Dear PEI Member:
PEI is now offering an online CNG Fueling Station Design and Construction
Course. The course is extremely useful for companies and individuals
interested in or responsible for designing, building or owning/operating
natural gas fueling stations, as well as equipment providers and those
involved in permitting such stations.
The online version of the
CNG Fueling Station Design and Construction Course is
presented in an easy-to-use video/slide-show format. Recorded live at a
PEI-sponsored seminar held earlier this year in Baltimore, the course is
divided into 12 separate content modules and has a total run time of more
than 12 hours. Purchasers can watch at their convenience, at their own pace and
as many times as desired in the 21-day license period. Each purchaser also can
download―and keep―a
comprehensive course manual with a variety of summaries, schematics and
forms that will be valuable resources when planning and constructing these
stations.
The course instructor is Leo Thomason, co-founder of
the Natural Gas Vehicle Institute, North America's leading provider of
education, training and technical consulting on natural gas vehicles and
fueling technologies. Leo has more than 25 years of direct natural gas
vehicle and fueling infrastructure experience, and has personally trained
more than 15,500 students in the United States and throughout the world. Leo
is also a CSA-certified CNG Fuel System Inspector.
By taking the course, participants will learn:
- Key questions to ask when sizing a CNG fueling
station
- Common station configurations
- How to develop appropriate construction
specifications
- The basics of workable construction
specifications
- Permitting requirements and essentials
- Piping and instrument diagrams and plot plans
- Essential safety procedures and guidelines
The price for the CNG Fueling Station Design and
Construction Course is $495. For more information, to see a video preview or to purchase your course
