  • Apparatus and method for generating electricity from the natural flow of a gas well
    Patent number: 12535045
    Abstract: An energy harvesting system for use in a production line from a wellhead. The energy harvesting system captures the energy otherwise lost when reducing the pressure of production fluid from a wellhead to match that of a sales line. The system utilizes the flow of production fluid to drive a turbine and operate a powered unit (e.g., a generator). A magnetic coupling converts the rotary motion of the turbine shaft to rotary motion of the drive shaft of the powered unit.
