COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS

CNG

SAFE is a key player in the creation of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations for the automotive market. Our technical expertise has enabled us to design, build and install more than 3000 compression units in the world of Compressed Natural Gas. SAFE is able to respond to any specific requirements with a variety of competitive solutions thanks to: compression units with direct coupling to an electric motor or gas engine, design pressure reduction and measurement systems and storage pack.
Maximum refuelling speed
Minimum energy consumption for compression/decompression
High reliability and availability
Footprint
Scalability

CNG COMPRESSION APPLICATIONS

Pipeline


Public and private stations designed to serve various types of CNG vehicles

Mother station

High capacity CNG stations for trailers. Solution based on heavy duty compressors, high efficiency and performance. Driven by electric motor or gas engine.

Daughter station

Mechanical or hydraulic compressors are suitable for daughter stations to meet Customer requirements.

MRU

Turnkey mobile solution. Available with electric motor or gas engine.

Bus Stations


Different design and refuelling system to provide the best solution to meet differing requirements

Fast filling

A small number of buses refuelled at the same time with the shortest filling time thanks to high flow-rate compressors and fast refuelling dispensers.

Slow filling

All buses are connected to the filling points and are refuelled at the same time. Dispensers without mass meter and electronic head are used.

Sequential ref.

Slow refuelling where buses are refuelled while parked. Sequential filling managed by an automated system (card readers or similar).

AN INCREASINGLY POPULAR ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE

Compared to conventional diesel, natural gas combustion cuts pollutants by half, thus reducing pollution in populated areas. A solution that is increasingly widespread in Italy and throughout Europe: in 2020, a total of 4,000 CNG distributors in Europe, including 1,400 in Italy, contributed to reducing CO2 emissions (g/Km) by 9.1% compared to the previous year. 

COMPARED TO DIESEL:

Fine particles reduction
0%
Nitrogen oxide emissions reduction
0%
Carbon dioxide reduction
0%

GAS TREATMENT

From recompression of the gas in reservoirs to gas turbine feeding, from the underground gas storage of gas underground to flaring and gas gathering: these are the areas of application of the Gas Treatment Division. The “tailor made” approach of SAFE allows each request to be handled by providing a unique and customised response. 

These are compact designs on single or double skid with a compressor on board, coupled to an electric motor or gas engine, as well as all the auxiliaries, including the cooling, filtration and pulsation dampening systems. High levels of safety are guaranteed through soundproof and waterproof enclosures equipped with fire&gas detection and firefighting systems.
