“The Pipeline Research Council International – Compressor and Pump Station Technical Committee is dedicated to managing research related to NOx and greenhouse gas reductions at process plants and pipeline compressor sites. Our technical committee meetings serve as a platform to facilitate this research.

Achieving our goals involves collaboration with the Department of Energy, multiple universities, and equipment manufacturers. The research topics we cover include:

• Enhancements in operational flexibility and efficiencies
• Advanced equipment monitoring and real-time diagnostics

Looking ahead, our research will focus on expanding the knowledge base in areas such as:

• Emissions after-treatment and sensor improvements and knowledge sharing
• Combustion efficiency advancements through premixing and hydrogen integration
• Development of recompression systems”
