How a sorting center uses a CNG fueling station to power its household waste bins ?

Based in the South of France, this sorting center was seeking an alternative solution for refueling its 14 household waste bins. The waste recycling service operator opted to install a natural gas refueling station on its site.

The center's geographic location, close to residential areas, imposes strict constraints.                                                          The refueling station not only had to be secure but also minimize noise disturbances for the neighborhood.

How did Blocalps and TSG develop a customized CNG station for the sorting center?

In collaboration with Blocalps, TSG addressed these requirements by offering the EVOBLOC CNG fueling station.

Delivered turnkey, this compact, customizable, and scalable solution offers numerous benefits for the recycling center

Technical and safety performance:

• Two high-performance compressors: Each capable of 40 Nm³/h, ensuring reliable refueling of the household waste bins.
• Large storage capacity across 3 banks for optimized rapid charging: 24 cylinders of 80 liters at 330 Bar, providing a total capacity of 1920 liters.
• Fast refueling: A logistical advantage for efficient servicing of the BOM.
• Durability: Closed module and galvanized steel cladding protect equipment from weather conditions.

The CNG station is equipped with:

• 2-hour fire-rated modules and a fire detection system based on temperature differential, with a visual alarm for anomalies.
• CH4 detector: In case of gas leaks, triggers audible and visual alarms, with information relayed via a management system for remote monitoring.
• Ventilation system: Ensures a flow of 12000 m³/h for adequate ventilation.

What are the benefits of this containerized gas station?

• Modularity and customization: Designed to meet specific site needs in terms of functionality and constraints.
• Optimized soundproofing: Thanks to high-performance acoustic panels, the EVOBLOC station reduces noise disturbances, providing an ideal solution to neighborhood concerns.

In conclusion, the EVOBLOC CNG fueling station, developed by Blocalps and TSG, offers an innovative, secure, and environmentally-friendly solution for refueling household waste skips and other community vehicles. It meets safety and acoustic comfort requirements imposed by nearby residences.
