INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR THE EXTRACTION, INCINERATION AND MONITORING OF WASTE OR VENTED GASES
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a frame;
an inlet member coupled to the frame, the inlet member configured to be coupled to a gas well;
an outlet member coupled to the frame, the outlet member configured to be coupled to a receiver configured to receive a gas flow from the gas well when the inlet member is in fluid communication with the gas well;
a valve configured to selectively place the inlet member in fluid communication with the outlet member; and
an electrical isolation member configured to electrically isolate the inlet member and the outlet member.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the extraction, incineration and monitoring of methane gas extracted from a mine are described herein. In some embodiments, a system includes a transportation platform, a fluid machine coupled to the transportation platform, an incinerator, a vent assembly and a flow interface assembly. The fluid machine is configured to be coupled to a gas well, and to produce a gas flow from the gas well. The incinerator is configured to be fluidically coupled to the fluid machine, and is configured to combust at least a portion of the gas flow from the gas well. The vent assembly is configured to be fluidically coupled to the fluid machine. The flow interface assembly is coupled to the transportation platform and is configured to selectively place the fluid machine in fluid communication with any one of the incinerator and the vent assembly.
