Savings Meets Sustainability

Shaferâ„¢ Emissions Controlled Actuation Technology (ECATâ„¢) Suite of emissions reduction solutions is an affordable, zero emissions actuation solution for critical pipeline applications needing reliable performance.

Shafer Emissions Controlled Actuator Technology (ECAT)

Zero Emissions Actuation Solutions for Your Natural Gas Pipeline

As new regulations require operators to reduce natural gas emissions, users are challenged to find solutions that perform at the same level as gas-powered actuation. ECAT suite of solutions will transform your valve operating systems into an emissions free operation delivering the same reliability, compatibility, and performance of your existing critical pipeline applications where dependability of the equipment is essential.

Compatible

Versatile solution that be configured for both new actuators and retrofits. Future-proof your plant no matter the regulatory changes or operational needs.

How it Works

Using pipeline gas to pressurize hydraulic fluid and actuate the valve, the ECAT eliminates high-pressure gas venting from the tanks through the control panel.
