Platinum Control Technologies Participates in Natural Gas STAR Program; Helps Oil & Gas Companies Increase Efficiency and Environmental Stewardship

Fort Worth, TX, May 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Platinum Control Technologies provides oil and gas producers with technologically advanced burner management systems (BMS) that help them improve safety, productivity and compliance. With the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) current proposed regulations expected to be adopted later this year, oil and gas companies across the country will be under tighter pressure to reduce their volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, including benzine and methane. As part of Platinum Control’s commitment to helping customers facilitate compliance, it has been listed to the Service Provider Directory for Natural Gas STAR, a voluntary partnership that encourages oil and gas companies to adopt proven, cost-effective technologies that improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions.

Natural Gas STAR provides a framework to encourage partner companies to implement methane emissions reducing technologies and practices and document their voluntary emission reduction activities.

BMS implementations are one key strategy that oil and gas producers can engage to help them meet the new standards in the following ways:

- Temperature controlled burning prevents explosions, which could result in the release of VOCs
- BMS delivers accurate temperature control to ensure complete incineration of unusable or harmful gases

“We are proud to support the Natural Gas Star program and provide our clients with the best burner management systems on the market, helping them increase environmental stewardship, compliance and the safety of their employees,” said Frank Smith, COO of Platinum.

Manufactured in a state-of-the-art ISO 9001:2008, CSA/UL certified facility with the best quality assurance in the industry, Platinum Control’s BMS units are built for performance and dependability.
