Femtobox® is Galileo´s new Plug-and-Play CNG compressor-package,
specifically designed for small NGV fleets and very small
CNG filling-stations. This equipment provides a convenient
and attractive solution for the needs of this market. The
package integrates compression, storage and CNG dispenser
in a single unit.
Femtobox® is Galileo´s answer to very small scale,
simplicity and cost effectiveness requirements.
Like all our products, Galileo´s Femtobox® is an integral
solution. Applying original innovations an efficient refill
is achieved with a compact unit of low cost of installation
and Femtobox® contains all the components necessary to compress
natural gas, refuel NGV vehicles safely, efficiently, reliably-and
report all data anywhere.

Femtobox has no special installation requirements. A simple base-plate gives sufficient support. Because of the low power required and incorporated electric panel, no special electrical installation, nor power transformers, nor external panels are required , and no noise and vibrations are produced by the unit.
Femtobox is supplied in different versions, according to the available natural gas line-pressure. The wide range inlet pressures covered is from 1.5 bar to 30 bars.
The connection to high-pressure gas-lines requires no special installations.
Naturally, like any other compressor, higher inlet pressures result in lower power
For the administration and control of CNG consumption, the owner, the outsourcer or service-operator may require diverse control reports, including data on individual vehicles by date and report period.
Femtobox electronics incorporate an exclusive Internet server, which permits visualization of all kinds of commercial and technical information, from any location, anywhere:
Refueling volumes and sales.
Fleet Management data.
Readout of performance and operative data of the unit.
Maintenance reports, records of preventive maintenance compliance.
Fault detection and alarms.
Access to programs and restrictions guiding all aspects of the Femtobox.
The access and visualization of this information can be subject to four hierarchical levels of authorization.
The CPU and its communications programs allow maintenance personnel to access the read-out of operating parameters while the unit operates.
Also, compliance with Preventive Maintenance schedules can be checked, previous maintenance records recalled, and new reports filed. Assured maintenance for minimum down-time can thus be achieved.
All information about the equipment is accessible via Internet, facilitating an audit program of operations, performance and maintenance of the unit.
