Ultra-Low Vibration Combines with Modular Design for World's only
Non-Lubricated Compressor Designed for Scalability
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), the world's largest
manufacturer of non-lubricated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) compressors,
today introduced the most advanced heavy-duty non-lubricated compressor
for the natural gas fueling market. The CleanCNG™,
developed by engineers at Clean Energy's subsidiary Clean Energy
Compression in Chilliwack British Columbia, incorporates revolutionary
improvements in compressor design and intelligent engineering, resulting
in ultra-low vibration and noise in a compressor that is unparalleled in
scalability, parts commonality and overall performance.

The CleanCNG™ is the culmination of 35 years in leadership in the
compressor industry and the result of a complete ground-up
re-engineering of the CleanCNG Standard.
The new compressor features:
-
Standardized & Modular Construction. Streamlined modular
engineering improves initial specification and cost-effectiveness,
quicker delivery time and more reliable operation with extended
service intervals. Specifically designed for expansion, the CleanCNG™
is available in 150 HP - 300 HP configurations.
-
Ultra-Low Vibration & Noise. At 75 dBA @ 3m, low operating
noise is a standard feature of the CleanCNG™, making it suitable for
even residential neighborhood installations. Vibration measurements
exceed API 618 and recommended industry guidelines.
-
Scalable by Design. CleanCNG™ is the only natural gas
compressor whose control systems, assembly and enclosure are designed
and built to be mated together in an expandable manner. Proprietary
heat management ensures that heated air is not recirculated between
compressors, and performance remains consistent regardless of the
number of compressors.
"The CleanCNG™ is a revolutionary product in the compression industry.
We went back to the drawing board and reengineered the product with our
customers in mind," said Andrew Littlefair. "We were able to deliver a
product that can be built more efficiently, and maintain the highest
levels of compression performance available anywhere in the industry
today."
TransLink, the regional transit authority to Metro Vancouver, B.C., and
the first Canadian transportation provider to achieve Platinum
sustainability status from the American Transportation Association,
recently purchased six of the new CleanCNG™ units.
"We were impressed with the CleanCNG™ because it offers us the low oil
carry-over we count on but also a significant opportunity to decrease
capital and operating costs because of simpler deployment and improved
serviceability," said Joe Buck, Senior VP of Acquisition at TransLink.
"Longer-term, the CleanCNG™ offers the most scalable platform available,
which will allow us to expand as needed to meet our growing fleet
fueling requirements."
Clean Energy Compression facilities meets all ISO 9001:2008 Quality
Management System requirements. CleanCNG compressors are available using
a variety of cylinder configurations and inlet pressures. Multiple
compressor systems, using two or three modular compressor packages that
can be integrated together on-site, offer higher overall flow rates and
system redundancy.
Clean Energy Compression is the only exclusive manufacturer of
non-lubricated natural gas compressors in the world and this exclusive
results in some of the lowest oil carry-over in the industry. Clean
Energy compressors avoid the contamination resulting from injected oil
in competitive lubricated designs and the CleanCNG™ delivers
exceptionally clean oil carry over of less than 5 parts per million.
