EMISSIONS REDUCTION

Making your environmental impact and profitability greener

Propell’s GreenStart system allows for reduced idle time by intelligently shutting off the engine when not in use. A self-contained starter system provides the onboard energy to restart the engine at any time, while an on-board monitoring software intelligently determines when to restart, ensuring your frac is always ready to work.
