Our name means 'Clean Air,' and our mission is methane. Kathairos completely eliminates methane venting at remote oil and gas well sites by using liquid nitrogen – an inert, non-polluting fuel – to operate pneumatic devices. In doing so, the system replaces the need for methane as instrument gas, and the subsequent venting of this highly potent greenhouse gas during routine well site operation. The technology is profoundly simple, reliable, and cost-effective when compared to mitigation solutions requiring solar, battery, generator, and air compressor system combinations. The nitrogen storage tank is simply plugged into the existing methane fuel system, and operations begin. The Kathairos solution works flawlessly in all weather conditions, has no power requirements, moving parts or complexity, and relies simply on the law of thermodynamics to operate. The technology has seen unprecedented adoption across 17 North American shale basins with more than 55 major oil and gas producers.
