Bruest is Thinking – and Acting Green

• Non-polluting equipment design
• Natural resource conservation
• Energy-savings           
• Empowering employees to be creative and
  “eco-conscious” in the choices they make every day. 

These are just a few of the ways Bruest is helping to make green
thinking “second-nature” for our company, our employees,
our customers, and our community. 

Bruest is committed to the practice, and promotion,
of eco-friendly policies and methods, in every facet of our
systems design, manufacturing, and installation.   

We are committed to reducing emissions, and our
technology will assist industry in doing the same.  

Making meaningful changes in the way we work, and the
decisions we make, has long-term benefits for the environment,
and for our wallets, too.  Because today, green thinking can mean
systems with lower life cycle cost, lower utility cost, and lower
environmental cost. 

This is the kind of green thinking we all want to see, as we work
to protect natural gas pipelines from freezing. 

Let’s begin with 3 environmental hazards that are regulated,
and difficult to control. Fortunately, with better choices
available for gas line protection, these are toxins you
no longer have to deal with at all.  They are: NOx,
VOCs and glycol. 

• NOx / NO – a regulated pollutant poisonous to humans;
  can cause irritation of the eyes and throat, tightness of the
  chest, nausea, and headache. Prolonged exposure to NO
  can cause violent coughing, difficulty in breathing, cyanosis,
  and fatality.  The Clear Skies Initiative dramatically reduced
  allowable emissions of NOx. The final goal is to reduce
  emissions by 70% from year 2000 levels.

• VOCs – Volatile organic compounds are defined by the
  Clean Air Act as chemicals that participate in forming ozone,
  a respiratory toxicant. VOCs react with nitrogen oxides in
  the air, forming ozone and smog and contributing to the
  greenhouse effect.  EPA regulates VOCs, and has announced
  its intention to reduce or eliminate most exemptions.

• Ethylene glycol – can damage the central nervous system,
  heart and kidneys. Ethylene glycol also affects the body's
  chemistry by increasing the amount of acid, producing
  metabolic problems. It can also damage red blood cells
  or damage the bone marrow, where blood cells are
  formed, causing anemia.

Bruest Catalytic Heaters are an excellent choice for
companies who are both eco-conscious and cost-conscious. 
Our HotCat and Freeze-Fiter pipeline heaters are
engineered to be quiet, energy-efficient, and low maintenance,
and are approved for Class 1,  Division 1 & 2, Group D areas. 

Most recently, we introduced the Freez-Fiter Plus+
pilot heater, which has been re-engineered for unprecedented
airflow efficiency, and most uniform temperature control.
