EcoVapor Recovery Systems

What EcoVapor Recovery Systems does

EcoVapor Recovery Systems, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, designs and sells catalytic vapor recovery and oxygen removal equipment for upstream oil and gas operators, biogas/renewable natural gas (RNG) producers, and water midstream operators. The company's flagship ZerO2 system uses patented catalytic deoxo technology to remove oxygen from tank vapor and biogas streams without moving parts, enabling operators to capture and sell gas that would otherwise be flared or vented, while meeting strict pipeline oxygen and H2S specifications. The product line is right-sized for life-of-well coverage, from the lower-volume ZerO2 E100 through E300 and E1200 units, with complementary modules — Sulfur Sentinel for H2S treatment, Tank Commander VMS for active tank pressure management, EcoForce blowers for tankless facilities, VRUs, and the trailer-mounted MobileZerO for temporary deployment — plus DryOxo and biogas-specific solutions for dairy and landfill operations.

EcoVapor sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales motion supported by technical sales engineers and field offices in Denver, Greeley, Midland, Oklahoma City, and Houston (the latter co-located with parent company DNOW, NYSE: DNOW). Revenue is generated via one-time equipment sales and recurring service and maintenance contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has deployed 120+ units across all major US basins (Permian, Bakken, DJ Basin, Eagle Ford, Delaware, Marcellus, Uinta, Midcon) and has begun commercial outreach internationally, anchored by conference presence at ADIPEC and the World Biogas Summit. Named enterprise customers include PDC Energy (60 units in Colorado), ConocoPhillips, Bison Oil & Gas, Peaks Renewables, Regenis, and FAC II / Forty Acres, with the technology directly positioned to address EPA NSPS OOOOb/OOOOc compliance and the federal Waste Emissions Charge. Leadership is led by CEO Jason Roe (succeeding founder-era CEO Mike McMahon), with Hans Mueller as CTO/VP, Joe Hedges as Director of Sales, and Jeff Wilson as Director of Product Management.

Core offering

EcoVapor designs, manufactures, and services patented catalytic oxygen removal (ZerO2) and H2S treatment equipment for upstream oil & gas operators and biogas/RNG producers. Its systems remove oxygen and contaminants from tank vapor and biogas streams so operators can capture, condition, and sell these gas streams to pipeline specifications while eliminating routine flaring and venting emissions. Supporting offerings include vapor recovery units, tank pressure management systems, gas blowers, mobile trailer units, and integrated deoxo-dryer packages for life-of-well and biogas upgrading applications.

Product overview

EcoVapor Recovery Systems offers a portfolio of vapor recovery and gas conditioning technologies for oil & gas and biogas/renewable natural gas (RNG) markets. The core product is the patented ZerO2™ oxygen removal system, which eliminates routine flaring by removing oxygen from tank vapors to meet pipeline specifications. ZerO2 is available in multiple sizes (E100, E300) to match production volumes across the well lifecycle. Supporting products include Sulfur Sentinel™ for H2S treatment, Tank Commander™ VMS for active tank pressure management, EcoForce™ gas blowers for tankless facilities, VRUs for vapor capture, and MobileZerO™ trailer units for temporary applications. For biogas markets, EcoVapor offers DryOxo™ integrated deoxo dryer packages and agricultural/landfill biogas purification systems. All products convert waste gas streams into revenue while reducing emissions.
