Management
When planning and setting up CNG systems, BAUER is your
competent partner. We plan and realise the CNG fuel station
from the design up to the turn-key handing - over (excluding
any construction authorisation which may be necessary)
through close co-operation with the clients.
When designing a CNG station the important parameters
are the number of vehicles to be filled, the size of
the vehicle tank and the refueling peaks. In accordance
with the customer‘s specifications we will gladly
draw up a corresponding optimised design and concept
of the natural gas fuel station (fuelling profiles, extendibility
etc).
Together with the client a design of the CNG fuel station
is drawn up focusing on safety and economics. The ex-proof
protection zones, customer-friendly positioning of the
fill post, sound emission of the compressor system as
well as an optimised high pressure tubing layout between
the compressor tank unit & fill post are important
parameters.
After establishing the placement of the system, our team
of engineers will draw up an installation and
foundation plan as part of the order processing,
in particular stating the interfaces for the operation
of the system in detail such as the building dimensions,
gas input piping, power supply, pneumatic and electrical
connection lines to the fill post and the station shop.

Installation & commissioning
Placement
Following consultation with the client in the course
of the planning, the best location for the CNG fuel station
is selected by our engineers.
After the client has erected a concrete foundation the
complete CNG station is set up by us, electrically cabled
and tubed. An additional important aspect is the precise
observation of the statutory ex-protection regulations.
Due to the minimised explosion protection zones of our
CFS natural gas fuel stations we are able to find an
optimal installation solution even if very little space
is available.
Piping
The system including all pressure lines from the compressor
to the storage tank and from there again to the dispenser
/ filling post is completely professionally piped by
BAUER in accordance with the relevant guidelines and
subsequently reviewed by TÜV / DVGW or another approval
organisation.
The necessary scheduling with the companies and authorities
involved is attended to and co-ordinated by our project
team.
Electrical cabling
Of course our service engineers also take care of the
electrical cabling both of the compressor system as well
as the dispenser/filling post. The operator simply has
to provide a high-voltage connection. The connection
to an existing cash till system is carried out on request
by BAUER following consultation with the third-party
companies involved.
Commissioning
After the compressor system has
been installed it is started, reviewed
again and a trial refueling is carried
out on natural gas vehicles or if necessary
using BAUER’s own testing equipment.
BAUER also provides the appertaining project organisation
and scheduling for the installation and commissioning
of the compressor, storage unit & filling post technology
so that the commissioning of the CNG fuel station generally
only takes a few days.
TÜV / DVGW – acceptance
Already at our plant in Munich the components such as
compressor, storage system and other subassemblies of
the delivery package can be subjected to a partial acceptance
inspection by the TÜV. After assembling at the installation
location the installation is tested by a TÜV / DVGW
expert and the technical documentation of the technical
partial acceptance inspection at the manufacturing plant
is only subjected to a standard inspection.
This acceptance at the installation location is carried
out by the service team together with the relevant supervisory
authority.
Calibration of the dispenser / filling
post
For gas dispensing to third parties
against payment it is essential that the
In order to enable this, our dispensers work with a Coriolis
mass flow meter, which converts the data provided by
means of a post calculator or an automatic vending machine
into a form capable of being calibrated. All dispensers
supplied by BAUER are approved by Physikalisch-Technische
Bundesanstalt (PTB) for payment transactions subject
to statutory calibrations.
The necessary calibration of the CNG filling post is
carried out by BAUER in co-operation with the respective
calibration authority. All the test equipment required
for this calibration is available.
Personnel instruction
The delivery package includes
a detailed instruction of the client’s
authorised employees regarding the technology
and electricity of the system for example
to be able to produce and modify tank documents
which are also useful for the operator
of the system to be able to carry out the
most important basic settings and simple
The instruction of the personnel takes place on the turn-key
CNG fuel station, which has already been approved by
the supervisory authorities, before it is handed over
to the client.

Operator Training
We offer intensive training courses for our natural gas
fuel systems at our company enabling the operator to
quickly and easily resolve any small technical problems
or also to perform changes to the configuration, such
as oil change, filter cartridge changes etc.
These training courses generally take place in our training
centre in Munich. The training includes a detailed explanation
of the structure and operating method of the compressors
used and the sub-assemblies installed in the CNG systems.
On a ready-to-use refueling system with compressed air
as a medium, the procedure and function of real refueling
processes can be explained to the course participants
in detail |
