As our industry shifts to keep pace with the latest environmental and safety standards, our goal is to do more than just react. We aim to lead with forward-thinking solutions – the kind that have been part of who we are, from day one.
That commitment has already led to innovative products and services that we have deployed to help decrease the amount of waste we create, while also forging a cleaner path forward for GD Energy Products and the industry at large.
From finding new ways to renew and reuse hardware, to enabling the use of cleaner, more efficient fuel sources to power our industry-leading equipment, GD Energy Products is reshaping the way we do business. It's about discovering innovating approaches to what we deliver while reducing our overall environmental impact.
GD Energy Products recycled 13.8 million pounds of metal in 2022, resulting in reduced waste to landfills as well as decreased energy and natural resource usage that goes along with manufacturing operations.
GD Energy Products partners with Closed Loop Recycling (CLR), a turnkey cleaning service that brings a state-of-the-art recycling program to GDEP facilities, allowing our teams to reuse and recycle freshly laundered oil absorbents, rags and personal protective equipment (PPE). Tailored to fit each site’s unique needs, this companywide initiative offers increased sustainability and cost savings in our operations, reduced waste in landfills, and also aids in safety and productivity for our team. CLR handles the site collection and heavy lifting so our team can focus on serving our customers.
GD Energy Products Coolant Reclamation Program allows for coolant to be reclaimed and reused during the typical machining process – providing significant cost and material savings, creating a more safe and sustainable operation.
GD Energy Product’s plunger remanufacturing program reconditions used plungers to original factory condition – delivering a more sustainable recycling process and reducing environmental waste.
Our latest Thunder 5000 Series pump delivers more energy efficient performance by enabling the ability to drive performance through electric, dual fuel and gas turbine engines. It represents another step in delivering solutions that encourage greater environmental stewardship across the industry.
GDEP’s Core Exchange Program allows you to recycle your failed power end for a fully remanufactured, factory-certified core replacement unit. Designed to get our customers back up and running faster, GDEP will ship a recertified unit the next day, assembled with OEM parts and painted to you specifications. Our power end recycling program saves both time and money at the fraction of the price of a new pump while keeping this heavy equipment out of landfills and junkyards.
