Salient Features

Truck Cascade scaled
  • EKC’s special designed Type 4 MEGC has double neck cylinders, placed vertically and interconnected. Top side Necks of cylinders are connected to the pressure line via isolation valves having thermal and pressure safety relief devices and the bottom side necks are connected to the “drain line” as an option.
  • EKC’s MEGC has unique design whereby we are providing a drain line facility in our system to facilitate periodical draining of the water & compressor oil residue settled at the bottom of elements in order to keep the elements & system in healthy condition and in order to utilize the maximum gas carrying capacity of the elements and also to avoid carrying dead weight in the trailer.
  • All cylinders will be certified for conformity to the relevant manufacturing standard by third party certification agency like Arrowhead, U.K.
  • Structural stability, manifold design, testing, inspection and certification for ADR will be carried out and approved by Third party agency (Apragaz Belgium)
  • Usage of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Liner of the cylinder imparts highest corrosion resistance and least amount of permeability.
  • Filament wound epoxy Carbon fibre composite shell is a high strength material and shows no fatigue during operation.
  • Polyurethane protection caps are applied to the domes to
  • increase impact and abrasion resistance.
  • Our design provides high gas flow rate due to proper selection of tube diameters and gas passages in the manifold. Optimized manifolds and line for best fill and discharge rates.
  • Low noise level during filling and discharging based on optimized piping and manifold design
  • All joints connected with High Quality SS compression fittings; welding is not used.
  • Gas filling/discharging point is provided at the rear end of the MEGC for ease of operation.
  • To reduce time for filling/discharge, multiple receptacles can be provided (optional).
  • Complete unit construction on standard 40’ ISO 1496-3 container.
  • 93 Elements assembled in a 40’ CSC container having 12555 M storage Capacity weighs only 18700 Kgs
