LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)

What is LNG? LNG as a Vehicle Fuel

Since 2015, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) has been increasingly adopted as a fuel for heavy-duty road transport. Its low emission profile and cost advantage over traditional petroleum-based fuels make it an attractive alternative. Additionally, LNG-powered engines operate more quietly, enhancing driving comfort.

However, due to its cryogenic nature — stored at around -160°C and dispensed between -105°C and -130°C — LNG refueling presents certain technical challenges. Refueling systems must therefore combine ease of use with high efficiency to minimize methane emissions.

With extensive experience and cutting-edge expertise, the Eutech Polska team designs and manufactures advanced LNG refueling systems that prioritize both user-friendliness and environmental performance.

LNG Refueling Stations

1. Stacje publiczne i prywatne/wewnętrzne

LNG refueling station applications can vary in its end-user purposes. Public LNG refueling stations are usually fixed stations with multiple dispensers for serving LNG. Public LNG stations have to comply with MID, or other local requirements in order to sell fuel to the public. On the other hand, in-house LNG systems are designed to be used by private companies that run their own LNG truck fleet.

2. Stacje stacjonarne i mobilne

Most of the LNG fueling infrastructure in Europe exist of many fixed stations. In a fixed LNG refueling stations, re-locating the system is very costly. Although fixed type of LNG refueling applications can offer a high volume of LNG storage, moveable LNG fueling systems can provide great flexibility. Moveable LNG refueling stations are usually designed to work with a fixed LNG storage tank in which re-locating is partially easier but still comes with complications. In order to offer the ultimate solution to LNG refueling, we have designed and manufactured the most compact LNG refueling system: Modulo. This system offers plug & play solution with a storage tank included while providing most comfortable LNG refueling experience.

Parts of LNG Refueling Stations

1. Zbiornik kriogeniczny

All LNG refueling systems are backed by a cryogenic storage tank that tries to keep LNG at around -160°C. Even though well-isolated tanks are trying to keep LNG as cold as possible, it is not an easy task especially in summers. The system as a whole should be designed to minimize the loss in temperature to keep the carbon emission blueprint and fuel costs at the lowest.

2. Dystrybutor LNG

LNG Dispenser is the most used part of an LNG stations. Especially LNG fueling can be challenging because of specific procedures to be followed for both safety reasons and maximizing the system’s life-time. For the wider use of LNG as a road fuel, We have developed the ultimate design of LNG refueling dispenser. Whereas traditional LNG dispensers are hard to operate and complex, Eutech Polska's Smart LNG dispenser offers the most comfortable and safe LNG refueling experience.

3. Pompa kriogeniczna

Cryogenic pumps are one of the main determinants of the systems’ efficiency. Choosing the right cryogenic pump for the different applications are important for the overall performance of LNG system. Well-designed automation and mechanical system can maximize the life-span and efficiency of cryogenic pumps.

4. System sterowania i automatyki

LNG fueling is mostly a mechanical process, in which well-designed automation systems can increase the efficiency, ensure safety, and provide many flexibilities. Eutech Polska Automation Department composing of experienced engineers ensure all Eutech Polska LNG station applications are working flawless.
