The Galileo Patagonia Smart Station for Liquefied to Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG) is a solution that aims to accelerate the expansion of ‘alternative fuels corridors’ dedicated to all kinds of natural gas vehicles (NGVs).
Its plug-and-play configuration and reduced physical footprint enable fueling stations to be installed with the simple addition of a concrete pad. The Patagonia is designed for fleets, logistics centers, multi-fuel convenience stores and travel plazas, among other locations.
The Patagonia Station delivers a fill rate of 3.2 GGE (Gas Gallon Equivalents) of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) per minute for light-duty and utility vehicles. Its versatile configuration can also dispense high-flow and fast-fill CNG, as well as LNG, for medium and heavy-duty trucks. In addition to its own standard built-in hose, the station is equipped to add dispensers at fueling bays or separate docks so that multiple vehicles can be fueled simultaneously.
For fleet owners, the station provides online, real-time reports on fuel availability and dispensed quantities of LCNG to ensure a firm and continuous supply of fuel delivered over the road via Galileo’s Virtual Pipeline.
The compact and modular design of the Patagonia reduces the amount of space required for installation by as much as 80%. Its single skid-mounted package eliminates the need for on-site LNG pumps, vaporizers, cooling systems and compressors in separate modules. The dispensing unit and its 19,000-gallon LNG storage tank can all fit within 1,500 square feet (ft2).
