Methane Elimination
Through advanced technologies and sustainable practices, we strive to lead the industry in methane management and environmental responsibility.
Methane Elimination
Advancing Cleaner Energy Through Methane Reduction Solutions
At Firmtec B.V., we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of petroleum refining through innovative and effective methane elimination strategies. We understand the critical importance of tackling methane emissions — a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change. Through advanced technologies and sustainable practices, we strive to lead the industry in methane management and environmental responsibility.
Building a Cleaner Future
Methane elimination is a cornerstone of our sustainability mission. At Firmtec B.V., we recognize our responsibility to lead the energy sector toward a cleaner, more climate-resilient future. Through science-driven approaches, responsible engineering, and measurable outcomes, we aim to make a real difference — not just in the Netherlands, but globally.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
Methane elimination at Firmtec B.V. is not only an environmental priority — it also brings economic advantages. Captured methane can be used to fuel refinery operations or be sold as natural gas, creating value from what would otherwise be a pollutant. By improving process efficiency, reducing waste, and lowering compliance costs, our methane reduction efforts support both profitability and sustainability.
Advanced Technologies for Methane Elimination
Firmtec B.V. deploys a variety of high-performance systems to detect, prevent, and eliminate methane emissions. Our methane elimination process involves leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs, real-time monitoring sensors, and the installation of low-bleed or zero-bleed valves and pneumatic controllers. We also employ flaring alternatives and methane capture units to convert waste gases into usable energy within our facilities.
Integration into Refining Operations
Our methane elimination practices are fully integrated into our refining operations. We identify high-risk emission points and implement control technologies that not only reduce emissions but also improve energy efficiency and operational performance. By redesigning equipment and processes to minimize fugitive emissions, we maintain compliance with strict EU environmental standards while reducing our carbon footprint.
