Operations and Technology The Product Our primary business is the removal of undesirable gases from gas streams using our "patent pending" modular, Emissions Defense Units (EDU’s). First deployed into the Canadian oil and gas sector, our technology can be used wherever significant hazardous gas streams or obnoxious odors are produced, including such non-hydrocarbon based gas streams as sewage plant foul air, biomass odors, and agricultural waste gas streams. Key applications for our technology include: Flare Stacks cannot incinerate all the H2S in a "waste gas" stream. This is largely due to the presence of CO2 in such streams. The practice of adding expensive clean methane or propane to waste gas, to help it burn better in a flare stack, still does not result in full incineration of the H2S. Once the waste gas is processed through our "EDU", it is virtually clean, and can be burned economically in a power generation system, used directly as a heating fuel, or stored for future use. Well to Wire Emissions Control Inc. originated in the Western Canadian Oil and Gas Fields where our technology was first used instead of flare stacks to scrub sour and acidic waste gas. We are expanding this initial base to include operations in the municipal, industrial, and agricultural sectors throughout Canada and the United States.
Well to Wire Emissions Control Inc. is a subsidiary of Well to Wire Energy Inc., which specializes in power generation from "waste gases". Well to Wire Emissions Control Inc. is field testing a new Sulfur Dioxide "EDU" specifically developed for processing sulfur dioxide in exhaust gases.

Return to Q & A Introduction on Home PageMarket Innovations & Achievements To date, the Company has: Well to Wire Emissions Control Inc. now provides immediate, economical solutions to eliminate or dramatically reduce the negative environmental impact created by "greenhouse gas emissions". Resource Companies, Industrial Manufacturers, Municipal Departments, Commercial Companies and Agricultural Operations, who have been searching for financially viable and cost effective and innovative solutions, now have an opportunity to reduce their operating costs and enhance their environmental profile. Well to Wire Emissions Control Inc. "patent pending process" is a gas-to-gas reaction with sour and acid gases, in the presence of a catalyzing substrate. Our unique design concurrently eliminates hydrogen sulfide and substantially reduces carbon dioxide from the "off-gas" streams. This process accelerates reaction rates, permitting large volume throughputs. Our vessel can be grass roots designed and/or modified for site-specific gas volumes and concentrations of sour and/or acidic components in the gas streams Return to Q & A Introduction on Home PageBy-Product Handling & Disposal The byproducts of the reaction created within our "EDU" are bicarbonates, sulfides, bisulfides, and water. Although the by-products are soluble in water and chemically stable, they should be treated with caution. Before an "EDU" is recharged, it must be cleaned by flooding/flushing and draining it with clean warm water. The by-products and rinse water are chemically stable, and generally not a hazard to the environment, when disposed of in an approved manner. No, the by-products and rinse water should only be disposed of into an approved produced water disposal well or transported to an approved reclaiming facility. These by-products can also be discharged into a slop/fermentation/digester tank or into a water injection charge tank for disposal down a pressure maintenance injection well. No, as is the case with most products in nature containing sulfur, a strong acid mixed with the by-products and rinse water may result in regeneration of the H2S gas.
