ZEVAC Quad

The ZEVAC Quad Gen 4 is engineered for contractors, utilities, midstream operators, and pipeline service providers that need a reliable solution for gas capture, liquid recovery, and emissions compliance. Designed for portable deployment on a flatbed or trailer, the Quad combines high-capacity performance with operational flexibility across a wide range of pipeline maintenance and recovery applications.

Its multi-pressure operating capability allows crews to adjust pressure differentials in real time, enabling efficient recovery under changing field conditions. Unlike conventional systems that rely on electrical components, the Quad operates using compressed air and a fully mechanical design, eliminating ignition sources and simplifying deployment in hazardous environments.

Whether performing pipeline drawdowns, pigging operations, trap maintenance, or gas transfer projects, the Quad helps operators reduce methane emissions, eliminate routine venting and flaring, and recover valuable product that would otherwise be lost.

Key Features

• Multi-pressure recovery capability for low, medium, high, and high-plus operating conditions.
• Handles both gas and liquids, including dry gas, wet gas mixtures, NGLs, propane, butane, and Y-grade liquids.
• 100% mechanical operation with no onboard electronics.
• Compressed-air driven design requiring no electrical power source.
• Portable deployment via trailer or flatbed truck.
• Pipeline drawdown capability to 0 psi for maximum product recovery.
• Integrated emissions reduction technology supporting methane mitigation initiatives.
• Noise-suppressed operation with included silencer.

Benefits

• Reduce Methane Emissions
  Captures gas that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, helping operators meet environmental objectives and regulatory requirements.
• Recover Valuable Product
  Keeps recoverable gas and liquids in the system, minimizing product loss and maximizing operational efficiency.
• Improve Workplace Safety
  Eliminates many risks associated with venting and flaring by maintaining product containment within the system.
• Flexible Field Performance
  One unit can manage a broad range of operating conditions and fluid types, reducing the need for multiple specialized recovery systems.
• Quick Jobsite Deployment
  Compact transport dimensions and straightforward pipeline integration help crews mobilize and begin work faster.
• Operates Without Electricity
  Compressed-air operation is ideal for remote locations where electrical power is unavailable or undesirable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ZEVAC Quad commonly used for?

The Quad is typically used for pipeline drawdowns, distribution systems, upstream and midstream operations, spools, and trap applications involving both gases and liquids.

Can the Quad handle liquid hydrocarbons?

Yes. The unit can process dry gas, wet gas mixtures, and liquid hydrocarbons including NGLs, propane, butane, and Y-grade liquids.

Does the Quad require electrical power?

No. It operates entirely on compressed air and does not require electricity at the jobsite.

What size air compressor is recommended?

A 375–750 CFM air compressor is typically recommended, with approximately 90 CFM required for each of the system's four cores.

How is the equipment transported?

The Quad is commonly transported and deployed using a flatbed truck or trailer.

How far can the system draw down a pipeline?

The Quad can draw down pipeline sections to 0 psi, helping maximize gas and liquid recovery.

What is cross compression?

Cross compression is the process of removing gas from one section of a pipeline and recompressing it into another section, preserving product while minimizing emissions.

Why choose the ZEVAC Quad?

The system helps improve regulatory compliance, reduce methane emissions, improve safety, prevent product loss, and support operational efficiency across challenging field applications.
