  8. Overview of Natural Gas and CNG Compressed natural gas (CNG): composed of approximately 95 percent methane normally stored at 3,600 psi (250 bar) in specially designed containers stays in a gaseous form typically compressed from a transmission or distribution pipeline 30% lower cost than other fuels 30-40% fewer greenhouse gases during combustion than other fuels

  9. CNG for Industrial Gas – Why? • Low Cost

  10. CNG for Industrial Gas – Why? Low EnvironmentalImpact

  11. CNG for Industrial Gas – Why? • Safer • non-toxic, lighter-than-air and disperses quickly • higher ignition temperature than gasoline and diesel fuel • narrow flammability range and will only burn when the ratio is between 5~15% mixed with air • CNG/NGV systems and storage vessels are built to the highest standards and have long and enviable safety records worldwide

  12. NGVs and Conventional CNG demand

  13. Industrial Gas Concept ‘Daughter’ Station ‘Mother’ Station

  14. End Users Power Plants – Mining - Metals Production - Pulp and Paper - Asphalt Production - Food Processing - Fracking Units - Drill Rigs

  15. Main Components

  16. Pipeline – Gas Source Typically transmission lines (300 psi / 20 bar – 1000 psi / 70 bar) Higher pressure means less compression is required – less energy consumption Location of mother station is often flexible Require gas with low water content or use gas dryer Require natural gas with >90% methane

  17. Compression – ‘Mother’ Station Multiple compressors (500 to 3000 hp is typical) Non-lube technology is important to ensure trailers don’t fill up with oil Electric or engine drive Typical station equipment: • Compressors • Chillers • Fill Posts

  18. Compression – ‘Mother’ Station FullFill Technology ensures that every bulk gas shipment is completed quickly and filled as completely as possible. IMW systems ensure that transport modules are filled at the optimum temperature and gas density through: Integration of proprietary compression technology and comprehensive dispensing architecture PLC controlled continuous thermal management

  19. Transportation Transportation is most significant cost driver of industrial gas products Trailers are made up of small or large cylinders in 4 types: • Type 1 – 100% steel (heaviest, smallest payload, $) • Type 2 – hoop wrapped steel • Type 3 – hoop wrapped aluminum • Type 4 – fully composite (lightest, largest payload, $$$) Some vendors:

  20. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Typical equipment: • Decanting Posts • Pressure Reducing Modules • Heating Control Modules

  21. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Decanting Posts: • Hoses – usually multiple 1” hoses without breakaways • Emergency shut off valves (manual and automatic) • Temperature and pressure measurement • Low temperature construction • Over pressure protection

  22. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Pressure Reducing Module: • Emergency Shut Off valves • Heat exchanger modules to heat gas • 2 stages of pressure regulation • Overpressure protection after both stages of pressure regulation • Optional metering

  23. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Heating Control Module: • Provides heat for PRM heat exchangers • Includes pumps and water control valves • Includes PLC and electrical cabinet

  24. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Other Developments: All in one PRS units for International Customer Mobile PRS for portable applications Large custom units for specific applications

  25. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Maximum Offload Capacity ensures that only a minimal amount of gas is left on the trailer before it is disconnected. This is achieved by: Using two line unloading methodologies where possible Designing systems for minimal pressure drop Employing scavenging compression where necessary to remove remaining gas

  26. Decompression – ‘Daughter’ Station Proven Scalability to provide standard product to custom applications with current systems installed with capacity of up to 14,000 Nm3/h. Provides redundancy, reliability and quality. Can easily add more units if demand increases, or remove equipment and move to several smaller sites once gas pipeline arrives

  27. Case Studies

  28. Urumqi, China • Large central mother station in Urumqi • Many daughter compressor stations nearby to fill vehicles

  29. Cavendish Farms - Canada • 140km round trip • 11 Type 1 tube trailers • Remote, food processing plant • Offsets 22M liters of heavy fuel annually • Flow capacity: 5,600 scfm

  30. Mexico • Type 4 trailers, ~160 km round trip • Provides fuel for Modelo (Corona) Factory • Flow capacity: 16,000 Sm3/h

  31. Australia • Type 3 trailers, ~600 km round trip • Provides fuel for 100MW power plant • Flow capacity: 13,000 Nm3/h
