most frequently asked questions

1

What is SNG, and where is it applied?

Created with Pixso.
Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) is a gas obtained by blending air with any gas or gas mixture, having a calorific value equal to the calorific value of methane. Information on blending Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) with air is presented on our website. SNG is used to replace natural gas in industrial enterprises, gas power plants, and is applied for the gasification of settlements (cities, districts, villages). SNG can also be referred to as gas containing methane (CH4), obtained through coal gasification. Bio-SNG can be called gas containing methane, obtained through biomass gasification or biogas recovered from landfills, but bio-SNG can also be referred to as gas obtained in the process of blending bio-LPG with air.

What is the cost of SNG system and how to choose the equipment?

Created with Pixso.
To select the appropriate equipment and estimate costs, four main parameters need to be considered: 1. Maximum flow of SNG or natural gas per hour in normal cubic meters (Q = ? Nm3/h or MMBTU/h). 2. Gas pressure at the connection point (P = ? from 0.035 to 10 bar or from 0.5 to 145 psi). 3. Required calorific value of the gas (heat of combustion), for example, for natural gas 8,900 kcal/m3 (1000 BTU/Cu.Ft.), but some facilities in the European Union may use nitrogen-enriched gas, and its calorific value may be 5,260 kcal/m3 (22.0 Mj/m3). 4. Propane and butane ratios in LPG gas, for example, 60% propane and 40% butane. 5. The installation costs of SNG systems are several times lower than the installation costs of LNG for industrial enterprises. Please leave us your request on our website with the above-mentioned parameters, and we will send you an offer for connecting the SNG system.

What is SNG blender (LPG Air Blender)?

Created with Pixso.
SNG-blender, is a device where LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and air are automatically mixed under high pressure in the required ratio, producing SNG gas (synthetic natural gas) with properties similar to natural gas (NG). The SNG-blender is characterized by its precision, automated gas mixing process, and a broad range of adjustments for calorific value and pressure.

(BioLPG) BioPropan, bioDME - what is it? Can BioLPG be used for transportation?

Created with Pixso.
BioLPG, also known as BioPropan, is a type of gaseous fuel that is identical in composition and chemical properties to traditional liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) but is produced from organic materials or waste. The BioLPG production process may involve processing various organic raw materials such as sewage sludge, agricultural residues, sawmill waste, and even bioethanol or the synthesis of renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Currently, BioLPG finds practical application in gas supply systems in the United Kingdom. One of the interesting technologies is the production of DME, which stands for dimethyl ether, a gas similar to propane. DME can serve as both a finished product and an intermediate raw material for the production of biopropane. Its main source of production is the dehydration of methanol. Various raw materials are used for production, including biomass, waste, wood, agricultural products, as well as fossil fuels such as gas and coal. DME can be blended with LPG in proportions of 20% for household purposes (heating and cooking) and 25% - 30% for transportation purposes.

Gas System Design

Developing a gas system takes not only technical aptitude and conformity with regulations, but also a profound understanding of customer needs, safety standards, and operational efficiency. At I-Maximum, we specialize in creating reliable, comprehensive, and tailored gas system designs for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Our design services are based on years of experience and commitment to quality, guaranteeing that each system that we develop complies with the strictest requirements for safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Comprehensive Approach to Gas System Design

A properly designed gas system is the core of a safe and efficient energy infrastructure. Our team of qualified engineers and project managers starts each project by thoroughly analyzing the unique conditions and aims of the customer. Whether it is a small facility or a complex industrial site, we elaborate a gas system that fits the scale and specifics of the installation.

The usual I-Maximum design process includes the following steps:

  • Initial site assessment and evaluation of local peculiarities.

  • Economic and technical feasibility study.

  • Selection of the appropriate gas equipment and related components.

  • Creation of detailed engineering documentation and layout drawings.

  • Coordination with regulatory authorities for approval and certification.

The holistic approach ensures that all aspects of the gas infrastructure are accurately engineered for leveraged performance.

Key Elements of a Modern Gas Distribution System

Every properly devised gas system relies on integrating the right components into a single cohesive network. At I-Maximum we especially focus on the coordination between gas tanks, vaporizers, pipelines, valves, pressure regulators, and safety devices. The goal is to achieve continuous and safe gas flow under different operational conditions.

Our engineers select and configure components that are based on many factors, including the type of gas used (LPG, propane-air mix, natural gas), required pressure and flow rates, environmental conditions, and operational load and peak demand scenarios.

All these aspects are carefully considered to prevent under- or over-dimensioning, which could cause system failures or inefficiencies.

Moreover, we take into account possible future scalability. Our gas system designs are adaptable, allowing for the integration of additional units or system expansion with minimal downtime.

Safety and Compliance as Core Principles

Safety is a paramount concern in the design of gas systems. Our company strictly adheres to international and local regulations, such as EN, ISO, and national gas safety codes. From explosion protection zones to emergency shut-off systems, every element is embedded with attention to risk mitigation.

All our gas distribution system designs are integrated with safety systems that protect both staff and equipment. These systems include the following points:

  • Gas leak detection sensors and alarms.

  • Overpressure protection with relief valves.

  • Emergency shutdown valves with remote control options.

  • Profound ventilation system in enclosed areas.

  • Grounding and lightning protection for above-ground applications.

By providing safety in the design from the very beginning, we help our customers avoid possible hazards, decrease insurance risks, and meet the inspection requirements during commissioning.
