eLynx Provides Compressor Monitoring for Optigas

TULSA, Okla., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- eLynx Technologies has been providing compressor monitoring for Optigas, Inc., a pipeline, compression and gathering company based in Lakewood, Colorado. The company uses eLynx's CompressorDOC, a report-by-exception alarm device used to optimize runtime on critical compressors via the Internet.

"We have been very pleased with our relationship with eLynx," said Greg Tilden, vice president of operations for Optigas. "Their CompressorDOC has allowed us to monitor our information effortlessly."

CompressorDOC uses the digital overhead channel of the cellular network to provide up-to-the-minute data on the Internet. The device allows the producer to view the status of their compressors, the history of alarm notifications, run-time percentage calculations, downtime hours, etc. In addition, CompressorDOC provides alarm notification when a compressor is down which alerts personnel via mobile phone, email or pager.

"Before we used CompressorDOC we could have had a compressor down for hours without even knowing it. Now we are notified and can rectify the situation instantly," said Tilden.

Optigas, Inc., headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, is a pipeline compression and gathering company.

eLynx Technologies was formed in August 2000 by its parent company, American Central Gas Technologies. eLynx provides real-time data collection, production reporting, trending, monitoring and control via the Internet for the oil and gas industry.
