Applied Natural Gas Fuels, Inc. owns an LNG production facility in Topock, AZ (the “Plant”), located one mile east of the Arizona border with California.

The Plant processes pipeline quality natural gas through various purification processes to a purity of up to 99% methane, and through refrigeration cycles that cool the gas to a temperature of approximately minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point it condenses to a liquid. After processing, the LNG is stored in above ground cryogenic storage tanks at the Plant until it is shipped via tractor trailers to customer sites. There it is stored in above ground storage tanks until dispensed directly to vehicles. As a liquid, LNG occupies approximately 1/600th of the volume of natural gas and is easily stored and transported.

The Company produces CNG at its retail sites by vaporizing LNG at high pressure, and refers to this product as LCNG. LCNG is stored in high pressure tanks, usually at operating pressures of 3,000 to 3,600 psi, to be eventually dispensed into vehicles in gas. The Company sources its pipeline quality natural gas from a major natural gas supplier The Plant has an annual production capacity of 35 million gallons of LNG, with production capacity of approximately 100,000 gallons of vehicle-grade LNG per day. In addition, the Company owns a fleet of specialty cryogenic tank trailers which are used to transport LNG from the Plant to customer sites.
