• Typical Maintenance cost of $0.016 kWhTypical Maintenance cost of $0.016 kWh
• Average of 6 Hours of Planned Maintenance Average of 6 Hours of Planned Maintenance per yearper year

• Use power for applications• Prime site power• Black start power• Back-up power• Peaking• Supplemental power
• Reduce utility costs
• Generate power from fuel sources such as• Casing gas from oil production• Condensate gas from liquid processing• Gas too rich or too lean to meet pipeline standards• Sour gas with H2S – up to 7%
• Low Installed Cost• Short Commissioning Period • Easy Interconnects to Local Grid
or Bus• Very Low Maintenance• Ease of Operations• No Lubricants or Coolants• Small Footprint, Light Weight• < 65dBA Acoustic Emissions• Ultra-low NOx emissions with no
Cathodic Protection• Solution – Single C30 installed along pipeline as required• Benefits
• Minimal maintenance requiring site visits only once each 6 months• Remote monitoring and diagnostics to verify operational quality• Extremely low emissions for installation in national forest
Primary Power for Remote SiteExample Installation by Pumps & Service• Client: Major US Production Company• Project: Primary Power for Salt Water Disposal• Requirements: Needs reliable, cost-effective power in
remote location• Alternative Solutions
• Grid Power – Not available• Re-Power – Eventually same problems with high maintenance
cost, high emissions, and excessive down time.• Reciprocating generators – Same as re-power
Primary Power for Oil PipelineExample Installation by Pumps & Service• Client: Large US Oil Pipeline• Project: Transfer pumps for a major Oil Pipeline in
Remote Location• Requirements: Reliable Power because of extremely
high cost for down time as well as being on a very remote location
• Alternative Solutions • Grid Power – Not available• Reciprocating Generators – regular maintenance schedules,
unplanned down time (low oil, high engine temp..) and reliability.
