EGCR 2023 Marks 50 Year Kerr Legacy
Join the KERR team May 2-4, at Booth # 408 at the 2023 Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable (EGCR) in Pittsburgh, PA. David Kerr, 2023 Chairman of EGCR, is continuing a fifty year legacy of Kerr Engineered Sales and EGCR collaboration.
EGCR- May 2-4 David L. Lawrence Convention Center
Join David Kerr and Nigel Belshaw May 2-4 at Booth # 408 at the 2023 Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable (EGCR) in Pittsburgh. EGCR is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to provide the Natural Gas Industry with cost effective training programs focusing on engine and compressor maintenance. Countless operators, engineers, gas pipeline managers, industry leaders and insiders have gone through EGCR training.
One of the most popular tracks is the Entry Level Compressor Station Operator Training which focuses on the basics for those new to the industry including: yard piping, auxiliary systems, prime movers, compressor components and operating characteristics of reciprocating and centrifugal compressors.
ZEVAC Session: Compressor Unit and Station Maintenance without Blowdowns
ZEVAC MINI
Doug Sahm, PE, from ZEVAC, is leading a session Tuesday afternoon for Compressor Unit and Station Maintenance without Blowdowns. ZEVAC: Zero Emission Vacuum & Compressor is answering the call to eliminate blowdowns from compressors and compressor stations with new D3 technology that doesn't require any external power source (runs on station dP) and allows closed-loop design of the stations so that they are future-proofed and avoid any current or future methane penalty costs.
50 Year EGCR & KERR Legacy
David Kerr, Kerr Engineered Sales CEO is the Chairman of EGCR for 2023. David is continuing a fifty year legacy of Kerr Engineered Sales and EGCR collaboration. The first EGCR Roundtable was held in 1973 at West Virginia University. David’s Father, Arthur J. Kerr, Jr, President of Kerr Engineered Sales Co. was one of the early pioneers that led industry discussions addressing the need for training and support to address operating and maintenance for compressor systems.

PIPES ACT 2020 Inspection & Maintenance
These mandates require pipeline owners and operators to update their inspection and maintenance plans in order to address eliminating hazardous leaks and minimizing the release of natural gas from their pipeline facilities.
The PHMSA PIPES ACT 2020 mandates pipeline owners and operators to update their inspection and maintenance plans in order to address eliminating hazardous leaks and minimizing the release of natural gas (including intentional venting during normal operations) from their pipeline facilities. The statute requires pipeline operators to complete updates and have plans in place.
Have you implemented the PIPES ACT 2020 into your operational procedures?
Are you implementing set plans to reduce emissions when carrying out pipeline maintenance and repair projects?
Kerr Engineered Sales Company represents manufactures with multiple proven solutions to reduce emissions and assist in leak detection and repair.
Reducing Emissions With GPT
GPT Monolithic Isolation Joint
With gaskets and joints, seal ability is key. The VCS-ID gasket constructed of Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) and a 316SS, has a PTFE (polytetrefluoroethylene) inside diameter (ID) immediately seals the pipe bore preventing media from getting to the GRE. The GPT Monolithic Isolation Joints for below ground pipe applications gives a positive, leak proof block against the flow of electrical current in the piping system.
The EVOLUTION gasket eliminates GRE completely. It benefits from the addition of the PTFE ID giving unparalleled sealing tightness performance, ideal for emission reduction in pipeline connections.
BRUEST CATALYTIC HEATERS
Bruest HOTCAT heaters upgrade performance with reduced emissions
Bruest offers catalytic converters that convert hydrocarbon such as Methane, Propane, and Butane to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The Bruest technology leverages the conversion process and generates infrared heat to safely heat up natural gas instruments such as valves, regulators, instrument gas and cold temperature sensitive devices.
ZEVAC = Zero emission vacuum & compression
ZEVAC is an industry pioneer in gas and liquid recovery technology and the recognized leader in methane mitigation applications. ZEVAC is ideal for reducing emissions on planned repairs or maintenance. The technology uses compressed air to draw the pressure down on a section of the pipe and capture natural gas to be re-compressed into an adjacent pipeline.
ZEVAC uses compressed air to draw the pressure down on a section of the pipe and capture natural gas to be re-compressed into an adjacent pipeline.
Each unit has a pneumatic powered vacuum that suctions methane from any pipe/vessel that needs to be de-pressurized.The other side of the ZEVAC unit compresses the gas back up to pipeline pressure so it can be discharged to a nearby transmission or distribution pipe.
GAZOMAT GAZOSCAN METHANE LEAK DETECTION
GAZOMAT Gazoscan methane leak detection
Using optical technologies, GAZOMAT detection equipment covers the entire field detection process, including high-speed inspection by car, leak detection on-foot, leak location and quantification, coupled with the newest data processing and GPS mapping tools.
TDW Pipeline maintenance
TDW STOPPLE® isolates a section of line for repairs while maintaining gas supply
T.D. Williamson hot tapping and plugging teams use world class technology to create safe work zones for pressurized pipeline maintenance, modification and repair. TDW in-line inspection (ILI) technologies are fully engineered to provide comprehensive threat assessment and to detect cracks and crack-like anomalies, corrosion and metal loss, dents and interacting threats.
