Below is a listing of companies that we know to be active in the small-to-intermediate scale nitrogen rejection space (<10MMcf/d). We encourage serious inquirors to contact these companies and vet their technologies prior to making any decisions. If we're leaving anyone out, let us know and we will cheerfully post them. We're not worried - we know that as long as you do your homework, your path will always lead back to IACX. Simply put, IACX is the best thing going in the smaller scale nitrogen rejection space. But don't take our word for it....
THE COMPETITION
Smaller Scale Nitrogen Rejection Assets
Membrane Technology and Research, Inc., Menlo Park, California
** IACX has replaced one MTR Membrane System, much to the customer's satisfaction **
Guild Associates, Inc., Dublin, Ohio
** IACX has replaced two Molecular Gate Systems, much to the customers' satisfaction **

**Status of this company is unknown - website no longer active as of March 2011**
New Process on the Horizon (?)
(“Small Scale Nitrogen Rejection with Pressure Swing Adsorption”)
The Stripper Well Consortium of Penn State University is working with some Kansas operators to design and deploy a small scale nitrogen rejection unit. Don’t know how they’re doing, but you can follow along at this site. http://www.kgs.ku.edu/PRS/Microscale/index.html or
The Oklahoma Marginal Well Commission has been very helpful to our efforts in gaining an audience with Oklahoma producers. They are incentivized to providing whatever assistance possible to keep lower-volume wells producing (this includes the low Btu gas). Give them your support! http://www.ok.gov/marginalwells/
The Kansas Independent Oil & Gas Association has a robust following and their newsletter is a must read for Kansas producers (or anyone considering an entry into Kansas). Acre for acre, there's probably no larger resource of untapped low-Btu gas in the country than in Kansas, and many KIOGA members know where these gems are buried. We're members ... and you should consider becoming one! http://www.kioga.org/
The West Texas Geological Society. According to the University of Texas, there are multiples of billion cubic feet of Yates gas in Gaines and Andrews counties left to recover. West Texas Geological Society members already know this.... http://www.wtgs.org/
The Dallas Geological Society
Gotta support the hometown guys! Their springtime Crawfish Boil is a “must make” event. We’ll see you there. http://www.dgs.org/
American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)
The leading association for geologists. We’re proud members. Their Monthly Bulletin is a must read for idea seekers, and members also have free access to historical Bulletin publications going back to the early 20th Century. These Bulletin's are excellent resources for prospectors sniffing around in low-Btu basins. http://www.aapg.org
OTHER VENDORS
Need a larger nitrogen rejection plant? BCCK Engineering has survived the test of time and their assets work. Greg Hall would be your contact there. http://www.bcck.com/
Tristream: Are you in the natural gas business, but prefer to leave the gathering, dehydration, liquids-removal and compression to someone else? These guys are straight shooters and their terms will knock the socks off most everyone else. Talk to Ken or Tony.... http://www.tristreamenergy.com/
Sulfatreat: Got H2S? That's a problem that we prefer to leave to others. Thus, don't call us, call these guys. http://www.sulfatreat.com/
ProSep can set you up with membrane systems that are best for high pressure, high-CO2 applications. Lew Mologne is the chief over there and he really knows his stuff. When you talk to him, tell him we said hello. http://www.prosep.com/
