IMW`s Bulk Gas Transportation systems have enabled customers

IMW’s Bulk Gas Transportation systems have enabled customers worldwide to take advantage
of the tremendous cost reduction and environmental benefits of converting to natural gas without
waiting for expensive pipeline of LNG infrastructure. IMW’s Pressure Reducing System (PRS) is
designed for pressure let-down of CNG delivered via CNG trailer at pressures up to 3600 psig.
The PRS is comprised of two main components, the Pressure Reducing Module (PRM) and the
Heat Control Module (HCM). These systems are skid-mounted and have different electrical zone
characteristics. The PRM creates a Class I Zone 2 area for 15 feet* in all directions from the edges
of the skid.
Based on the applicable NFPA52 code used in the USA

Exclusive Competitive Advantages
MOBILITY
IMW’s Mobile PRMS includes proven CNG systems in the ease of a mobility package. Each pack-
age has an industrial CNG compressor, high-pressure CNG storage, multi-point CNG dispensing,
gas controls and electrical controls, all on a unique, purpose-built transport trailer.
MAXIMUM OFFLOAD CAPACITY
In conjunction with IMW’s compressors, our Pressure Reduction Systems allow
Maximum Offload Capacity, ensuring that only a minimal amount of gas is left on the trailer before it is
disconnected. This is achieved by using two line unloading methodologies where possible, designing
systems for minimal pressure drop, and employing scavenging compression where necessary to remove
remaining gas.
PROVEN
SCALABILITY
Along with IMW’s
compressors, our Pressure Reduction systems have proven
scalability to provide standard product to custom applications. This provides redundancy. Standard products ensure excellent reliability and quality. It is easy to add more units if demand increases and remove
equipment and move to several smaller sites once gas pipeline arrives.

APPLICATIONS
Permanent Site
Deployable Site
Mobile Site
Industrial application where natural
gas pipeline infrastructure is not
available, yet significant cost
savings can be realized by utilizing
natural gas as the energy source
instead of conventional fuels such
as bunker oil. IMW’s compression
and decompression equipment
can be used together with mobile
storage to create a virtual pipeline
in order to recognize these cost
savings.
Multiple modular PRS units that
are easy and cost-effective to
transport can be installed in parallel at temporary sites in order to
allow rated capacities in multiples
of IMW standard equipment rated
flowrates. Individual units can be
re-deployed to other sites with
different capacity requirements
once the need at the original site
changes.

The IMW
Difference
IMW non-lubricated compressors set
the global standard for minimum oil
carry-over without the waste, cost and
negative environmental issues of
additional filters, auto oil drain systems
and supplementary oil tanks. Only 5
PPM or less vs. 100 PPM or more.
IMW is the largest and only exclusive
manufacturer of non-lubricated CNG
compressors globally making us a
proven manufacturer with the world
class experience you need supporting
you.
IMW has the best durability and
reliability in the industry.
IMW is the only manufacturer offering
advantages of twin & triple configurations. This allows for variable supply
for higher efficiency at low demand
periods and full redundancy and
enhanced reliability.
IMW is the only manufacturer that
covers the widest spectrum of
compression requirements with a
single block instead of multiple, unique
machines. Less training is required and
there are more common parts.
