Energtek Inc., a developer of Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology, has completed production of what they say is the world’s first Low-Pressure Mobile Pipeline (LMP) semi-trailer. The LMP semi-trailer has been manufactured to transport natural gas to industrial consumers at a pressure of up to 90 bar.
Existing compressed natural gas (CNG) semi-trailers transport comparable quantities of natural gas at a much higher pressure – 200 bar. Energtek says transporting at lower pressure than existing solutions enables capital and operational cost savings.
The proprietary semi-trailer has been designed according to rigorous German standards and is certified by TUV. The semi-trailer is ready to be deployed for commercial use. Energtek is currently organizing a commercial low-pressure gas transportation project and expects to utilize the semi-trailer in the near future.
“The LMP semi-trailer enables the cost-effective transport of natural gas to energy consumers without access to a pipeline,” said Energtek CEO Lev Zaidenberg. “Natural gas is well-known to be cleaner and cheaper than oil-based alternatives.”
