The Aspro IODM 75 compressor, able to operate on natural gas or electricity
Argentine compressor manufacturer, Aspro has begun shipping an updated line of IODM 75 compressors with optional gas engine or electric motor drives. Matias Mangas, Head of Marketing, said the company has already sold more than 30 units of the new model in recent months, with deliveries currently in transit to India and Bangladesh. Mangas says the company is expected high demand from both countries, with Pakistan and parts of Thailand also showing a key interest. Areas with unreliable electricity supplies are proving most popular for the gas drive option. The Aspro IODM 75 line equipment is made up mainly of an horizontal reciprocating compressor, of 2, 3 or 4 compression stages driven by an electric motor or a gas engine with a direct coupling.

Honda's Next Generation Solar Hydrogen Station Prototype
Los Angeles-based Station to Re-fuel Honda Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle
Honda began operation of a next generation Solar Hydrogen Station prototype at the Los Angeles Center of Honda R&D Americas, Inc., intended for ultimate use as a home refueling appliance capable of an overnight refill of fuel cell electric vehicles. Designed as a single, integrated unit to fit in the user’s garage, the station reduces the size of the system, while producing enough hydrogen (0.5kg) via an 8-hour overnight fill for daily commuting (10,000 miles per year) for a fuel cell electric vehicle.

Emerson’s Micro Motion Coriolis Meters MID-Certified – Suited for LNG
November 17, 2009 – 11:23 am
Emerson Micro Motion ELITE Coriolis Meter
Emerson Process Management has obtained an extension to its MID (Measurement Instrument Directive) certificate to include Micro Motion ELITE Coriolis meters for low flow applications. The Micro Motion meters are ideally suited to cryogenic applications for dispensing liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel to motor vehicles, including public transport and trucks. MID certification means that when these new, compact flowmeters are used as a component of a complete measuring system, such as a fuel dispenser, it is not necessary for the dispenser manufacturer to type test and certify the devices – saving both time and money for the dispenser manufacturer.

Tulsa Technologies T7000 Customer Interface Board
Tulsa Gas Technologies has developed a new dispenser – the TGT Series T7000 Dispenser. “Because the boards are produced by TGT in Tulsa (U.S.), they will be easier and faster to service or replace,” the company says. The T7000 is compatible with worldwide voltages.
T7000 series dispensers may be programmed using either a built-in, full-control alphanumeric display with pressure-sensitive keypad, or with a laptop computer via a standard RS-232 connection. TGT also offers its own optional onboard card reader designed to work with the new electronics.
Next from TGT? The T8000, which will incorporate all the functional enhancements of the T7000 but be packaged in a sleek new curvy case, TGT president Tom Sewell told NGV2006 in Cairo.
