Ben Franklin’s Shale Gas Innovation & Commercialization Center announced their 2nd Annual Shale Gas Environmental, Health, & Safety (EH&S) Award at the Shale Insight 2014™ Technology Showcase event. The Technology Showcase, is the highlight of the Marcellus Shale Coalition’s Shale Insight 2014 Pre-Conference Workshop and Conference.
The 2014 Shale Gas EH&S Award was presented to TekSolv, Newark, for their development of a commercially available gas detection sensor system. The TekNet Gas Detection System identifies explosive buildup of dangerous gases during the drilling and fracking process.
The capabilities of the TekNet System were exhibited during an extensive demonstration effort supported by one of the most active operators in the Marcellus Shale. The technology brings a new platform to market that is especially effective and accurate at monitoring the buildup of gases in wet gas operations.
