ECI Delivers Sustainable, Portable Pipeline Evacuation System

April 29, 2024
ECI, the region’s process control and industrial automation leader, has been named the channel partner for Onboard Dynamics’ GoVAC® Systems in western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
 
The GoVAC FLEX and GoVAC MAX Systems give natural gas operators the ability to perform natural gas capture and recovery during pipeline maintenance. Onboard Dynamics' patented, portable natural gas compressor offers a safe and practical solution that prevents methane emissions.
 
The GoVAC self-contained pipeline evacuation system requires no external power and is  equipped with cellular telematics providing remote operation monitoring. The built-in intuitive control can offer environmental reports and operational metrics. With flexible inlet and outlet pressures, the GoVAC FLEX system can draw a pipeline from 1,250 psig to near 0 psig and transfer to an adjoining pipeline or tube trailer at pressures up to 3,600 psig.
 
“Operators need innovative pipeline maintenance solutions that address their need for flexibility and mobility,” said Jim Neville, VP of Oil & Gas, ECI. “The GoVAC System offers a unique self-contained evacuation and recompression solution that helps operators meet their sustainability and decarbonization goals. ECI delivers impactful solutions that help natural gas industry leaders achieve operational excellence. The addition of the GoVAC System to our portfolio enables us to deliver an even more robust solution and service offering to our customers.”

 As the Onboard Dynamics channel partner, ECI offers the GoVAC FLEX and GoVAC MAX Systems for sale or lease.
