Our Technology (Patent Pending)
Our cutting edge technology combines high strength fiberglass and resin to reinforce a steel pipe liner. A GTM vessel is constructed from steel pipe. Formed and machined heads are precision welded to the pipe. The vessels is then hoop-wrapped with fiberglass and resin to maximize strength, reduce weight and increase transport capacity. The finished vessels are then mounted in a frame, installed inside a specially modified ISO container, and used for transport by rail, truck or ocean.
Our Gas Transport Module (GTM) provide a higher strength, lower cost product.
Key Advantages of Fiberglass Reinforced Steel Construction
Safety - The priority of the high pressure gas storage and transport systems has always been the integrity and safety of its equipment. The GTM composite wrap system provides a significant resistance to fracture and damage. Additionally, the ISO container adds another layer of safety and protection. GTM has done extensive testing demonstrating the ability of composite reinforcement to prevent vessel failure caused by impacts in excess of 1000 ft/second.
Costs - GTM products are competitively priced against conventional steel transport systems. This offers the user immediate project savings with the initial investment as well as continued savings on a per load basis.
Weight - Composite wrapped products are lighter than conventional all steel designs. This weight conservation translates into higher delivered GTM gas volumes.
Strength/Capacity - GTMs are manufactured with high strength fiberglass with tensile strengths greater than 200,000 psi. Pipeline steels typically have ultimate tensile strength of 75,000 to 90,000 psi. By incorporating this high strength fiberglass material in conjunction with steel, GTM’s can be designed and operated at pressures of 3,250 psi, while simultaneously delivering an outstanding volumetric capacity of compressed gas.
Portability - GTM modules are designed to be portable, thus allowing them to be incorporated into any gas transportation application. By maximizing gas volume on a per load basis, GTM advantages include immediate savings by reducing transportation costs from the gas source to the application.
