NuBlu Energy is proud to expand its portfolio of modular natural gas solutions with the introduction of the
NuBlu VPT-64 Virtual Pipeline Trailer. This innovative mobile CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) storage and pressure reduction system is designed to deliver comprehensive and effective solutions for remote operations, backup supply, and bridging the infrastructure gap in natural gas delivery.
Key Features:
- Storage Capacity: The system boasts an impressive capacity of
64,000 SCF at 4,000 psig, allowing for substantial gas storage and delivery when and where you need it. - Advanced Vessel Technology: It utilizes
Hydria Gas Technologies Type IV lightweight, high-strength composite cylinders, offering superior durability and safety while minimizing weight for easier transportation. - Flexible Pressure Range: Operating within a 200 – 4,000 psig pressure range allows for adaptability to various settings and requirements.
- Compact Trailer Design: The 20’ x 8’ DOT-approved bumper pull trailer ensures easy and efficient mobility across any terrain, making it ideal for field deployments.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Built-in thermal and pressure safety valves (PSV) as well as a comprehensive emergency shutdown (ESD) system ensure maximum safety during operation, protecting both personnel and equipment.
Optional Onboard Pressure Reduction System (PRS):
- Adjustable Outlet Pressure: The PRS provides an adjustable outlet pressure ranging from 5–50 psig, utilizing a Fisher 627BM regulator to enhance usability.
- Flow Rates: Designed for efficiency, the system supports flow rates of 1–15 MSCF/hr, accommodating various operational demands.
- Integrated Heating System: The onboard catalytic process heater maintains discharge temperatures above
35°F, ensuring optimal performance in colder environments.
Power & Control Capabilities:
- Off-Grid Operation: The system is powered by a combination of solar and battery systems, making it ideal for off-grid and remote locations.
- Advanced Control Systems: Utilizing Allen Bradley controls equipped with eWon telemetry enables precise management and monitoring of system operations.
- Remote Monitoring: Users can monitor key parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow, and GPS location remotely, providing real-time insights into system performance.
Operational Workflow:
- Filling the Trailer: The trailer is filled at a designated mother station through a
1” quick-connect fill port, streamlining the refueling process. - Transporting to Site: Once filled, the trailer can be easily transported to the end-user site using a standard pickup truck.
- Connecting & Delivery: Upon arrival, the PRS adjusts the pressure to meet site-specific requirements, ensuring safe and reliable gas delivery at the desired rate.
Applications:
The NuBlu VPT-64 is versatile and effective for various applications, including:
- Supplying industrial or commercial sites lacking direct pipeline access.
- Providing a backup gas supply during outages or maintenance periods.
- Facilitating remote fueling operations for fleets and field projects, ensuring uninterrupted service.
- Bridging infrastructure gaps in newly developed areas, enhancing access to natural gas resources.
The NuBlu VPT-64 offers a comprehensive, field-ready solution that streamlines operations and accelerates deployment timelines. By integrating mobility, storage, pressure reduction, and comprehensive control into a single unit, NuBlu Energy is leading the way toward innovative natural gas solutions that meet the demanding needs of today’s energy landscape.
