Stationary Engine Testing
Erthwrks utilizes dedicated and specialized mobile laboratories for stationary engine compliance testing for state and federal requirements for the pipeline industry. Serving the natural gas and oil products pipelines in upstream, midstream and downstream facilities, Erthwrks is well versed in all the complex regulations governing the various engines and turbines utilized for compression and transmission. Erthwrks prides itself on providing the highest level of service, accuracy, and efficiency when it comes to stationary engine testing. Our specialized mobile laboratories utilize onboard generators that enable our expert test teams to arrive on-site with all equipment warmed up and ready for testing. Erthwrks staff often completes testing on multiple units per day and provides real-time, on-site preliminary results to our clients on the success of the test. Whenever applicable, Erthwrks uses our FTIR equipped laboratories to provide comprehensive results of the emissions from engines and turbines.
