Safety Features How the Station Works  

 

LNG vs. CNG
LNG Station
Equivalent to 70-100 GPM pumping
CNG Station
Equivalent to 15 GPM fuel dispensing
Based on an incoming pipeline pressure of 45 psi.

Components:

  • Thermo Siphon Storage Tanks, 15,000 gallons, capacity of 15,800 gross gallons (14,280 net). The vessel is of double-wall construction and vacuum insulated with double relief valves.
  • 2 single function pump skids with PLC based control panel (50 gpm), 1 for each LNG dispenser. Weights and Measures certified.
  • 1 LNG Vaporizer (Saturation Coil). The vaporizer is designed to saturate a complete trailer load of LNG (10,000 Gallons) at 20 PSIG to 80 - 100 PSIG in less than 60 minutes.
  • 2 LNG Dispensers with fill and vent hoses and nozzles – Parker Nozzles. The dispensing hose includes fill /vent connections for the vehicle tank(s). The dispenser has a cool down cycle and all liquid supply and return piping and headers are vacuum jacketed.
  • LNG tanker off load module including a separate 190 gpm offload pump. The module has fill and return connectors that allow an approximately 15 minute cool down cycle. The off load module comes with an on/off control box and operating instructions. A level gauge on the storage tank and a tricock pipe both indicate when the tank is full.
  • System Control Panels, PLC-based, incorporating all 480 V/3Ø/50Hx power/control circuits, transformation to 120V/1Ø/50Hz power/control circuits and 24VDC instrumentation. Includes provisions for remote monitoring.
  • Flame and gas detectors, fire extinguishers and alarm panel assembly.
  • Hookups for card reader and remote monitoring system.
  • Complete site construction, permitting assistance, startup and training included.

Operating Costs

Components:

  • (2) 750 scfm Compressors each with electric motor drive and equipped with the following:
    a. Electric motor (labeled for at least a Class 1, Division 2 area) with a reduced voltage motor starter.
    b. Station/compressor electrical control panel for location in a non-hazardous area.
    c. Closed-loop gas recovery system with ASME-rated tank cooled intercoolers and aftercooler.
    d. Condensate separator for the aftercooler with automatic dump system.
    e. Inlet coalescing filter and pulsation dampener.
    f. High-pressure discharge coalescing filter.
  • One dedicated compressed air system to provide instrument quality compressed air for pneumatic controls.
  • One dual tower gas dryer with automatic regeneration.
  • Two single-line, metered, high flow CNG dispensers with electronic ambient temperature and compression heating compensation.
  • Programmable logic controller based electronic station control system including priority valve control system and priority panel. Electronic system to includes a modem for transmitting information.
  • One 3-pak buffer storage assembly with ASME vessels rated at 5,500 psi, with a safety factor of three and water storage of 33 standard cubic feet.
  • Inlet line assembly includes a coalescing filter, check valve, solenoid valve, isolation valve, flexible hose and relief valve.
  • Fuel management system for CNG dispenser authorization and transaction reporting.
  • Gas recovery system for fuel vented during normal compressor operation and shutdown.
  • Flame and gas detectors, fire extinguishers and alarm panel assembly.
  • Complete site construction, permitting assistance, startup and training included.
