture and recovery technology.
Why use a ZEVAC?
 

Here's what ZEVAC cross compression delivers:

  • Regulatory compliance — Supports OOOOb/c and EPA methane mitigation requirements, helping you stay ahead of evolving regulations.

  • Enhanced crew safety — Keeps product inside the pipeline, significantly reducing ignition risk and exposure hazards for your team and surrounding community.

  • Zero product loss — Recovered gas stays in your system, eliminating waste and protecting revenue.

  • Environmental stewardship — Eliminates routine venting and flaring, reducing methane emissions and advancing your ESG and net-zero goals.

 
Can ZEVAC handle liquids?
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. 
How can I get a ZEVAC?
ZEVAC equipment is available in a variety of options, including rent; purchase; and a lease-to-own program.
