Frequently Asked Questions

How does ZEVAC work?

ZEVAC moves gas/liquids through cross-compression, from one pressurized system to another, through a set of intake and discharge hose connections. Trapped gas/liquids or contents, which would normally be vented or escape during repairs, are drawn into the ZEVAC and transferred into a nearby operational piping system or containment, resulting in zero emissions escaping into the atmosphere. 

What powers the ZEVAC?

The ZEVAC is powered pneumatically by connecting a compressed air source (generally an air compressor) to its air intake location. Any compressed air source can power the ZEVAC; the more air it receives, the faster the job gets done. 

Can ZEVAC handle liquids?
The 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.
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.

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
What are the safety features?

ZEVAC safety features includes:

  • Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)
  • Over-Pressure Cut Off (OPCO)
  • Under-Pressure Cut Off (UPCO)
  • Bleed cavity vent between air and gas systems
  • Manual gauge monitoring

These redundancies protect both personnel and pipeline integrity.
