The works will be carried out through HAM Chile and FNX Liquid Natural Gas

HAM Group and CycleØ have been awarded the contract for the construction and operation of the first BIoLNG plant in Chile, which will be located in the Ñuble region, with a capacity to process between 7,500 and 16,500 m3 of biogas per day. This represents reducing, in the heavy transport industry, more than 19,000 tons of CO2 per year, 96% of fine particle emissions and 85% of nitrogen oxide and sulfur emissions, compared to other fuels.

This BioLNG plant will be possible thanks to the commitment of Lipigas, a relevant player in the Latin American energy market, for an efficient and 100% renewable energy solution. The biogas comes from an anaerobic co-digestion plant for waste from a MaxAgro pig farm, where HAM Chile Spa will build and manage the processing facilities, which will have upgrading equipment, developed by FNX Liquid Natural Gas, which will purify the biogas, which contains 50-60% methane, increasing its quality and obtaining a methane purity of over 99%.

At Grupo HAM and CycleØ we believe that BioLNG must play a prominent role in the energy transition, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to its negative carbon footprint. In addition, the commitment to this fuel favors the circular economy, generating employment in rural areas, returning resources and nutrients to the soil, and as a sustainable alternative to incineration or landfills.

This project reinforces the commitment of our companies to Biogas, which has led us to develop several projects related to BioLNG and BioCNG, such as those in Girona – Spain, where we have opened the first 100% vehicular biomethane plant in the country, or the of Faenza – Italy, where we are going to put into service one of the largest European BIoLNG plants.

A new concept of mobile and transportable service station

HAM Group presents a new concept of a mobile and transportable service station, which allows the refueling of Liquefied Natural Gas and Compressed Natural Gas.

The new mobile unit, which is called EDUX, has been developed by HAM Criogénica, together with our R&D team, who have been in charge of the design and construction, in our facilities and in those of our subsidiary Vakuum.

The EDUX service station allows you to store and refuel LNG to all types of trucks and heavy vehicles, keeping the liquid subcooled and adapting to the optimal temperature of the different brands: Volvo, Scania or Iveco, offering a fast and safe refueling, with performance and functionalities equal to that of fixed stations. At the same time, it allows to refuel CNG to cars, light vehicles and trucks.

The mobile unit has 60.000 liters (60m³) of LNG capacity, works at low pressures (2-3 bar), has a submerged pump and can supply up to 12.000 kg/h of LNG and 300 Kg/h of CNG, with a capacity storage of 7.000Kg of CNG. The gas station has two “on the fly” conditioning systems and has 2 Compressed Natural Gas dispenser and 2 Liquefied Natural Gas dispenser, with an innovative nozzle, designed by HAM, with a “nofrost” system and a double anchoring system and closing, avoiding leaks or losses of liquid, in addition to facilitating disconnection without emission of gas into the air.

The selection of fuel and payments can be made independently at each of the dispensers, using any debit or credit card or the HAM Card for professional use, only for companies and freelancers.

EDUX is a modern mobile service station, which is monitored remotely, by registering different parameters, always guaranteeing its perfect operation and allowing to quickly solve any incident.
