GASHEATER is a methane activation technology that reduces gas density by roughly half while maintaining constant pressure, temperature, and calorific value.
Technology brief
GASHEATER is a methane activation technology that reduces gas density by roughly half while maintaining constant pressure, temperature, and calorific value.
The challenge
Primary use cases: domestic gas heating (water boilers, heaters, stoves); industrial heating systems; thermal power plants; gas-fired manufacturing (brick, glass, metallurgy, sugar refineries).
Industries and users: gas utilities, heating equipment manufacturers, industrial operators, energy-intensive production facilities.
Scale: modular, from household (10 L/min) to industrial (>100 L/min) capacities.
ARBOK solution
GASHEATER is a methane activation technology that reduces gas density by roughly half while maintaining constant pressure, temperature, and calorific value. Achieves 2× volume expansion without decomposition. Result: 50 % reduction in methane consumption for heating applications without sacrificing heat output. Technology also extends to butane-propane (36 % savings) and diesel fuel (16 % savings). Several industrial units operational; field-validated.
Methane passes through a controlled preheating stage and then into a reactor containing a proprietary activator element that combines magnetic and thermal conditioning of the gas stream, driven by a precisely tuned low-voltage electromagnetic supply. Activation reduces gas density by ~2× without thermal expansion or molecular decomposition. Output gas has double the volume at same pressure/temperature, lowering energy consumption per unit heat delivered. Process is monitored by thermal sensors and electronic gas meters; data logged and graphed by controller.
Market and application
Global gas heating market: billions in annual consumption. Fuel cost savings of 50 % is compelling ROI for industrial and commercial users. Estimated addressable market: €2–5B over 5 years for retrofits + new installations.
CAPEX: €5k–50k per unit (depending on capacity/integration). OPEX savings: 50 % of fuel costs (substantial for high-volume users). Payback: 1–3 years typical. Industrial example: power plant consuming 1000 t/year gas = €50k/year savings at €50/t fuel cost.
Use cases
Primary use cases: domestic gas heating (water boilers, heaters, stoves); industrial heating systems; thermal power plants; gas-fired manufacturing (brick, glass, metallurgy, sugar refineries).
Industries and users: gas utilities, heating equipment manufacturers, industrial operators, energy-intensive production facilities.
Scale: modular, from household (10 L/min) to industrial (>100 L/min) capacities.
The unit is installed directly at the gas inlet and connected to the existing power and gas supply, then commissioned and configured through the controller. Once commissioned, it runs autonomously, with continuous monitoring via electronic meters and temperature sensors and all performance data stored and graphed by the controller.
Retrofits to existing gas heating systems (water heaters, boilers, stoves); integrates with building HVAC; compatible with any methane-based heating equipment.

Activation reduces gas density by ~2× without thermal expansion or molecular decomposition. Output gas has double the volume at same pressure/temperature, lowering energy consumption per unit heat delivered. Process is monitored by thermal sensors and electronic gas meters; data logged and graphed by controller.
Density reduction: approximately 50 %, nearly doubling gas volume at constant pressure and temperature.
Inlet gas passes through a controlled preheating stage before activation; outlet gas is cooled via a heat-recovery exchanger prior to delivery.
Gas flow: up to 10 L/min per unit.
Fuel savings: ~50 % (methane), ~36 % (propane-butane), ~16 % (diesel).
Calorific value: unchanged.
Power draw: modest, supplied from standard mains via a low-voltage precision electromagnetic driver.
A preheating stage conditions incoming gas ahead of a reactor housing a proprietary activator element energized by a precision low-voltage electromagnetic driver; a water-cooled heat exchanger conditions the outlet stream; inlet and outlet thermal sensors and electronic gas meters feed a controller that logs and graphs performance data and manages temperature control; standard pipelines, valves, and flexible gas lines complete the installation.
Technical: ~50 % fuel savings; no decomposition; no thermal expansion artifacts; stable operation; field-proven (multiple industrial units).
Economic: direct OPEX reduction (fuel consumption); payback typically 1–2 years depending on usage volumes; simple retrofit to existing systems.
Environmental: no emissions increase; proportional CO₂ reduction due to fuel savings.
Operational: reliable, compact, easily integrated into existing gas infrastructure.

Gas supply regulation compliance (must verify code acceptance in region); activator capsule longevity/replacement cost (TBD long-term); user training for control unit operation; magnetic field safety (low risk but must validate for sensitive equipment nearby).
