CNG Daughter Station & Skid-Mounted Substation Systems
A CNG daughter station (substation) is an integrated skid-mounted refueling and booster facility designed to receive compressed natural gas from transport tube trailers and dispense it into natural gas vehicles (NGVs) or industrial networks without direct pipeline infrastructure. Engineered for high residual gas recovery and continuous commercial duty, the system integrates the unloading panel, hydraulic reciprocating compressor, priority filling control panel, ASME/GB storage cascades, and electronic dispensers onto a single or multi-skid modular structure.

Selection Criteria & Engineering Checklist

Trailer Gas Source Profile
Match compressor inlet suction pressure decay curves with standard 20MPa and 25MPa type I/II/III steel or composite tube trailers.

Flow Rate vs. Peak Hour Demand
Calculate hourly dispensing volume to determine whether a 1000 Nm³/h or 2500 Nm³/h flow configuration with multi-bank cascade storage is required.

Ambient Operating Envelope
Specify extreme temperature protection packages (-40°C arctic or +50°C desert conditions) for compressor lube oil, valves, and electrical enclosures.

Residue Gas Optimization
Evaluate the system’s low-pressure suction threshold to ensure maximum gas extraction from incoming trailers, directly reducing per-cube fuel wastage.
Manufacturing, Materials & Quality Control
Structural Skid Fabrication
Structural carbon steel frames welded in compliance with AWS D1.1 standards, blast-cleaned to Sa 2.5, and coated with marine-grade anti-corrosion epoxy primers and polyurethane topcoats.
Pressure Vessel & Piping Integrity

Hydraulic Power Unit Assembly
Precision-machined hydraulic cylinders and proportional control blocks tested for volumetric efficiency, internal bypass leakage, and thermal stability under continuous full-load operation.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
Every fully assembled skid undergoes a 72-hour continuous no-load and full-load gas run test monitoring vibration signatures, discharge temperature, noise levels (<75 dB(A) at 1 meter), and automated PLC interlock safety responses.
Power Supply Alignment
Layout Adaptability
Skid footprints and component orientations (linear, L-shaped, or split configurations) engineered to fit exact plot dimensions and local safety clearance boundaries.
Retail Big Data
