 The Application
What is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)? CNG Filters – Design and Accessories
CNG is natural gas that is highly compressed and stored in thick-walled steel, aluminum, or composite high-pressure storage containers. • Filter Elements: The core of a compressed gas filter separates levels
CNG is a clear and non-corrosive alternative transportation fuel for automobiles, trucks and buses. Its use is becoming more and more of contaminants from the compressed gas, depending on the filter media and grade.

nitrous-oxide, and particulate emissions. As a result, many governments financially encourage the conversion and use of this alternative replacement dependent on the level of contamination.

In NGV Fueling Stations, natural gas is taken from a pipeline and compressed to pressures ranging from 2000 psig up to 6000 psig. • Differential Pressure Gauges: Measure the differential pressure across the filter
