EMISSIONS ADVANTAGE
THE AJAX GREEN TEAM
While the standard Ajax unit already has the lowest emissions for any
competitive gas compression package, the Ajax Green Team is constantly
improving its environmental credentials with new and innovative products for
emissions reduction.
Some of Ajaxs latest and most exciting engineering evolutions include:
- The tuned exhaust expansion chamber;
- The oxidizing catalytic converter; and
- The Ajax electric drive separable compressor

EPS COMPRESSION

EPS COMPRESSION
TUNED EXHAUST
EXPANSION CHAMBER
The tuned exhaust expansion chamber allows the recovery of up
to 50% BHP derating (>1,500ft asl) while reducing NOx by 60%.

OBJECTIVE
Lower NOx levels from 2.0 to < 1.0gms/hp-hr at 100 deg ambient without
adding controls to the system or taking additional engine deration.
RESULTS
Achieved emissions levels of < 1.0 while actually increasing available hp.
No moving parts, no computers, no air-fuel ratio controllers, and no
maintenance required.

EPS COMPRESSION
OXIDIZING CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The oxidizing catalytic converter virtually eliminates CO and
VOC emissions and greatly reduces formaldehyde emissions.
Camerons AJAX oxidizing catalytic converter is
capable of removing more than the required carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and VOC levels without
frequent cleaning of the catalyst elements for 2SLB
engines, previously achieved only with four-stroke
stationary engines. During the entire testing period
(over four years on two of the converters), the
converters removed more emissions than Camerons
guaranteed reduction levels.
The new catalytic converter is available for all new
AJAX compressor packages and is also available for
retrofit applications.
