Challenge

A natural gas transmission customer in the Northeast U.S. required immediate intervention to address a leak on a 52-inch natural gas pipeline. The urgency stemmed from the potential for environmental impacts, natural gas loss, and regulatory non-compliance. Without a swift and emissions-free response, the incident could have resulted in substantial financial loss and air quality violations.

Solution

Envent Corporation responded within 24 hours with one of its newest Natural Gas Cross Compression Units, a three-stage mobile compression system engineered for zero emission pipeline services. Envent’s team successfully:

• Drew pipeline pressure down to 15 PSIG in under 14 hours

• Redirected and compressed natural gas from the impacted pipeline segment to a parallel pipeline, eliminating the need for flaring or venting

• Completed the project using mobile compression services with no atmospheric emissions, meeting all local, state, and federal environmental standards

This operation leveraged Envent’s expertise in pipeline degassing, gas recovery services, and mobile gas recompression technologies.

Benefit

Envent’s natural gas cross compression services prevented the release of harmful greenhouse gases, achieving zero emissions during the emergency response. This not only safeguarded valuable gas resources, but also minimized downtime and environmental risk.

Our ability to mobilize nationwide within hours, supported by established offices throughout North America, ensures we can respond to critical pipeline events rapidly. With the largest and most efficient mobile gas recompression units on the market, Envent continues to lead the industry in pipeline evacuation services, natural gas compression, and flareless pipeline maintenance—providing safe, compliant, and cost-effective solutions under pressure.
