Executive Summary
PTAC worked with Alberta Environment and Parks to collaborate on the formation of consortia with industry to reduce emissions of methane and promote innovation in reduction mechanisms within the Alberta oil and gas sector. As part of this program, Ember Resources worked with Ironline Compression to modernize a Waukesha Engine. This consisted of an upgrade/ conversion of a Waukesha 7042GL (Series 2) to the latest technology available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), the Waukesha Series 5.
The Waukesha Series 5 consists of redesigned engine components, control systems, and catalyst technology designed to achieve substantial GHG reductions. The application of this technology reduces the carbon footprint, increase reliability, and lowers operating and maintenance costs by increasing the maintenance interval and the equipment life cycle.
