EDM Service, Inc is providing multi-discipline engineering services to support the development of Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) fueling facility network (approximately 25 stations and counting).
NGV Stations produce Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). CNG is a low-cost transportation fuel alternative with a fraction of CO emissions compared to the traditional gasoline fueling. The NGV CNG process includes drying, compression, storage and dispensing of high-pressure natural gas (pressures up to 4,500 psi).
The typical NGV Station design includes:
- Supply Gas Metering,
- Gas Drying,
- High Pressure Compression,
- High Pressure Filtration,
- High Pressure Storage (multiple 5,000 psi ASME pressure vessels),
- Distribution Gas Piping systems (carbon steel and stainless-steel),
- Time Fill Stations (post mounted),
- Fast Fill Stations (post mounted and dispenser types),
- Over-Pressure Protective Systems,
- Reinforced Concrete Foundations,
- Structural Steel Supports,
- Site Development (drainage, grading, fencing, paving, signage),
- Utility Service Coordination and Connections (electric, water, sewer, stormwater),
- Stormwater Pollution Prevent Plans (SWPPP),
- Permitting Services,
- Three-Phase and Single-Phase Transformers,
- Motor Control Centers and Power Distribution Enclosures,
- Electronic Priority Control Panels,
- Security Video Systems,
- Electrical and Control Wiring,
- Area Lighting Systems,
- Grounding Systems,
- Construction Support, and
- As-builts and record drawing preparation.
