New Range of SPX CNG Dryers at ACT 2014
Dryers to meet all capacity requirements of modern NGV fueling stations
Delavan, Wisconsin, April 02, 2014 – Dryers are essential for purifying the
compressed natural gas (CNG) for use in the increasingly popular NGVs (natural gas
vehicles). They are a critical fueling station component to protect valuable
downstream assets from damage and provide high quality, purified gas. Through its
Dehydration business SPX has over 25 years’ experience in supplying dryers to the
CNG industry and to support the rapid development of the CNG fueling market, it has
released a new Fueling Station Dryer (FSD) series which offers economical and
efficient solutions to suit all station capacities. In total SPX offers three types of gas
purification systems for CNG to meet specific application requirements:
FSD-M Series:
The FSD-M (Manual regeneration) models are single tower dryers ideal for removing
vapor from CNG where there are small or intermittent gas flows. They provide an
economical solution, which assures safe, reliable performance through the use of a
unique molecular sleeve which adsorbs moisture even at very low relative humidity.
SPX can provide contracted regeneration services with these dryers.
FSD-A Series:
The new FSD-A (Automatic regeneration) series is specifically designed for low to
medium flow NGV fleet refueling applications. The models bridge the gap between
single tower, manual regeneration technology and fully automated, heat-reactivated
twin tower purification systems. Still offering a highly economical, single tower
solution, these new units incorporate a regeneration package and remove the need
for rental costs or third party regeneration. The products are designed to optimize the

use of floor space and to increase operational efficiency compared with manual
regeneration alternatives.
The FSD Series provides excellent drying performance with coalescing and
particulate filters for particulate, scale liquid aerosol and desiccant fine removal. The
dryer is isolated during regeneration and is designed with closed loop convection to
avoid gas loss during purge. It is a high performance solution with a design which
utilizes the best features of previous dryer series and is based on the vast experience
SPX has in delivering CNG drying solutions.
FSD-T Series:
Completing the CNG dryer range from SPX is the FSD-T (Twin Tower regeneration)
series. This fully automated, twin tower purification system provides completely self-
contained, fully automatic, heat-reactivated, closed-loop blower purge desiccant
drying.

SPX is highly experienced in providing solutions to the natural gas industry with an
installed base throughout North America. Its high performance products meet their
