Storing natural gas on site through a CNG station could be extremely beneficial for your fleet, but if your station is not properly maintained, it could become a hazard. Whether you have a small station or large operation, it’s very important you take the necessary steps to maintain your space. Check out the following compressed natural gas station maintenance areas.

Ventilation System

Although natural gas is safer for the environment, too much of it in one place can create health and safety hazards. Your CNG operation, no matter the size, needs a properly working ventilation system in place. Be sure to choose the ventilation system that not only matches the size and needs of your operation, but also be sure to have this system regularly maintained to ensure it’s working properly.

Storage System

Having your natural gas on site is convenient, but an improper or broken storage system can allow gas to leak into the air. No matter what type of storage container you have for your station, it needs to be regularly inspected to ensure it’s not only free of leaks, but that it’s the proper storage system for your station’s size and needs.

Detection Systems

CNG stations typically have to adhere to local codes, and this means installing the proper detection systems throughout the area. For instance, natural gas is comprised of methane, so having methane detection systems on hand is a requirement. Aside from simply taking these necessary precautions, you should be sure these detection systems work properly. Have them regularly tested and inspected so you can rest assured your operation is safe.
