Integrated tube-trailer and stationary ground storage system and method for enhanced pressure consolidation operations for refueling of gaseous fuels

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1840393
An enhanced operating method and an integrated tube-trailers and stationary ground storage system are provided for implementing enhanced pressure consolidation operations for refueling gaseous fuels. The integrated tube-trailers and stationary ground storage system includes gaseous fuel supply tube-trailers and stationary ground storage including at least one or more stationary pressure vessels. A compressor can be supplied by both the stationary ground storage and the tube-trailers. The stationary ground storage can provide higher pressure to the compressor than the tube-trailers, enabling enhanced compressor throughput during refueling operation, and enhanced utilization of tube-trailers payload.
