Project Goal This project strives to significantly improve the cost-effectiveness of implementing NOx and formaldehyde controls and associated monitoring on compressor engines, thus ensuring compliance with air regulations does not prevent oil and gas operations from achieving their maximum productivity at competitive production costs.  
Task 1 Develop industry partnerships to coordinate overall project direction and execution, and to facilitate field testing and technology transfer.  
Task 2 Develop a database of existing reciprocating engines currently used in E&P applications.
Task 3 Identify and assess commercial and emerging emissions control and monitoring technologies
Task 4 Determine technology and market gaps and incongruities between practical options, current and expected permitting requirements.
Task 5 Evaluate via controlled laboratory testing emerging technologies and adapt products to this specific setting.
Task 6 Determine on-engine control system and sensor requirements for remote emissions monitoring.
Deliverables The ultimate deliverable is a set of commercially available, cost effective retrofit emissions reduction and monitoring equipment. 

Other deliverables will consist of monthly progress reports and Topical Reports at the end of each phase of the project.
