Adsorbed natural gas technology?

In summary, the conversation revolves around questions regarding adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology. The questions include whether ANG can be stored at high pressures, the difference in energy density between compressed natural gas (CNG) and ANG at the same pressure, the method of retrieving ANG, the need to liquefy gas before storing it as ANG, the potential use of metal foam for ANG storage, the safety of ANG compared to CNG, the cost of ANG storage systems, and any potential environmental concerns with ANG technology.

I have some questions about adsorbed natural gas technology to those who knows:

1)Could adsorbed NG be stored at high pressures? Such as 3600 psi?
2)What is difference in energy density between CNG and ANG at the same pressure?(3600 psi)?
3)What is way of adsorbed gas retreival?Do exist some electrical way to retreive ANG such as low voltage current?
4)Should gas be liquified before ANG storage filling?
5)Could be metal foam,such as aluminum foam, used for ANG storage?
6)Is ANG less flammable (safer) than CNG?

7)What is the cost of ANG storage systems? 8)Are there any environmental issues with ANG technology that must be taken into account?
 

1. What is adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology?

Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology is a method of storing natural gas at a lower pressure by adsorbing it onto a highly porous material, such as activated carbon. This allows for a more compact and cost-effective alternative to traditional compressed natural gas (CNG) storage.

2. How does ANG technology work?

ANG technology works by using a highly porous material, such as activated carbon, to adsorb natural gas molecules onto its surface. This creates a dense layer of stored natural gas, allowing for a higher storage capacity at a lower pressure compared to traditional CNG storage.

3. What are the benefits of ANG technology?

There are several benefits to ANG technology, including increased storage capacity, reduced storage pressure, and lower costs. ANG technology also allows for a more flexible and efficient use of natural gas, as it can be easily transported and used in a variety of applications.

4. Is ANG technology safe?

Yes, ANG technology is considered to be safe. The porous material used to store natural gas is highly stable and does not pose any risks to the environment or human health. In fact, ANG technology has been extensively tested and is approved for use in various industries.

5. How is ANG technology being used in the industry?

ANG technology is being used in various industries, such as transportation, power generation, and industrial applications. It is also being researched and developed for use in residential and commercial applications. Many countries are adopting ANG technology as a sustainable and cost-effective solution for natural gas storage and usage.
