CORDOVA METHANE CONTROLS FEATURED IN GAS COMPRESSION MAGAZINE
In the July issue of Gas Compression Magazine, Cordova Methane Controls was featured for its methane emission reduction technologies—most notably the BurnerHawk, a patented pilot and main burner closure system. With innovations like the BurnerHawk and VentHawk, Cordova Methane Controls delivers operator-friendly solutions that make compliance straightforward while ensuring ease of operation.
BurnerHawk: Patented Pilot and Main Burner Closure System
BurnerHawk is a pilot and main burner closure system that closes both pilot and main burner gas flows when pilot flame loss is detected, addressing a common risk in legacy wells that lack burner management systems. Designed for quick, one-hour installations and requiring no solar, grid power or electronics, BurnerHawk enables operators to minimize emissions and avoid major methane releases, keeping production safe and compliant.
VentHawk: Patented Pneumatic Vent Gas Capture System
The patented VentHawk system collects vent gas from up to eight vent gas inputs, safely redirecting it for beneficial use in pilot burners and site operations, without increasing consumption or production downtime. VentHawk captures the methane and recycles it as fuel to run the pneumatics and the burner, heating the oil and keeping it flowing.
Practical Solutions with Built-In Simplicity
Cordova’s approach ensures all systems work with familiar pneumatic equipment, requiring only standard tools and minimal operator training. These solutions help customers meet emissions regulations, maintain environmental stewardship and maximize return on investment without adding complexity for field teams.
Cordova’s emission control technologies are designed for seamless integration into the daily workflow of oil and gas field teams. As Tim Westmoreland, Sales Manager, states:
“We wanted the solution to be operator-friendly. It’s the same equipment that operators have always worked on. We’re not introducing new equipment they must learn—new air compressor stations or electronic devices with all these electronics on them. Every operator out there knows how to work on these pneumatic products. There’s not much difference in their everyday operation.”
