While there are several Natural
Gas transport systems, Virtual
Pipeline® differentiates from other systems
available in the market.
Advantages:
1.
Great "flexibility" that maximizes the
transported gas usage. No need to wait until all
the gas at the consumption point is petered out
to change modules (situation typical of the classic
tube trailer). With the Virtual
Pipeline® system, only the empty MAT
modules are replaced, thus minimizing transport
waiting times.
2.
Thanks to the Rotary Cascade system, 93% of the
transported gas is used in CNG Daughter Station
and all the customers refill at 200 bar. In traditional
systems, no more than 54% of the transported gas
is used, and a large percentage of vehicles ends
up with their refill under 200 bar.
3.
In short, the operating costs per m3 of the gas
transported through Virtual
Pipeline®e will be lower than any current
road gas transport system.
4.
As the System includes all the necessary elements,
from compression to decompression, Galileo ensures
a smooth operation of all the components. Likewise,
the customer operates with a single accountable
person in order to avoid responsibility overlap.
5.
Virtual Pipeline®
includes the following safety systems:
 |
Impact-resistant
modules: through a finite element analysis,
the modules have been designed in order to resist
impacts due to improper operation. |
 |
Fire and explosion-proof system: the
MATs modules
include an exclusive explosion-proof system
which ensures road gas transport. |
 |
Linking system joined to module chassis:
it ensures that the modules are properly fastened
to the trailer during transport. |
 |
Telecontrol
System: Virtual Pipeline includes a SCADA
system in order to monitor its proper operation.
This helps to know the online status of all
the safety variables and systems which make
up the system. |
