Questor Technology: Using clean tech to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Questor Technology Inc. is a Calgary-based clean tech company that provides high efficiency waste gas combustion systems. Their mission is to change the way the world handles waste gas combustion systems.
 

The company specializes in the design, sale and rental of high efficiency, solar-powered waste gas incinerators. Questor’s patented technology can take any waste gas stream and ensure it is combusted at 99.99 per cent efficiency. All that is produced is CO2 and water that can then be used to generate power or treat water. Used primarily in the oil and gas sector, these combustors are one “end-of-pipe” method used to limit air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
 

With energy producers, regulators and investors around the world looking to reduce emissions, there is increased demand for combustion systems such as Questor’s. However, although standards existed for the design of flares, there was no similar standard for the design and performance of incinerators. This made it difficult for Questor to compete with companies offering alternative technologies.
 

SCC determined the best strategy to support customer needs and the advancement of global greenhouse gas reductions was for Questor to verify the performance of its Clean Combustion Thermal Oxidizers to the ISO 14034
 

Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) standard. Testing to this international standard verifies Questor’s 99.99% combustion efficiency and supports efforts toward achieving further greenhouse gas reduction, particularly by incorporating precise quantification and determination into regulation.
 

Questor’s clean product line was the first environmental technology to be verified by an ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) accredited verifier to the ISO ETV standard.
