US 2016/0069124 A1 · NATURAL GAS VEHICLE MAINTENANCE SEPARATION AND CONTAINMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

A separation and containment system is provided. The separation and containment system can contain natural gasses, e.g., compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), within a natural gas vehicle (NGV) service area, and separate the NGV service area from a conventional service area. The separation and containment system utilizes one or more barriers, such as industrial fabric/vinyl materials that meet various regulatory safety standards applicable to NGVs. The separation and containment system is easily constructed, dismantled, and resized/adapted in accordance with desired operating conditions.
