Modular compressed natural gas (CNG) station and method for avoiding fire in such station

摘要

A modular compressed natural gas station, including a modular compact unit with a flat supporting surface, lateral walls and a detachable roof. At least two different areas are defined inside the modular compact unit: a first anti-explosive area where a set of gas storage vessels and a compressor unit are lodged and a second area where an engine for driving said compressor unit and a measuring bridge unit are arranged. The station is capable of being transported and includes connectors for receiving gas from the general gas pipeline and connector for gas dispenser units. The second area also includes a measuring bridge unit for controlling variables of the station and an electrical switching board.
