Cylinders disposal

Natural gas vehicles that are removed from service have natural gas tanks installed that must be disposed of safely. In many cases, these reservoirs are still under high pressure (up to 200 bar). Apex takes care of the proper disposal of these storage tanks.

The main steps are:

    Determination of the effective natural gas pressure in the tank
  • image/svg+xml
    Inactivation of the pipe burst protection
  • image/svg+xml
    Depressurizing the vessel by safe suction and prevention of gas leakage into the atmosphere
  • image/svg+xml
    Removing the bottle fittings
  • image/svg+xml
    Inerting of the tank
  • image/svg+xml
    Rendering the container unusable

    Scrapping of the components

Price: from CHF 250 per container (excl.VAT) for delivery to Apex (or with collection surcharge)
