What is LNG?
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas in a liquid phase at a temperature of -160ºC, and is therefore considered a cryogenic liquid. It is stored and transported in highly insulated containers to maintain its liquid state, occupying a smaller volume and yielding approximately 570 litres of gaseous natural gas at room temperature.
LNG is 95% methane (CH4) and contains minor proportions of ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It is an odourless, colourless fuel that is non-toxic and non-corrosive.
Advantages of LNG
- Lower environmental impact due to high hydrogen to carbon ratio
- 95% reduction of fine particulate emissions
- 35% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions
- Up to 50% reduction in noise and vibration emissions
- Odourless, colourless, non-toxic, non-corrosive fuel
- Vehicles with a range of up to 1,500 Km
How to refuel with LNG
On arrival at any HAM Group refuelling station, stop the vehicle’s engine, apply the handbrake, leave any mobile devices inside and put on PPE. It is very important not to smoke while refuelling.
Activate the payment terminal with your card and follow the instructions. Freelancers and businesses can activate the payment terminal with the HAM Card.
Place the grounding clamp and insert the gun into the refuelling nozzle. Press the “Start Ivceo/Scania” button and follow the instructions on the screen. If necessary, the vehicle must be depressurised.
During refuelling, the “dead man” button must be pressed every 40 seconds when the audible alarm is activated or the display on the dispenser flashes.
When the tank is full, the station will indicate the end of the supply.
