1GEN - Ultra-Reliable Thermo-Acoustic Off-Grid Power
Methane Abatement by Wellsite Electrification
ULTRA-HIGH-RELIABILITY
fewer moving parts (no oil changes)
LOWEST CAPEX & OPEX
at mid-volume manufacturing
200W - 5,000W MARKET GAP
optimum size for wellsite electrification
The 1GEN, is a new form of ultra-reliable power generator based on thermo-acoustic physics. It produces 0 - 2,400W of electrical power from field gas, natural gas, or propane, with ultra-low maintenance (no sliding or rotating parts).
The 1GEN helps equip remote off-grid well sites with ultra-reliable cost-effective power generation to eliminate pneumatic fuel gas emissions by powering air compressors and/or electric control.
We help our customers reach compliance with methane emission reduction regulations in the most environmentally challenging conditions.
