Required
To be the world leader in harnessing weak methane emissions. We target emissions escaping at concentrations far too low to ignite (less than 2% in air).
100s of millions of tons of weak methane emissions escape each year from fossil fuel production, landfills, and wetlands. We believe these emissions could be part of our new energy future.
Explore The TechA patented high-temperature heat exchanger for the oxidation of methane, VOCs, and CO emissions. Capable of oxidizing streams as weak as 0.3% methane in air.
Generates power from almost any gas. With methane concentration of 1.5% or more, the Oxiperator will power a gas turbine (OxiTurbo).
From oil fields to landfills, we bridge the gap between complex emissions challenges and reliable mechanical performance.
Discuss Application
We are building an Oxiperator for the tailpipe of a 1 MW lean-burn engine that will oxidize all methane, VOCs and CO emissions. No catalyst.
Mitigating methane emissions from routine flares, tanks, abandoned wells, and stranded gas. Converting vents and flares to power.
Generate power from methane emissions as weak as 1.5%. As landfill gas quality drops, Oxiperator provides a solution where others fail.
From a novel thermodynamic concept to a multi-million dollar federally funded solution. We are rapidly advancing towards a zero-emissions future.
Awarded $205k CAD from NGIF Accelerator to field demonstrate the Oxiperator at upstream and midstream natural gas compressor stations in Alberta.
Secured $2.5M EMF award to deploy the Power Oxiperator with Jonah Energy, converting waste gas into clean electrical power.
Breakthrough at CSU Engine Lab: Oxiperator eliminated 100% of methane and VOCs from a 300-kW lean burn engine exhaust. Reduced CO to <10 ppm.
Mission Viejo, CA, November 06, 2024 - Prabhu Energy Labs (PEL) announced a breakthrough with its Oxiperator, being developed un...
Edan Prabhu, Founder and CEO of Prabhu Energy Labs and Prabhu Energy Alberta, invented and patented the Oxiperator. He previously founded FlexEnergy, which built gas turbine power plants running on weak gas. Before that, Edan spent more than 20 years at a public utility, building clean energy power plants. His vision includes wetlands methane as a renewable fuel of the future.
