Westgen’s EPOD (Engineered Power on Demand) is a clean energy technology solution that has become a standard on North American oil & gas production sites. The technology reduces up to 99.5% of emissions from methane gas emitting pneumatic devices, while decreasing operating costs and improving overall site reliability. The EPODs standardized design offers a scalable solution to meet a variety of site demands. Westgen’s full solution service model means customers reap the benefits of in-house expertise in power generation, facilities engineering, scalable product design, and carbon policy.
EPODs are reliably generating power and reducing methane emissions in the harshest climates all over North America, from -45°C (-49°F) to 45°C (113°F). Our solutions are giving energy producers the tools to participate in the energy evolution.
