Electric Hydraulic Fracturing

Reliable power, lower emissions

In the electric hydraulic fracturing industry, intermittent duty cycles reign: during a pressure pumping stage, loads frequently exceed 16 MWe (i.e., 18,750 hhp, or 85 bpm at 9,000 psi) for an hour or more; then, the load drops to less than 0.75 MWe for the 15- to 45-minute transition.

Turnkey services for e-frac fueling

VoltaGrid provides turnkey fuel conditioning and delivery services for our electric hydraulic fracturing customers. Our all-electric mobile refrigeration unit (MRU) and booster compression systems enable our generators to run on CNG, LNG, field gas, residue gas, renewable natural gas, or a mix thereof.

Our patent-pending, all-electric MRU uses a single-trailer process design with the capacity to produce up to 4.2 MMSCF per day of conditioned gas per system. When paired with our single-trailer, all-electric booster compression system, our MRU can accept inlet gas pressures as low as 80 psi and as high as 5,000 psi.

Since our generators can accept gas from 850 LHV to 1,150 LHV, VoltaGrid’s MRU strips out natural gas liquids (NGLs). We subsequently return the NGLs to our customers to sell on the wholesale market, offsetting some of the costs of deploying our fleets.
