Adsorbed Natural Gas presents storage or cost advantages in both low-pressure and high-pressure applications.
Low Pressure ANG
Low-pressure ANG tanks (35-65 bars), providing cost-performance characteristics similar to CNG, cut refueling infrastructures capital and operation costs significantly.
• ANG station capital cost is significantly lower than that of CNG. An ANG compressor can cost one fifth the price of a CNG compressor. • Due to the much lower compression level, ANG refueling consumes one-third to one-half less energy than CNG refuelling. • Taking into account the lower cost of equipment, its relatively simplicity and lower physical amortization - station maintenance expenses will be correspondingly lower • Total ANG fuel cost at pump will be lower than CNG, thus making NGV more attractive for both potential user and gas companies
High Pressure ANG
Extended Driving Range
Angstore high-pressure ANG tanks currently allow up-to 50% increase of NGV driving range in comparison with CNG tanks of the same volume. In particular, Increase in the fuel capacity of NGV tanks is crucial for the introduction of NG fueling for most heavy trucks and passenger or cargo vehicles in intercity operation, as well as for high-performance cars and vans.
Reduced tank volume
High-pressure ANG technology can reduce the tank volume for a given driving range. This simplifies the introduction of NG fueling for small vehicles with limited free space. Reduction of on-board tanks volume is especially important for:
• Mini and Micro Cars • Taxis in need of luggage storage while using CNG cylinder tanks
