Open Source Gaseous Fuel Compressor

Basics

• A device for compressing combustible gasses {Hydrogen, Syngas, Natural gas/Methane) from low or near atmospheric pressure, to high pressure for storage and transportation via Pipeline Transport
• This does not do much cleaning of the gas, outside of a small failsafe perhaps (Condensate, and Water Traps/Filters?), as that should be done by the Biogas Upgrader stage
• It need clean inputs such as from a Biogas Upgrader
• Uses a Centrifugal Pump, Diaphram Pump or an Ionic Liquid Piston Based Gas Compressor

Industry Standards

Low Pressure Pumps

• BÜHLER Models (Diaphram or peristalic? it says "bellows") ]
• Diaphram Pump ~600 USD, can pump liquid flammibe fuels (gas too then?)

High Pressure Pumps

• An Alibaba Search for Dedicated 250 Bar CNG Compressors minimum seems to be ~3,000 USD

High Pressure Tanks

• Q-Lite Line these seem to be the high end, yet light variety of tank

• According to This Source Most CNG Residential Lines are a MAX of 2 Bar often lower?
