Seasonal Methane (CH4) Storage and Release Using (ANG) Technology

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

This project presents the conceptual design and analytical evaluation of a seasonal Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) storage system aimed at improving methane supply flexibility. The system uses activated carbon to store methane during low-demand periods and release it during high-demand seasons through a thermally controlled adsorption–desorption process. It integrates gas conditioning, compression, cooling, heating, and real-time monitoring within a single system operating at around 60 bar. The design applies a multidisciplinary engineering approach and uses structured methodologies such as QFD, subsystem modeling, and cost analysis. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the system and highlight the importance of thermal management in achieving efficient and economically viable methane storage.
