Benefits of On Site Natural Gas Refueling • Emissions Reduction • Injury Reduction • Safest Fossil Fuel • Used by many companies for ISO 14001 • Forklift Performance Benefits • Most Convenient Refueling Process • Economic Benefits
Emissions Reduction • Drastically improve indoor air quality with natural gas • Tests have shown that the use of natural gas forklifts can reduce carbon monoxide levels byup to95% Propane Forklift • Carbon monoxide exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and even death
Emissions Reduction Propane vs. Natural Gas Forklift Emissions Test results obtained from: Environmental Research and Development Corp., Gaithersburg, MD., Clean Fuels Inc. Martinsburg WV.
Emissions Reduction • Propane is composed of 3 carbon atoms linked with 8 hydrogen atoms (C3H8) • Propane, which has a more complex chemical makeup than methane, produces higher emission levels Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels? A.CHEMISTRY Propane
Emissions Reduction • Methane is composed of one carbon atom linked with four hydrogen atoms (CH4) • This simple chemical structure provides natural gas with its clean burning characteristics Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels? A. CHEMISTRY Methane
Propane Health & Safety Risks • Back injuries are the #1 workplace injury and generate the highest number of Worker Compensation claims • CNG refueling eliminates injuries caused by the physical handling of propane cylinders • CNG cylinders are permanently mounted on the forklift
Propane Health & Safety Risks • Exposure to liquid propane can cause severe frostbite burns on bare skin • When liquid propane comes in contact with bare skin, it draws heat away from it as it evaporates, causing frostbite • CNG, which is naturally in a gaseous state, does not change states when exposed to the atmosphere
Propane Health & Safety Risks • Propane is extremely flammable – Fire Hazard The use of natural gas means no on-site storage of flammable liquids • CNG is less flammable due to its higher ignition point • CNG is lighter than air, so it rises & dissipates rapidly
Natural Gas Forklift Benefits • Longer engine life and less frequent maintenance (oil is not contaminated by fuel, minimal carbon build-up) • Reduced maintenance costs • No engine knock due to high octane level (130 vs. 110) • Natural gas is also the best cold starting fuel available Benefits of fueling your forklifts with CNG vs. LPG:
Economics & Cost-Savings The System pays for itself with no capital investment required! Your current monthly propane budget pays for the CNG system: • Current Propane Cost = • higher CO • back injury risk • frostbite potential • productivity losses • air makeup costs Natural Gas + All in Lease (refueling system & forklift conversion) • Cleaner Air • Safer Workplace • Injury Reduction
Electric Forklifts • Substantial floor space is required • Specific area is required for battery charging and exchange area • Specific area is required for battery wash – must include special filter processing to remove hazardous contaminants from the waste water • Specific area is required for employee wash in the event of hazardous liquid spill
Electric Forklifts • Using a hazardous product • Recharging process emits hazardous gases and fumes that must be vented to the outdoors • Safety equipment is required to be worn during the battery maintenance and changing process • Excessive battery handling can lead to premature battery failure
Electric Forklifts • Significant costs and missed production opportunities • Lack of battery maintenance can result in replacement of costly batteries • Productivity loss due to time required for handling batteries
FuelMaker CNG Fueling System • A quick fill in just 2 minutes • No need to change fuel cylinders or batteries • No indoor space required • Refuel directly to the permanently mounted CNG cylinder • No safety equipment is required to be worn • Eliminate risks associated with on-site propane storage • Increase productivity with ‘opportunity’ refueling With FuelMaker, refueling is simple and convenient: • NO Investment or Capital Required!
Benefits of Natural Gas • Natural Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel available • up to 95% cleaner than propane emissions • Natural Gas is the safest fossil fuel available • over 75% of homes & business’s in Canada use Natural Gas • Natural Gas is the most convenient fossil fuel available • if your facility has Natural Gas, we can install a station • Natural Gas is the most economical fossil fuel • especially true when compared to current electricity costs
