Question 1

Do you provide LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) Solutions

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide LNG services for projects where LNG is more cost effective than CNG.

Question 2

How much does delivered natural gas cost?

Accepted Answer

It can depend on your project's location, your consumption levels and the equipment required.

For projects with larger gas consumption, our CNG can be sold per MMBtu at a price that is less than the equivalent BTU content of propane, LNG or Diesel. Gas costs are quoted on a case by case basis and dependent on the amount of consumption your savings can be substantial.

Question 3

How is natural gas delivered and replenished?

Accepted Answer

CNG Direct delivers a CNG storage trailer to your site that is sized based on your gas consumption. The trailer stays on site feeding a constant supply of pipeline quality natural gas. When the storage trailer is depleted, another trailer is pulled alongside and connected for a seamless transfer of the gas load. There is no interruption of gas supply to the site.

Question 4

Why CNG vs LNG and Propane?

Accepted Answer

CNG transportation is scalable to multiple applications with various consumption rates. Where LNG comes in large 10,000 gallon 50’ cryogenic trailers, CNG can be scaled down to trailers that can be towed by a ¾ ton pickup. CNG is quickly deployable, can fit on smaller sites and has less setup time required. Due to energy density, CNG is often considered safer than LNG and Propane applications.

Question 5

Is compressed natural gas (CNG) safe to use?

Accepted Answer

CNG is the safest form of transporting natural gas. While it is under high pressure, it is stored at ambient temperature in cylinders that are able to withstand high heat and impacts. CNG avoids the dangers of LNG which requires cryogenic storage, requiring careful handling. Natural gas is also lighter than air, so it dissipates into the atmosphere instead of collecting on the ground like Propane. CNG Direct's staff takes every precaution to make sure your work site is safe.

Question 6

What pressure is CNG delivered at?

Accepted Answer

Our CNG tanks operate at a pressure of 3,600PSI. However, gas pressures are regulated down to meet the required pressure for any application. When a CNG tank trailer is connected to your site - it delivers gas at the exact pressure you require - just like a normal gas utility.

Question 7

Where does the natural gas that CNG Direct uses come from?

Accepted Answer

CNG Direct has a few sources of natural gas. Most come directly from the natural gas pipeline.
