DALLAS--(Business Wire)-- Energy Transfer Technologies, Ltd. announced today it has received the 2009 Texas Environmental Excellence Award. The Texas Environmental Excellence Award recognizes the use of innovative technology to reduce pollution and is presented by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, on behalf of the Texas Senate and House of Representatives. Energy Transfer Technologies provides a "dual drive" compression concept whereby a combination of gas engines and electric motors are used to move natural gas through pipelines, drastically reducing both emissions and operating costs. The transporting of natural gas through pipelines requires significant amounts of energy that has historically been provided by natural gas fired engines. Energy Transfer`s ESelect Dual Drive patented technology allows its compressors to switch between gas and electricity in response to changes in demand for electricity. The compressors, which run mainly on electricity, switch to gas engines during peak demand times to help avoid the need to add generating capacity. For each 1,500 horsepower Dual Drive running on electricity there can be up to a 95 percent reduction in exhaust emissions along with reductions in noise, waste oil and coolant usage. The same technology can be applied to other industries that pump fluids such as municipal water systems. "We`re very proud to accept this award that recognizes our efforts to increase our industry`s efficiency and take better care of our environment," said Raymond Herpers, Energy Transfer Technologies chief executive officer. "We believe our patented technology can have a significant impact in both of these very important areas." Energy Transfer Technologies, Ltd. is a Dallas-based private company. The company leases and services Dual Drive gas compression equipment ranging from 1,500 to 5,000 horsepower for gathering and midstream pipeline clients.
