CSA America - Certifying CNG Cylinder Inspectors

CSA America is the only nationally recognized organization certifying CNG cylinder inspectors in the U.S. and Canada. The CSA America CNG Certification program is designed to certify that an individual possesses the body of knowledge recommended by the NGV 2 Standard for CNG Cylinder Containers.

CNG Certification offers the consistent assessment of an individual's proficiency in the area of CNG cylinder inspection, and provides formal recognition of his or her knowledge and understanding. The program helps to reinforce the need for candidates to be adequately trained and then tested to levels of competence set by a committee of acknowledged experts. Procedures are also in place to periodically re-assess certified inspectors to ensure they remain up to date on technical developments and industry changes.

Large LCNG refuelling Station: CRYOSTAR HPP

When large quantities of CNG are needed, Cryostar says LCNG refuelling remains the best economical solution. In order to cope with this demand, Cryostar introduces their new HPP pump. This pump is able to supply up to 5 000 Nm3/h at more than 300 bar for a consumption of 160 kW while compressors can requires more than 1000 kW.

Moreover HPP integrates latest technical developments providing high reliability and optimised maintenance cost for minimum down time.

Through a complete range of LCNG stations (from 80 to 5000 Nm³/h and more), Cryostar provides the right solution for liquid and gas refuelling.

LCNG vs CNG power consumption

LNG requires less power to be pressurized than CNG, due to the fact that LNG takes 630 times less space than CNG at 1 bar and 15°. This means that to pressurize 1 Nm³ of LNG, at 200 bar, a pump will need 1587 cm³ while a compressor will need 5000 cm³ to achieve the same flow.

Conversion Workshop – Bangkok, Thailand

This event has been postponed. NGV Global will advise new dates when they are set. 

Omnitek invites interested parties to sign up for a 3-day workshop in Bangkok Thailand to learn how to convert a diesel engine to natural gas. Participants receive a comprehensive technical manual for easy reference following the workshop.

This three-day course is for fleet owners, engineers and technicians who need to develop and implement an effective routine to convert diesel engines to operate with CNG or LPG.

The workshop provides a complete, in-depth review of current technologies and procedures.
