No-Blow Tools Kit

Patent pending system eliminates blowing gas from routine pipeline maintenance activities

ULC Robotics No blow tools kit and methods of operation convert routine pipeline maintenance activities which cause gas to blow to No Blow activities. ULC Robotics No Blow Tools have been designed to work with your existing tapping equipment on 4” to 12” cast iron and steel low pressure mains.

Numerous benefits result from reducing or eliminating the escape of blowing gas.

These Benefits include:

• Reduced Risk of Dropping Customers

Anytime that gas is permitted to blow there is some risk that customers may be dropped due to a sudden pressure loss. Eliminating blowing gas can reduce the likelihood that customers will be dropped during routine maintenance or construction activities.

• Reduced Environmental Impact

Methane is one of the key greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming and is thought to be responsible for nearly as much global warming as all other non-CO2 greenhouse gases combined. Eliminating blowing gas can help to reduce our carbon foot print and its associated impact on the environment by lowering levels of this powerful greenhouse gas.

• Improved Safety

Blowing gas puts workers, the public, and facilities at risk. In an age where safety is paramount, the risks associated with blowing gas can and should be avoided. Eliminating blowing gas will improve safety and reduce risk.

• Avoid Costs Associated with Regulatory Compliance

Legislation establishing caps on greenhouse gas emissions is pending in congress. In the future, gas distribution companies will likely be required by law to limit annual greenhouse gas emissions to a predetermine level. If the established level is exceeded, onerous fines may be imposed or purchases of carbon credits may be required. Eliminating blowing gas will reduce gas distribution companies’ carbon foot print thereby aiding in the avoidance of the cost of fines and carbon credits associated with greenhouse gas emissions.

• Public Perception/Customer Satisfaction

A positive public perception and high level of customer satisfaction add value to gas distribution businesses. Improving safety and taking steps toward protecting our environment by eliminating blowing gas can improve both public perception and customer satisfaction.
