Methane stations

BULMARKET DM Ltd is the first company to build a methane station. 2002-2012 it was a partner of Dresser Wayne Pignone.

BULMARKET DM Ltd is the first company to build its own methane station. Within the period from 2002 until 2012 it was a partner of Dresser Wayne Pignone, a producer of natural gas compression equipment. The company owns several own methane stations in the towns of Ruse, Plovdiv and Lovech. In addition to methane, diesel fuel, gasoline and LPG are available on those sites.
Since 2004 BULMARKET DM Ltd is supplying compressed natural gas to industrial consumers, by means of trailers or bottle groups.  

What represents the natural gas?
The natural gas is a primary energy source - extracted from the earth's subsoil, unlike the propane-butane, which is yielded at petrol processing. The natural gas (methane) is the most attractive fuel. It is environmentally clean and it is with the lowest price of the fuels. The European Union promotes its use as one of the most alternative fuels. 
The natural gas (methane) is increasingly used as a main fuel for internal combustion engines (ICVs) of motor vehicles (MV). As fuel for Internal Combustion Engines are mainly used the products of petrol processing - different types of gasoline, diesel fuel and liquefied petrol gas propane-butane. The petrol resources are limited as the trend for the prices of petrol products is for permanent rising. The natural gas deposits are practically unlimited because new deposits are yet to be developed, and also huge quantities of natural gas remain in the depleted oil fields.
One normal cubic meter of natural gas (at an air temperature of 0ºС and a pressure of 760 mm mercury gauge) in terms of energy performance is the equivalent of 1.1-1.2 liter of gasoline. With natural gas, one vehicle will travel 100 km., about 3 times less money than gasoline and 2.5 times than diesel.
Due to the uniform physical state of the air and natural gas, mixtures between them are much better and combustion is significantly more complete. The use of natural gas allows the toxic substances, soot and exhaust gas opacity to be reduced by 3-4 times. Natural gas (after hydrogen) is the most environmentally friendly fuel for internal combustion machinery.
Due to the higher detonation resistance of natural gas, better mixing with air, more complete combustion and lack of washing properties, the engine wear is reduced by 1.5 to 2 times! The combustion plugs fitness is increased by 40-50 % and the oils lifetime by 1.3 to 1.8 times.
All types of vehicles - cars, trucks, buses, vans, vans and even huge extra-heavy-duty vehicles - have a natural gas option. Most alternative cars use compressed natural gas (CNG). Some alternative cars also use liquefied natural gas (LNG), but this technology is still less developed and is not so widespread due to its specific requirements.

Supply of compressed natural gas to industrial users 

Since 2004 BULMARKET DM Ltd has been supplying compressed natural gas via trailers and bottle groups to sites, that do not have access to the gas network.

If you are the owner of a hotel, house or industrial site and you want to improve the energy efficiency, then one of the best options for you is the compressed natural gas (methane).
