What are decompression, regulation and measuring compressed natural gas stations?

Using natural gas is an energy alternative that meets the requirements of the industry with economic and ecological benefits; therefore, the demand continues to increase. However, despite the limitations in the infrastructure of pipelines for its distribution slowing down its use, it is currently possible to access natural gas through other options.

The distribution of natural gas is carried out in three possible ways: through pipelines, in the form of liquefied natural gas, or as compressed natural gas. In the latter case, CNG is stored at a pressure of 200 to 250 Atm in the gaseous state to be able to transport it to where it is required.

The possibility of transporting natural gas in areas where there is no pipeline infrastructure allows end users to take advantage of using CNG in their commercial or industrial processes, and thus avoid the use of other fuels with a higher rate of pollution and at a cost less.

However, the high pressure in which it is transported does not make it possible to use it directly, so a decompression, regulation and measurement station of compressed natural gas is necessary to be able to take advantage of it, since it reduces the pressure of the natural gas, thereby it becomes between 2 and 4 bar.

Another purpose of the decompression, regulation and measurement station is to maintain the supply of natural gas in a constant way in terms of pressure, in such a way as to ensure optimal operation of the process in which it is being used and is automatically adjusted accordingly. to the required flow.

It should be remembered that any implement used in the management of natural gas, as well as the procedures carried out, must comply with the minimum safety requirements demanded in current regulations, in addition to constant supervision and maintenance that ensure optimal operation and safety for those who use it. found in the immediate environment.
