This paper is a report to the North American Gas Compression Gas Gathering Market of one company’s experience with the G3516b LE Engine with Ultra Lean Burn Technology in rental fleet compression service. The report presents the various technologies employed in this gas compression driver to achieve low engine-out NOx to effectively comply with Ozone Nonattainment Area restrictions. A multi-disciplined approach presents from the perspective of both the end user and engine manufacturer on how the engine was applied, packaged, installed, commissioned and placed into continuous compression service in the Barnett Oil Shale of TCEQ Chapter 117 DFW 8 hour Ozone Nonattainment Area levels (0.5g NOx/bhp-hr emissions without NOx aftreatment). Ultra Lean Burn Technology is instrumental to compression in that it applies a variety of technologies in meeting the challenging, ever-evolving environmental rulings while bringing effective, reliable, emissions flexible products to the natural gas compression market. The North American Natural gas Industry has seen a wide variety of changes in the emissions constraints in recent years on federal, provincial, state and local levels. Requirements for low emissions of NOx, CO, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants) while desiring improved fuel efficiency leads to challenging product requirements. In January 2008 the EPA Spark Ignited Stationary New Source Performance Standards set new federal standards and announced the more strict requirements of the next stage in 2010/2011. States have promulgated strict State Implementation Plans to develop a means to comply with the Federal Clean Air Act. The current economic climate presents additional challenges on how best to install the best value for assured Not To Exceed emissions. Expected rulings for reducing Carbon footprint for gas compression sites will drive greater awareness for improved fuel efficiencies while delivering lower engine-out NOx emissions. This
