| What is Dresser's approach to sustainability? | Top ↑ |
| Dresser is committed to the continued development of environmentally friendly products that enable customers to reduce their environmental impact and improve their operating performance while increasing profitability. This “green means green” strategy is deeply rooted in the company’s DNA. As far back as the 1950s, Dresser was producing biogas engines that enabled customers to dramatically reduce their environmental impact. These efforts continue today. A few examples include solar-powered Texsteam pumps, zero-bleed Becker valves that eliminate natural gas leakage, and engines that run on animal waste, which prevents methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from being emitted into the atmosphere. |
