Sustainable Chemical Injection: From Pneumatic to Electric

March 1, 2026

The Challenge

Many chemical injection systems rely on fuel gas‑driven pneumatic pumps and instrumentation, creating continuous greenhouse gas emissions and inefficient chemical delivery. High‑pressure injection demands significant energy that is difficult to supply consistently at remote and brownfield sites—especially during winter months with limited solar availability—while capital constraints and limited performance visibility drive over‑injection, higher chemical spend and rising operating costs under increasing ESG pressure.
The Solution

The Solution

Spartan Controls implemented the LCO Crossfire Chemical Pump, a 24VDC, Class 1 Div 1, all‑electric chemical injection pump with an optional solar configuration. A single Crossfire pump replaced up to , significantly reducing equipment count while delivering ultra‑high efficiency suitable for remote locations.

The solution also included a remote connectivity controller, providing enhanced monitoring, control, and operational insight into chemical injection performance. By electrifying injection and eliminating fuel gas dependence, the system improved control accuracy, reduced emissions, and simplified ongoing operations.

The Value

Following implementation, operators realized measurable environmental and operational benefits:
 
  • 100% elimination of fuel gas use for chemical injection, removing a direct source of GHG emissions
  • Up to 75% reduction in pump count, with one electric pump replacing up to four pneumatic units
  • Lower operating costs through reduced maintenance, simplified auditing, and improved injection efficiency
  • Improved ESG performance, supporting top‑quartile producer targets
  • Greater operational insight and control, enabling optimized chemical usage and process efficiency
By eliminating pneumatic equipment and consolidating assets, the solution reduced both emissions exposure and long‑term cost of ownership—delivering a scalable, future‑ready approach to sustainable chemical injection.
