First TITAN®53 Mobile Pipeline® units delivered in Nebraska
Hexagon continues delivering firsts to
the Mobile Pipeline® market as the first TITAN®53 gas transport module
was delivered in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. The TITAN®53 is the result of a
rigorous design, development and testing process built on the
foundation of the deepest engineering expertise in composite pressure
vessel technology in the industry.
After nearly a decade of success with
TITAN® products, customers are demanding the ability to move greater
volumes of compressed gases including natural gas, hydrogen and
industrial gases on every trip. The newly developed TITAN®53 cylinders
and module optimize weight and capacity to meet the 80,000 lbs (36,300
kg) GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) to allow operation in all 50 US
states while delivering an estimated gas volume of 492,000 SCF / 13,932
SCM of natural gas. Hexagon’s TITAN® cylinders are the largest composite
cylinders now available.
Safety is top priority for development
teams, which have delivered over 700,000 high pressure full composite
cylinders over their 25 years. Hexagon’s composite cylinders hold up to
three times the capacity of steel at the same vehicle weight,
dramatically improving payload and range.
Hexagon’s Mobile Pipeline® team is
collaborating with energy leaders to develop innovative systems that
provide safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions off
the gas grid. To date, more than 1,200 Mobile Pipeline® modules are
deployed globally, where they are driving energy transformation from
conventional petroleum fuels to clean and affordable natural gas.
Supporting customers extends beyond the
deployment of the modules with exceptional service and support. To
facilitate future service and requalification of the module, Hexagon
designed the TITAN®53 module to accommodate Hexagon’s Modal Acoustic
Emission requalification testing. Modal Acoustic Emission testing is the
most comprehensive method of testing composites available in the world
and presents a technological leap in safety.
