Hey fellow miners,
I'm currently a grad student at Montana State University, working on a project for a company that created a product to refine natural gas right at the wellsite. This is aimed at helping remote data centers like crypto mining setups and cloud processing units. The product converts those hydrocarbon-heavy natural gases into fuel that’s easier on generator parts and produces cleaner emissions. This could really boost your machine's uptime and help you meet local emission standards.
So I'm curious, does this sound like something that would be useful for remote miners? They’ve got 1MW and 2MW versions available, but they can also make them in different sizes if needed. I’d really appreciate any feedback or questions so we can figure out the best route for the company.
Thanks a lot!

I have a person for you to contact. He builds huts with gas gens to mine.
I will pm a link to you.
Any chance it could be used for methane bio-gas? Or is it just natural gas? We always have siloxane issues that would be cool to clean out and remove which would boost the engine longevity.
If your generator is compression ignition only, then you might want to try the Bitcoin Blockchain Fuel Saver? Seems to clean diesel engines emissions quite nicely.
In general, it would be interesting if, in addition to the power generated by these generators, you also share such a parameter as the consumption of natural gas for electricity generation m³/Mw(Kw), so that users can see with what effect it can be used.
