Operations & Maintenance

Operate Safely. Stay on Spec. Maximize Delivered RNG.

Nacelle provides operations and maintenance support for biogas and RNG facilities, for asset owners, operators, and developers who need a proven team running their plant. Whether you need full-site coverage or targeted support, we help facilities run consistently through routine operations, planned maintenance, and unplanned events without losing throughput or missing spec.

What We Maintain

Biogas treatment systems, including H₂S, siloxane, and moisture management
Upgrading systems, including membranes and pressure swing adsorption
Compression, drying, and pipeline injection skids
Landfill systems interfacing with RNG, including blowers, flares, and conditioning equipment
Controls, SCADA, and instrumentation as part of ongoing operational readiness

What Success Looks Like

Fewer Trips and Faster Recoveries

Operations support designed to help facilities respond quickly and maintain steadier performance.

Planned Maintenance Over Emergency Callouts

Maintenance planning that helps reduce reactive service and avoidable downtime.

Consistent Pipeline Spec

Programs built around the routines, checks, and documentation needed to support delivered RNG quality.

Operations That Scale

Clean documentation, safe handoffs, and support models that can grow with a facility or portfolio.

Our O&M Approach

Operations Support

Daily and weekly operating routines with performance checks, start/stop procedures, upset-response playbooks, operator training, shift coverage planning, and facility communications.

Preventive and Corrective Maintenance

PM program design and execution, CMMS-ready documentation, critical equipment maintenance, vendor coordination, and outage planning to reduce downtime impact.

Reliability and Optimization

Root-cause analysis, spares optimization, maintenance interval tuning, and continuous improvement focused on raising run hours and reducing nuisance downtime.

Who It’s For

Nacelle supports asset owners, developers, and investors who need a qualified operations team running their biogas or RNG facility without building one from scratch in-house. We also support facilities that are already running but experiencing chronic downtime, off-spec events, or maintenance gaps that are not getting resolved.

Common Questions

Do you provide full-time on-site operators or remote support?

Both, depending on what the facility needs. Some sites require full-time on-site coverage; others are well-suited to a combination of periodic site visits and remote monitoring. We assess your facility, your staffing situation, and your uptime requirements and recommend the right coverage model.

Can you take over O&M from a construction or commissioning team?

Yes. This is one of the most common ways we get engaged. Construction teams are not operations teams, and the handoff between them is one of the highest-risk moments in a project's life. We can step in at commissioning, take over at mechanical completion, or stabilize a facility that's already running but underperforming.

What does a PM program look like for a biogas facility?

It depends on the equipment mix, but a typical program covers scheduled inspections and service intervals for compressors, dryers, blowers, and treatment media, along with instrumentation calibration, safety system checks, and documentation. We build programs that are CMMS-ready so maintenance history is tracked and auditable.

How do you handle off-spec events?

We build alarm-response workflows and upset-response playbooks into the operations program from the start. When a deviation occurs, the operator knows exactly what to do, who to notify, and how to recover. The goal is to catch deviations before they become rejections and to document everything for the pipeline operator if needed.
