SPE-2.1.1-18 -Best practices for defueling, decommissioning, and disposal of compressed natural gas vehicle fuel containers<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the first edition of CSA SPE-2.1.1, Best practices for defueling, decommissioning, and disposal of compressed natural gas vehicle fuel containers. It supersedes CSA EXP2.1, published in 2016.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.1 General<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Document contains requirements for the safe removal and disposal of compressed natural gas (CNG) containers from natural gas vehicle (NGV) service when the container<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) has reached its end of life as indicated by the date on the container label;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) has been condemned in accordance with visual inspection guidelines;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) is no longer of value to an owner; or<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) has been deemed a public nuisance or imminent hazard by the local authority (abandoned, confiscated, or seized containers).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is the owner\u2019s responsibility to ensure that the CNG containers on the vehicle are defueled and removed by a qualified agency at the end of the container life (EOL). Once the container has been removed, the custodian of the container is responsible to dispose of the container safely.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note: Owners should obtain paperwork to document transfer of custody.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.2 Procedure overview<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In general, the best practice for disposal of all condemned containers requires adherence to the following procedures:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) safely defuel and purge the contents;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) remove the valve and other fittings;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) obliterate all markings and labels;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) destroy the container; and<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

e) properly discard the container.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.3 Container type<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NGV 2 high-pressure containers are designated as follows:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Type 1. Metal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Type 2. Resin impregnated continuous filament with metal liner with a minimum burst pressure of 125% of service pressure. This container is hoop-wrapped.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Type 3. Resin impregnated continuous filament with metal liner. This container is full-wrapped.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Type 4. Resin impregnated continuous filament with a non-metallic liner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
