This guide provides a complete roadmap to establish a small-scale Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) facility, typically capable of producing between 50–500 kg/day. It covers every aspect from initial feasibility studies, site selection, and government approvals to equipment selection, installation, and operational procedures. The guide explains how to assess local demand, determine optimal land requirements, select cost-effective compressors, and install safe storage tanks. It also includes insights on staff recruitment, training, and daily operational management. Additionally, it offers guidance on ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations, implementing maintenance schedules, and estimating financial viability including initial capital expenditure (CapEx) and ongoing operational costs (OpEx). Special attention is given to strategies for rural or low-traffic areas, maximizing return on investment while minimizing risk.
