Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (Thermon)has announced the introduction of the Thermon EnviroDyne™ Methane Destruction Unit, which converts harmful methane gas emissions to water vapor and carbon dioxide without using a flame. This new technology is the latest development in Thermon’s drive to provide sustainable solutions to dramatically reduce its customers’ global emissions footprint.
Developed in response to customers looking for a way to effectively reduce fugitive emissions released while venting natural gas, the Thermon EnviroDyne™ Methane Destruction Unit is poised to play a critical role in reducing harmful greenhouse gases and managing climate change responsibly.
The long-term impact of the Thermon EnviroDyne™ is far-reaching with its ability to convert vented emissions released by pneumatic devices and other sources at a rate of 90% or higher. As a result, the Thermon EnviroDyne™ Methane Destruction Unit will be welcome news to the many industries that use chemical injection pumps, control valves, compressor seals, and other emissions venting applications as necessary components of their operations
Safety is also a key benefit. Because it operates without employing a flame, it operates safely in otherwise extremely hazardous locations where using a flame poses a serious risk of explosion.
This flameless technology consists of just two modules: a converter module and a gas train module that feature no moving parts. Following initial start-up via electric power, it operates continuously when supplied with air and clean fuel. The system is highly reliable, featuring a patent-pending proprietary explosion-proof catalyst pad. Because the converter module consists of 300 series stainless-steel components, it is resistant to corrosion.
