The filling solution for large CNG stations.

Gigabox™

The filling solution for large CNG stations.

Our Gigabox CNG compressor packages are intrinsically safe and do not require concrete walls around the perimeter. A gas reciprocating compressor, a pressure regulation plant, electrical board and a measuring system are combined into a single module and require simply a single authorization. As a result, our plug-and-play configuration simply requires a small amount of space and allows for high-rise installations in CNG filling stations and in a variety of other industries.

The filling solution for large CNG stations.

Main features

The standard Gigabox configurations are designed to offer fast installation and high availability rates at low operation and maintenance costs.

Plug-and-play

The Gigabox units are equipped with an armored cabin that features all the elements required for a safe operation. Installation and commissioning only takes 10 days and can be authorized by a single party*.

*Compared to the commissioning of traditional compressors that take 40-90 days of civil works, electromechanical installations and the integration and enablement of multiple third-party components.

Modularity and multiple applications

The Gigabox modular configuration facilitates the capacity scalability depending upon increase in demand, as well as the gas compression requirements of CNG filling stations, industrial plants, Virtual Pipeline™ mother stations, biomethane plants or for peak shaving applications.

 

Compact design

Without the need of a bunker construction, the Gigabox’s compact and intrinsically safe structure requires only a few square feet for operation and maintenance. Furthermore, high-rise installations are possible due to their skid assembly and low vibration rate.

Wide range of inlet pressures

Our MX Compressors work with inlet pressures that range from approximately 0.1 to 60 bar. These gas reciprocating compressors adapt to different conditions and ensure the required CNG flow rate. In addition, the inlet pressures are kept constant by an axial flow regulator that does not affect the CNG flow.

Priority panel

A single or multiple path panel manages the CNG flow and offers an optimal dispatch capacity as well as efficient storage management.

Coalescing filter

A built-in coalescing filter is incorporated and ensures CNG with minimum levels of oil. Oil Free compressors are also available for heavy-duty applications.

Programmable and unloaded start-up

The MX Compressors start-up and stop parameters can be adjusted to consumption levels. In addition, integrated by-pass valves unload the compressor gas before stopping, thus reducing power consumption and equipment wear.

Consumo eléctrico reducido

Reduced power consumption

The direct coupling of the MX Compressors to the main drive reduces power consumption by 6%, compared to the power usage of traditional transmission belt systems.

Vibration free

The laser shaft-alignment technology applied to the compressor-engine assembly alleviates the need for anti-vibration systems.

Programmable alerts and 24/7 monitoring

Complemented by our proprietary Galileo Global Link - Scada System, a set of programmable alerts guarantees immediate preventive and corrective action on all operating parameters.

Air cooling system

The CNG cylinders and refrigeration system configuration eliminates the need for high-cost water cooling systems.

Integrated lubrication management system

Pre-lubrication pump

Ensures optimal lubrication even under intermittent operating conditions.

Automatic oil replenishment system

Provides you at least 7 days of unmanned operations.

Hydrates and oil purge system

Automates one of the most important maintenance operations.

Controlled lubrication

Minimal oil injection by lubrication blocks ensuring the maximum protection of the equipment.

Optional features

Our customized configurations maximize Gigabox's benefits and boost your operation profitability.

Energy efficiency

Power savings with Enersave™

Our proprietary Enersave system adjusts power consumption to CNG demand, thus reducing your power costs by 50%.

High pressure kit*

Working at a 350 bar pressure, this kit greatly increases the CNG storage capacity.

* The use of this kit depends on the pressure levels authorized by local regulations.

Variable speed fans

Fan speed varies depending on the gas temperature, thus reducing the noise level, start-up peaks and power consumption.

Optimized filling

Enhanced dispatch with Coldbox™

Coldbox reduces the heat that is generated when refueling. This results in a 15% increase in dispatched CNG, saving you on operating costs.

Oil-free compressors

Oil-free piston rings and piston rod packings are available for special applications.

Compliance with local regulations

Components are in compliance with CE and UL standards
