The PIP Unit is basically a natural gas regulator that produces electricity without burning or consuming any natural gas by taking the higher-pressure gas and reducing it down to a lower-pressure gas through an expansion engine. The PIP Unit converts the potential energy, stored in the gas as pressure, to mechanical energy that drives a generator and makes electricity.
