Akashic Technologies provides a mobile hydrocarbon recovery unit that uses a patented regenerative cryogenic system to capture waste flare gas on‑site and convert it into sellable LNG and NGLs, eliminating the need for pipelines and large stationary plants. The self‑contained “all‑in‑one factory” offers rapid deployment, fast ROI, and the ability to monetize stranded gas while reducing greenhouse‑gas emissions for oil and gas operators and governments.

Problem
Oil and gas operations often burn (flare) or vent waste natural gas, releasing large amounts of CO₂, methane, and other greenhouse gases while wasting a potentially valuable resource. Existing LNG production requires large, stationary plants and extensive pipeline infrastructure, limiting deployment at remote or stranded well sites.
Solution
Akashic Technologies offers a mobile “Hydrocarbon Recovery Unit” that uses a patented regenerative cryogenic system to capture waste gases directly at the well or plant site and liquefy them into sellable LNG and Y‑grade NGLs. The unit operates as a self‑contained “all‑in‑one factory,” eliminating the need for flaring, venting, water‑intensive processes, and costly pipeline or large‑scale processing facilities. Produced LNG is stored at –162 °C, reducing volume by 600‑fold, and can be shipped using existing global LNG infrastructure or delivered via mobile re‑gasification stations. By converting emissions into marketable commodities, the solution creates new revenue streams for operators and provides a “virtual pipeline” that supports rapid deployment, scalability to any gas volume, and long‑term (30 year) operation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are oil and gas operators, midstream service providers, and governments seeking to eliminate flaring, comply with methane‑reduction regulations, and monetize stranded gas assets.
Features
- Mobile cryogenic unit capable of processing ~7.5 MM scf of gas per day and producing ~16 M gal of LNG and >10 M gal of NGLs annually
- Regenerative liquefaction technology that eliminates flaring and venting, capturing CO₂, methane, and other GHGs (≈357 t CO₂ avoided per day)
- Self‑contained power generation and on‑site storage, enabling immediate LNG production without external utilities or pipelines
- Scalable modular design that can handle any gas volume and produce both sellable LNG and Y‑grade NGLs, with optional separation of specific hydrocarbons
- Quick 365‑day deployment and 30‑year lifecycle, providing fast ROI (8‑10 months) and long‑term operational stability
- Compatibility with existing LNG transport and distribution networks, including mobile cryogenic tanks and satellite re‑gasification stations
