Cenergy Solutions and Catalina Composites to manufacture adsorbent natural gas cylinders

May 8, 2017
Catalina Composites has already manufactured and tested several sizes of these new low-pressure ANG cylinders making them FMVSS certified and DOT-compliant.

Cenergy Solutions entered into an exclusive agreement with Catalina Composites (division of Catalina Cylinders), to develop, design and manufacture Adsorbent Natural Gas (ANG) cylinders for natural gas vehicles.

Catalina Composites has already manufactured and tested several sizes of these new low-pressure ANG cylinders making them FMVSS certified and DOT-compliant.

Cenergy Solutions installed one of these new ANG cylinders on a Nissan truck that was shown at the Altfuel Expo in Mexico City this year. This ANG cylinder has a working pressure of 650 psi and can be filled at home or at a business with Cenergy Solutions’ new certified compressor that is approved for use in the US and Canada.

“Cenergy Solutions has made major breakthroughs with adsorbent natural/biogas storage that will not only help the world with its energy needs but will also help to capture and store natural and biogas throughout the world," said Gary Fanger, COO of Cenergy Solutions. "This is the technology that will keep methane from escaping into our atmosphere and allow it to be put to good use in gasoline and diesel vehicles. The joint development agreement with Catalina Cylinders has been very fruitful allowing us to design, manufacture and test new high tech ANG tanks that are now ready for sale to approved NGV up fitters."
