The Application
What is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)?
CNG Filters – Design and Accessories
CNG is natural gas that is highly compressed and stored in thick-walled steel, aluminum, or composite high-pressure storage containers.
CNG is a clear and non-corrosive alternative transportation fuel for automobiles, trucks and buses. Its use is becoming more and more
popular because it is less expensive than gasoline and it is far more friendly to the environment with reductions of CO2,
nitrous-oxide, and particulate emissions. As a result, many governments financially encourage the conversion and use of this alternative
fuel as an energy source.
• Filter Elements: The core of a compressed gas filter separates levels
of contaminants from the compressed gas, depending on the filter media and grade.
The element permanently captures the solid particles. It then requires periodic
replacement dependent on the level of contamination.
The Problem
In NGV Fueling Stations, natural gas is taken from a pipeline and compressed to pressures ranging from 2000 psig up to 6000 psig.
The resulting CNG is then stored in large tanks before making its way to a gas dispenser where it is ready for use in vehicles.
CNG, like all fuels, experiences contamination as it travels from pipeline to dispenser. Like traditional fuels, solids collect during handling,
water condenses in tanks, and compressor lube oils carry over into the CNG stream. Contaminants are also present within the delivery
system that can lead to compressor fouling, vehicle fuel system repair, liquids in storage tanks, and gas dispenser replacement.
The Solution
Filters are essential for compressed natural gas treatment and are present throughout the treatment chain. CNG filters remove
all types of solid and liquid contaminants in stages — large amounts of condensate and coarse contamination particles such
as rust, abrasion particles, oil droplets, and dust in the first stages; fine oil mist and fine dust particles in subsequent stages. Compressed
gas filters containing activated carbon also remove oil and oil vapour.
• Filter Housings: Pressure housings with a method for supporting the filter element,
a compressed gas inlet and outlet with the flow paths to and from the filter element,
a condensate outlet for discharging separated liquids, and connections for monitoring
the differential pressure across the filter element.
Oil Indicator
• Differential Pressure Gauges: Measure the differential pressure across the filter
element. They indicate when a filter element needs to be replaced, either because
it has reached the end of its useful life, or large amount of contamination
has been discharged upstream.
• Manual Condensate Drains: Used for manually discharging the separated liquids
and for pressure relief of the filter.
• Oil Indicators: Measure the oil aerosol content in the compressed gas. Oil indicators
are mainly used to determine the saturation level and whether an activated carbon
filter needs to be replaced.

liquid condensate reduces the drying efficiency of the desiccant

both contaminants must be effectively removed upstream of

Overview
What best in class looks like
Surface Protection
Filter Media Designed For Natural Gas
The high-grade, cast aluminum filter housings (XL and XM series) are chromatized for
corrosion protection and finished with an impact and abrasion-proof powder coating on
the outer side. High pressure carbon steel housings (XH series) are manufactured by
means of iron phosphate passivation and have a nickel-coated finish. This multi-layer
surface protection ensures high resistance and a long service life.
High quality compressed gas filtration starts with selecting the correct filter media.
Xebec uses superior-quality filter media with a new hybrid technology. Xebec elements
stop the perpetual discussion about the use of filter media with or without binders
because they are layered with both types, tailored to the filtration task. The fine filter
media is protected on both sides using a supporting fabric to increase both stability
and reliability.
Conformity with International Standards
The X Series has been performance validated according to ISO8573 quality standards
and ISO test methods by IUTA, an independent verification body. All filters have been
tested to ASME standards, are CRN pending and comply with EU Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED) 97/23/EC.
An Optimized Accessories Range –
Perfectly Simple
Pleated Filter Elements
Pleated filter elements provide significantly greater filtration volumes than non-pleated.
The higher filter volume provides more void space for holding contaminants which
reduces the differential pressure caused by retention of solid particles. The service
life of the filter element increases proportionally which results in operating and
maintenance cost savings.
Incorporated Drainage Media
• Differential pressure gauges
• Assembly kits
The filter and drainage media are compacted between two stainless steel supporting
cylinders, eliminating any potential detachment of the filter media. The drainage media
is located inside the filter element, eliminating potential handling damage. The stainless
steel cylinders have big, diamond-shaped openings for optimum flow conditions.
Compared to punch-hole versions, their contribution to differential pressure is much
lower and they are much more environmentally friendly because they are made from
expanded sheet metal, i.e. without metal scrap during the production process.
Simple Design. Easy Maintenance.
2-Stage Dry-Type Separation
Xebec filters have lugs in the lower filter part to which the filter element is securely
mounted, fastened and sealed when the housing is screwed tight. That eliminates the
need for a tie rod, which allows the filter to be located only a few inches above ground
level. A mechanical end stop prevents the housing thread from being overstressed and
ensures easy opening of the filter housing even after prolonged operating periods. A
hex-nut at the bottom of the bowl has been added for extra help. The filter element
holder has guide paths in order for the filter element to be automatically locked in the
holder when being installed.
During dry-type separation with out-to-inside flow through the filter elements, the
drainage media functions as a pre-filter stage, preventing coarse contaminants
from entering the fine filter media. As a result, the differential pressure caused by
contaminants is reduced and the service life of the filter is extended. As an additional
advantage, the filter elements can also be used for wet type filtration.
• Oil Indicators
• Condensate drains
Abrasion-free Activated Carbon Filter
with 100% Activated Carbon
Both the filter element type and the cartridge type contain pure activated carbon
granulate. The increased filling quantities contribute to a high separation performance
and a long service life. Both the filter elements and the cartridges have an integrated
general purpose filter element which significantly reduces the abrasion particles of
the activated carbon. As a result, downstream dust filtration is not required, reducing
installation, operation and maintenance costs.

-
Large, heavy amounts of liquid droplets or particles from a compressed gas flow are
separated by means of gravitational forces, centrifugal forces, inertial effects, etc. The
differential pressure is constant and a high separation efficiency is guaranteed over the
whole specified flow rate range.
Dry Type Filtration
Solid contaminants are separated from the compressed gas system. The solids contact
the fibres of the filter media where they remain. A coarse and a fine coarse media filter
protects the fine filter media, increasing the service life. The differential pressure (dry)
increases with an increasing amount of contaminant. The elements can be operated from
inside to out or vice versa. The preferred direction of flow is toward the finer filter fibres,
i.e. from out-to-in.

Wet Type Filtration
Liquid contaminants from the compressed gas flow are separated using a fine
multi-layer filter media in combination with a drainage media (coalescing filter). The
liquid contaminants contact the fibres of the fine filter media, move along the fibres
due to the compressed gas flow and form larger droplets when they are merged
(coalescing effect). The droplets are absorbed by the drainage media, discharged to
the filter element bottom due to gravitational forces, and drop off the filter element.
Theoretically, the differential pressure (wet) is constant. However, it rises as the filter
element is continuously loaded with liquid and solid contaminants. The direction of flow
is toward the drainage media, i.e. from in-to-out.

Flow Capacity*
Compressed gas flow is separated by means of absorption to activated carbon. The
CNG becomes virtually oil-free which cannot condense into a liquid any more. There is
often a filter media downstream of the activated carbon in order to eliminate activated
carbon abrasion particles (abrasion-free activated carbon filter). The differential
pressure (dry) is constant. The direction of flow is always toward the media, i.e. from
in-to-out. Liquid oil or water would dramatically reduce the retention capacity of the
activated carbon for oil vapour and should, therefore, be separated in advance using
appropriate grade filters.
