The global warming potential (GWP) is a measure that compares the ability of a gas to retain heat
in the atmosphere in relation to carbon dioxide (CO2), whose GWP is equal to 1. The higher the
GWP of a gas, the more powerful it will be as a greenhouse gas.
Methane, with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms (CH4), has a GWP of 84 over a 20-year
period.
Thus, in terms of short-term global warming potential, methane is much more
harmful than carbon dioxide.
To combat climate change, reducing methane is crucial in
the short-term mitigation strategy."
Hydrocarbon energy production is a top contributor to methane emissions, largely during oil and gas extraction. Tackling emissions at this stage is efficient with technology for leak monitoring and proper methane destruction.
RECO offers advanced solutions for sites where gas transportation is not feasible, including transformation through thermal oxidation to convert it into thermal energy, as well as cutting-edge methane emissions monitoring and on-site power cogeneration.
Our incinerators outperform traditional burners with a 99.99% combustion efficiency,
significantly higher than the 78% or less of conventional burners. Factors such as
salinity, humidity, wind, and temperature cause inefficient and polluting combustion
both offshore and onshore.
The high pollution from conventional burners causes public health issues, social
vulnerability, and collective inequity. Our mission is to replace these burners with
eco-efficient incinerators to protect existing population settlements.
We harness all the energy from industrial processes to create reliable and optimized systems, ensuring maximum utilization through the integration of our closed-cycle cogeneration and thermal oxidation (OT) equipment, with efficiency in energy availability being our main goal.
We have two main types of incinerators: gas and solid waste incinerators.
Dependable system ensuring continuous energy generation.
Pioneering suitable incinerators for superior combustion performance.
Advanced AI technology to monitor and mitigate methane efficiently.
In our quest for innovative and sustainable solutions, we are pleased to present our energy cogeneration approach. This technology allows us not only to responsibly eliminate methane or other by-products generated by industrial processes but also to transform them into valuable thermal, electrical, or mechanical energy sources.
Discover how we are leading the way towards a cleaner and more efficient future.
Utilizing residual heat to generate electricity or other forms of energy significantly increases our process efficiency, reducing reliance on conventional and more expensive energy sources.
By generating our own energy, we become less dependent on the conventional electrical grid, increasing our operational resilience and stability.
Decomposing methane into CO2 and water vapor while capturing the heat generated during incineration actively contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
Investing in cogeneration technologies demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and environmental respect, positioning us as leaders in our sector.
