Compressor Stations

Compressor stations play a critical role in maintaining the flow of natural gas throughout transmission and gathering networks. A typical natural gas compressor station contains numerous potential methane emission sources, including compressors, seals, valves, vents, and associated process equipment. As equipment ages or operating conditions change, methane releases can occur unexpectedly and may go unnoticed between routine inspections.

Undetected emissions at compressor stations can contribute to product loss, increased operating costs, environmental impact, and regulatory risk. Emissions monitoring helps operators identify leaks sooner, respond more effectively to abnormal conditions, and maintain safe, reliable, and efficient facility operations. By providing visibility into gas compressor station performance, operators can improve maintenance prioritization, strengthen operational reliability, and reduce methane emissions across critical natural gas infrastructure.
