A CNG Pump Station is a fuel filling station dedicated to the refilling of compressed natural gas or CNG fuel tank-fitted vehicles. CNG is a gaseous fuel and a mixture of hydrocarbons. It mainly consists of methane in the range of 89 per cent to 90 per cent. Owing to its low density, CNG will be compressed to a pressure of 200-250 kg/cm square (g) to improve the vehicle’s onboard storage capacity.
The growing levels of air pollution and its effect on the environment have forced many vehicle manufacturers to come up with an alternative source of fuel in place of the traditional ones like petrol and diesel.
CNG, being an eco-friendly, harmless fuel, has seen rampant growth in terms of users as many have switched their vehicles to run on CNG-fitted ones over the last few years.
