With over 35 years of experience in the permitting and monitoring of oil and gas facilities, SCS Engineers provides a wide array of services to help the industry address these emerging issues.
As new environmental regulations continue adoption, facilities, resource extraction, operations, and land development will face a growing challenge of maintaining comprehensive compliance with limited in-house resources. To solve this problem, SCS provides a wide range of cost-effective services:
Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
Our core capabilities are in solid and hazardous waste management, landfills, energy, remediation, and environmental compliance. With over 35 years of experience in the permitting and monitoring of oil and gas facilities, GEE Engineers provides a wide array of services to help the industry address these emerging issues. As new environmental regulations continue adoption, facilities, resource extraction, operations, and land development will face a growing challenge of maintaining comprehensive compliance with limited in-house resources. To solve this problem, GEE provides a wide range of cost-effective services:
Biogas, Anaerobic Digestion, Renewable Natural Gas & Energy Systems
GEE Engineers has one of the longest and most successful Biogas practices in the United States primarily in landfill gas to energy (LFGE) and digester gas-to-energy (DGE). Our clients attribute our quality to GEE Energy®, our practice specializing in waste gas utilization; combined with our expertise in solid waste management and compliance. Our experienced engineering and field personnel perform all work, and we have an exemplary safety record. GEE designs, constructs, and operates more LFGE and DGE facilities than any other engineering firm in the nation. Our biogas and biomass experts offer turn-key services for Renewable Natural Gas plants using byproducts from diary, swine, or poultry farms.
Facility Energy Management
GEE Engineers helps clients address the challenges of integrating renewable energy solutions with conventional energy facilities. GEE’s long-established expertise in environmental compliance and renewable energy services means we have the skills and experience to develop strategies combining our clients’ organizational and production goals with our ability to integrate the sustainable technology factors relevant to their business goals. GEE has mechanical, electrical, industrial, and environmental energy professionals nationwide who understand how to achieve more efficient production and use of electricity, natural gas, liquid propane, and water. We help our clients make informed and sustainable energy plans based on energy audits, assessments, and energy modeling.
Carbon Sequestration & Deep Well Injection
Deep well injection and carbon sequestration (also carbon capture and underground storage or CCUS) are services that permanently isolate fluids and gases in deep geologic formations to ensure these materials stay there and don’t impact useable resources or the environment. It encompasses the practice of geologic consulting, reservoir engineering, and deep drilling to plan, permit and execute projects that support environmental objectives. Our services include compliance monitoring, testing, reporting, and optimization of the geologic sequestration asset. GEE Engineers has provided wastewater/fluid treatment, isolation, storage, and deep well disposal solutions for over 35 years. During this time, the treatment and disposal of liquid wastes have become increasingly challenging. This is due in part to regulations designed to protect surface and groundwater. Deep well injection is a safe and viable solution when planned and permitted correctly.
Coal Combustion Residuals & Electric Utilities
Coal-burning electric utilities produce large volumes of residual materials that must be managed properly. The challenge is compounded by changing regulatory policy. New requirements for air pollution control, water pollution control, and management of residuals on land are being implemented over the next several years, and several highly-publicized releases of coal ash have increased pressure on utilities to modify their systems for managing coal combustion residuals (CCRs).
Landfill Gas and LFGE
New regulatory policies require landfill owners/operators to reduce reactive organic gas emissions to improve regional air quality, mitigate toxic soil or structure migration, and protect public health, safety, and property. Our LFG projects include utilization feasibility studies, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), and other LFG emission and migration monitoring and control system designs, LFG recovery system design and construction, LFG modeling, Title V permitting, LFG-to-Energy (LFGE), construction, system operation, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M), and technical support to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on LFG issues. The majority of our clients hire GEE to design and build their projects because we expedite the permitting and construction schedules while reducing the overall cost.
Greenhouse Gas Services
GEE Engineers is a pioneer in our nation’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to combat global warming. We proactively pursue the development of markets in which major sources of methane (e.g., oil and gas industry, landfills, dairies, etc.) can generate and sell GHG credits by voluntarily installing methane recovery systems and selling the methane as fuel. Methane is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in terms of its greenhouse effect. Capturing and destroying these emissions can have significant environmental benefits. Simply destroying methane via combustion (power generation or flaring) or sequestration can diminish its GHG potential by 95 percent. Even greater benefits are available if the methane is used as renewable energy in order to offset natural gas or coal-fired power generation.
Risk Management Plans and Process Safety Management
Our specialized practice provides advanced environmental and engineering services regarding risk management and safety to both government and industry clients. GEE staff have expertise in all aspects of compiling Process Safety Management (PSM) and Risk Management Plans (RMP) or GDC documentation, such as piping and instrumentation diagram preparation, mechanical and compliance audits, process hazard analysis, and off-site consequence analysis and modeling.
GEE Remote Monitoring & Control®, GEE RMC®
You’ve heard of the Internet of Things (IoT); GEE RMC® is the IoT for landfills, manufacturing, and industrial facilities that provides real-time viewing, analysis, and control of equipment and systems critical to production and safe operations remotely. GEE RMC® uses a network of sensors and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications to help minimize equipment downtime by alerting your team to maximize production or to an operational safety issue. The system supports additional monitoring components as your site grows, providing facility owners and operators with a single secure application for their supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), data management, and reporting needs. GEE RMC® is most valuable when reaction time is essential to avoid production downtime and continue operations within regulatory mandates to maintain public safety standards. GEE RMC® helps you remain lean and agile without compromising your budget.
Stormwater Management
Environmental consciousness is growing, and GEE is increasingly hired for our expertise in developing appropriate self-imposed standards for ensuring that the water quality of our clients’ discharges remain beneficial to the downstream natural ecosystem. GEE’s stormwater clients have facilities spanning a large variety of industries, from solid waste to manufacturing to industrial waste, but they all have one thing in common: they all appreciate knowing the degree to which they are serving as protectors of the environment by meeting or exceeding water quality standards.
