How does a sorting center use a CNG service station to fuel its garbage trucks (BOM)?

Based in the south of France, this sorting center was seeking an alternative solution to refuel its fleet of 14 garbage trucks (BOM). The waste recycling service operator opted for the installation of a natural gas refueling station on its premises.

The geographical location of the sorting center, near residential areas, imposed strict constraints.
The refueling station had to be not only secure but also designed to minimize noise disturbances for the surrounding neighborhood.

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

TSG, in collaboration with BLOCALPS, addressed these requirements by delivering the CNG service station.
Delivered as a turnkey solution, this compact, customizable, and scalable station offers numerous advantages for the recycling center.

Technical and safety features:

• Two high-performance compressors: with a capacity of 40 Nm³/h each, they ensure reliable refueling for the garbage trucks.
• Large storage capacity in 3 banks for optimized fast charging : 24 bottles of 80 liters each at 330 Bar, providing a total capacity of 1920 liters.
• Fast refueling :  a significant logistical advantage for efficient BOM refueling.
• Durable design: its closed module and galvanized steel paneling protect the equipment from weather conditions.

The CNG station is equipped with:

• Two-hour fireproof modules and a fire detection system:
  based on temperature differentials, with a visual alert system for anomalies.
• CH4 detector:
  in case of a gas leak, an audible and visual alarm is triggered, and data is transmitted via an automated system for remote monitoring.
• Ventilation system:
  ensuring a 1200 m³/h airflow for adequate ventilation.

What are the advantages of this containerized gas station?

• Modularity and customization:
  designed to meet the specific needs of each site in terms of functionality and constraints.
• Optimized soundproofing:
  thanks to high-performance acoustic panels, the EVOBLOC station minimizes noise pollution, providing an ideal solution for neighborhood concerns.

In conclusion, the EVOBLOC CNG service station, designed by Blocalps and TSG, offers an innovative, secure, and environmentally friendly solution for refueling BOM fleets and other municipal vehicles. It meets the strict safety and acoustic comfort standards required by its proximity to residential areas.

Highlighting the collaboration with TSG, TSG precisely identified the client's needs and challenges and collaborated with Blocalps to design a containerized, plug-and-play CNG station tailored to the sorting center's requirements.
