A New System for Liquefied Natural Gas Storage & Fueling Stations
An LNG fueling station design/build firm needed to scale up to build fueling stations across the U.S. in order to fuel fleet and semi-truck vehicles equipped with LNG engines.
Challenge
A robust design was needed with requirements for modularization, remote support, integrated safety, and site revision control.
Solution
Cybertrol developed a solution featuring several electrical design and software functions, including:
- Modular 3-bay enclosure electrical designs for differently sized systems, including space for expansion components
- Software created in a modular fashion, with templates for certain functions that could be enabled/disabled
- Methane sensors and fire-eyes wired into a safety PLC and integrated with Fire Alarm Panel
- An assembly process to be able to stock and easily modify systems to ship with a week’s notice
Results
The new system was rolled out to fueling stations across the U.S. — the first network of its kind. Systems are able to be commissioned remotely, allowing for the future of cleaner burning fuels.
