Kimray, a long-standing leader in energy control solutions, and Kathairos, a trailblazer in emissions elimination technology, have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to provide scalable zero-emission solutions for upstream oil and gas facilities, addressing a critical need in the energy industry.
Kathairos’ innovative technology utilizes the thermodynamic power of stored liquid nitrogen to produce dry, inert, pressurized gas for operating pneumatic devices. This solution has proven its efficacy, with over 50 oil and gas producers across the U.S. and Canada adopting it over the past two years. The technology has already eliminated over 200,000 metric tons of CO2e from upstream and midstream operations.
This partnership brings together the best of both companies, providing a comprehensive and effective solution for customers. “Combining Kimray’s industry-leading products with Kathairos’ reliable, emissions-free pneumatic supply creates an effective solution for our customers and the evolving needs of the industry,” said Kimray VP of Sales & Marketing Dustin Anderson. “The pairing of Kimray and Kathairos allows our customers to quickly and efficiently meet emissions goals without giving up the simple, dependable Kimray pneumatic controllers they have been using for the last 75 years.”
The partnership addresses every aspect of the process, from initial site assessment and equipment inventory to inspections, repairs, pneumatic system configurations, and tie-in services. This comprehensive approach ensures a seamless transition for customers, simplifying the adoption of zero-emission technologies.
“Kathairos is dedicated to supporting the oil and gas industry’s efforts to continually improve environmental performance in the production and transmission of the energy our world needs,” said Kathairos CEO and founder Dick Brown. “Partnering with Kimray allows us to deploy our solutions at the speed and scale needed to meet the methane challenge at hand, while ensuring our customers receive the industry-leading expertise and service needed to manage these changes with simplicity and confidence.”
Kimray, based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, has been a global solutions partner in the energy industry since 1948. The company specializes in providing effective control products, project consultation, field service, and comprehensive training with a focus on sustainability.
Kathairos, founded in 2020, is committed to championing essential emission reduction solutions that support the evolving energy industry. The company leverages the power of liquid nitrogen, a clean and inert gas, to drive its solutions, supported by a best-in-class liquid nitrogen distribution network, oil field logistics services, and data-driven emissions mitigation insights.
This strategic partnership between Kimray and Kathairos represents a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the oil and gas industry. By combining their expertise and technology, they offer a practical and effective solution for achieving zero-emission goals while maintaining operational efficiency and reliability.
