Natural Gas
Widely, Natural Gas is used as alternative fuel for the automotive sector.
The use of Natural Gas as a fuel has numerous advantages, mainly for the environment.
In fact, it allows a reduction of CO2 emissions of about 33%, of nitrogen oxides of about 75%, and of fine dust of about 97%, making an extremely significant contribution to the reduction of pollution produced by cars and by other transportation means.
To reach the distribution grid from various sources like Pipeline networks or Bio-Gas production plants, just to mention a few, Natural Gas has to be either:
Main Features
GI&E has developed its own standardized line of CNG Modules.
CNG module is made of a reciprocating vertical compressor with fully loaded cylinders specifically designed for CNG refueling.
The 1 to 4 stages GI&E compressor has a final discharge pressure up to 250 bar.
Compared with traditional products, GI&E machine innovative design structure allows a dramatic reduction in vibration, improving reliability and reducing noise level, even in heavier running conditions.
The standard type of compressor is designed by GI&E to offer to our Customers the best plant solution in terms of reliability and performance, favoring both energy efficiency (= low operating costs) and easy plant erection (= low cost of building and maintenance).
At GI&E, we have developed different standardized solutions based on flow requirement:
- CS line
- CM line
- CL line
In Micro LNG plants, Natural Gas is compressed to 15, 20, 30 or 40 bar and liquefied at -160°C through a cryogenic heat exchanger. Product is finally stored in a cryogenic vessel.
GI&E Vertical Compressor can be used to compress Natural Gas inside a refrigeration system that pre-cools a combined flow of gas from the distribution network and refrigerant.
