- Innovative application of proven Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology brings cryogenic-like recovery and residue quality -like fuel gas to brownfield and greenfield locations
- Generate more NGL revenue
- Maximize compressor station capacity
- Reduce emissions and costs
We are proud to introduce our latest innovation in natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery technology: the MaCH4 NGL Recovery Solution. This innovative application of proven Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology is operating reliability today and promises to redefine operational efficiency and profitability of natural gas midstream and production facilities.
The MaCH4 delivers cryogenic-like recovery of NGLs to provide residue line quality gas without the expense of constructing a residue line. The MaCH4 is a simple and economically compelling solution for maximizing NGL value, minimizing VOC emissions, and maximizing fee-based revenue for producers and gatherers, while also maximizing the efficiency and runtime of engines and respective compressors.
“Compressor engines with midstream and upstream operators using NGL-rich fuel gas are burning profits and constraining capacity, resulting in higher emissions and derated performance,” said Mathias Schlecht, President and CEO of ColdStream Energy. “The MaCH4 is in the field today working reliably to maximize NGL revenue, minimize emissions, and ensure maximize efficiency and throughput of compressor stations. With the field demonstrated results and strong industry interest, we are ramping up manufacturing capacity to meet future demand.”

Benefits of MaCH4
- Generate More NGL Revenue. Capture valuable NGLs instead of burning them up as fuel with cryogenic-like recovery rates at a lower cost, capturing 60% of C2 and an impressive 95% of C3+ heavy hydrocarbons onsite.
- Maximize Compressor Station Capacity. The benefit of MaCH4’s NGL recovery effectiveness compressor performance, maximizing throughput and fee-based revenue.
- Reduce Operating Costs. Engines fueled by MaCH4 lean gas run cleaner, reducing detonation, downtime, and long-term ownership costs. Improved efficiency and extended service intervals contribute to significant cost savings over time.
- Reduce Emissions, Simplify Permitting. Using pipeline-quality fuel gas supplied by the MaCH4 minimizes VOC emissions, ensuring compliance, helping avoid major source emissions thresholds and simplifying regulatory permitting.
Features of the MaCH4
MaCH4 features a compact design with single-phase power requirements, minimizing operating costs. Its simple process enables unattended operations that are remotely monitored and controlled for ease of management.
- Low maintenance with minimal operator intervention, over 99% mechanical availability.
- Large 10:1 turndown ratio.
- Handles BTU swings from fluctuating feed gas compositions.
- Cryogenic-like recovery of NGLs without the low temperature requirements (no freeze issues).
- Minimal power requirements (single phase), especially compared to cryogenic processes.
- Recovered heavy hydrocarbons remain in gaseous form (no liquids, no product storage tanks required).
- Requires no chemical consumables to operate (i.e. methanol, glycol, lubricating oil).
- Skid mounted and field transportable.
- Dehydrates the saturated feed gas and recovers heavy hydrocarbons in a single step process.
