MaCH4 Solution Demonstrates Field-Proven Performance at Iron Horse Midstream
Coldstream Energy, LLC (“Coldstream”), an innovator in natural gas processing technology for maximizing profits and reducing emissions at compressor stations, today announced the launch of its MaCH4 NGL Recovery Solution (“MaCH4”).
The MaCH4 has undergone a rigorous pilot project with Iron Horse Midstream, fueling a compressor station located in Grady County, OK, with lean gas since December 2023. The MaCH4 has posted more than 99 percent mechanical availability since its commission, been remotely monitored and operated since May 2024, and will be converted into a permanent installation in the first quarter of 2025.
Based on a field gas BTU value of approximately 1,305 BTU/scf at the pilot site, the total annual NGL value recovered would be greater than $1.2MM for a 7,500 HP compressor station.
“At Iron Horse, we work tirelessly at improving operational efficiencies and overall system performance,” said T. D. Baskin, Chief Operating Officer at Iron Horse Midstream. “The MaCH4 system is effective at recovering heavy hydrocarbons, resulting in a steady supply of lean fuel gas to compression. The benefits are reduced emissions, greater engine efficiencies, and increased system throughput. With the MaCH4 solution, we can further reduce our VOC emissions and maintain levels below stringent operating permit thresholds.”
