Advantages of CNG storage cascades

 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) storage cascades are a method of storing natural gas at different pressure levels and have many advantages, including:

 

Improved safety: CNG storage cascades can store natural gas at different pressures, reducing the risk of leaks and explosions during storage. Lower pressure storage tanks are generally safer and will leak less in the event of an accident.

 

Cost-effectiveness: Adopting CNG storage cascades can reduce the cost of gas storage stations and equipment. Lower pressure storage requires less material and engineering costs, while high-pressure cylinders are suitable where higher gas density and storage capacity are required.

 

Better adaptability: CNG storage cascades offer greater flexibility as it enables the selection of storage vessels with different pressure levels based on demand. This allows the use of CNG in different applications, from automotive fuel to industrial uses.

 

Shorter refueling time: Lower pressure CNG storage tanks allow for faster refueling of natural gas because the gas enters vehicles or other equipment more easily at lower pressures.

 

Lower energy consumption: Less energy is required to compress the natural gas during the lower storage stages of high-pressure gas cylinders. This helps reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

 

Reduced gas losses: In CNG storage cascades, lower pressure storage tanks can be used to reduce gas losses because the gas in the cylinder can be vented more completely when the gas is used in the high-pressure stage.

 

Environmental protection: Using CNG as an alternative fuel source can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be more environmentally friendly. CNG stored at lower pressures generally has lower leak rates, helping to reduce greenhouse gas leaks.

 

Overall, the advantages of CIMC ENRIC CNG storage cascades include improved safety, lower costs, greater adaptability, and help reduce gas losses and energy consumption. This approach has applications in different parts of the CNG supply chain, including transportation, industry and energy production.
