Compressed Natural Gas CNG pressure reduction systems play a crucial role in regulating gas pressure from high levels to safe levels before use in equipment and production lines. Regular maintenance and repair not only ensure stable system operation but also guarantee safety, save costs, and extend equipment lifespan.

Why is regular maintenance of CNG pressure reduction systems necessary?

  •  Prevents gas leaks, reducing the risk of fire and explosion.

  •  Ensures stable output pressure that meets technical standards.

  •  Minimizes unexpected breakdowns, avoiding production interruptions.

  •  Reduces major repair and equipment replacement costs.

Service and Maintenance Scope

We provide comprehensive services for CNG pressure reducing systems, including:

  • Overall inspection of the station and pressure reducing unit

  • Cleaning and calibration of primary and secondary pressure reducing valves

  • Inspection and replacement of valve diaphragms, seals, and gaskets

  • Assessment of the accuracy of pressure gauges and sensors

  • Addressing gas leaks, vibrations, and unstable pressure reduction

  • Repair or replacement of damaged components

  • Testing, calibration, and acceptance of the system after maintenance

Purpose of the procedure:

  • List in detail the equipment requiring maintenance.

  • List the details and sequence of steps during maintenance to avoid incidents affecting people and equipment.

Preparation steps before maintenance:

  • Ensure the plant has stopped using gas.

  • Disconnect the coupling cable of the tanker truck from the filling station.

Notes during maintenance:

  •  Before disassembling the equipment, isolate both ends of the equipment and purge all the gas inside.

  •  Prepare fire extinguishers at the maintenance site.

 

Service process

■ Conduct a general inspection of the CNG station foundation, fences, and signs of corrosion;
■ Check the safety signs around the station; inspect the electrical cabinets.
■ Inspect the power distribution cabinet and control panel.
■  Check the water heating pump; Check the heating element (resistance); Check the operation of the solenoid valve;
■ Check the operation of the electrode probe (water level indicator); Check the boiler's backup water tank.
 

4. Check the loading manifold connected to the CNG tanker.

■ Check the female connector and coupling wire; Check the pressure gauge on the charging column; Check the coupling wire support; Check the grounding clamp.

■ Check the emergency shut-off system, check the filter; first-stage pressure regulating valve; second-stage pressure regulating valve.
■ Check for leaks in pipes and joints; check the pressure and temperature gauges on the system (mechanical);
■ Check the tightening torque at the high-pressure tube connections; check the nitrogen gas cylinder pressure.

6. Monitoring and testing of CNG station systems

■ Check the inspection validity period of the equipment.
■ Calibrating metering devices
