Since 2001

We bring over 15 years of consulting experience in the energy sector and are recognized vendors to leading organizations, including TotalEnergies, NLNG, SEPLAT, the Federal Ministry of Environment, as well as other multinational companies and government agencies within the industry.

At WETCLAY Energy Technologies, our impact is measurable. With over 19 organizations served, we consistently deliver up to 70% fuel cost savings and reduce harmful emissions by 60%-helping Nigerian industries save money, stay reliable, and move towards a cleaner energy future.

Converting a generator to use Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) involves replacing the existing fuel system with a CNG system, including a CNG storage tank, fuel line, and a modified carburetor or fuel injection system. This process is typically done by a WetClay professional who have 7 + years expertise in CNG systems.

Here’s a more detailed look at the process:

1. Assessment and Planning:
A qualified WetClay professional will assess the generator’s specifications and determine the necessary components for the Upgrade / conversion.
2. CNG Tank Installation:
A SON (Standards organization of Nigeria) approved CNG storage tank, typically a cylinder, will be installed on the generator. ISO certified
3. Fuel Line Installation:
A fuel line will connect the CNG tank to the modified carburetor or fuel injection system.
4. Carburetor or Fuel Injection Modification:
The existing carburetor or fuel injection system may need to be modified or replaced to accommodate CNG.
5. CNG Regulator Installation:
A CNG regulator will be installed to reduce the pressure of the CNG from the tank to a suitable level for the engine.
6. Safety Measures:
Proper safety measures, such as ensuring proper venting and leak detection, will be implemented to prevent potential hazards.
7. Testing and Tuning:
Once the conversion is complete, the generator will be tested and tuned to ensure proper operation and fuel delivery.

Cost: The cost of converting a generator to CNG can vary significantly depending on the size of the generator, the complexity of the conversion, and the cost of the necessary components. Conversion kits can be expensive, especially if they need to be imported. For example, converting a 20KVA diesel generator to CNG with a 200-liter tank can cost around N8,000,000, while converting a 100KVA-250KVA generator can cost around N10,300,000.

Benefits of CNG Conversion:

Cost Savings: CNG is generally less expensive than diesel fuel, potentially leading to significant cost savings.
Environmental Benefits: CNG is a cleaner-burning fuel than diesel, reducing emissions.
Reduced Reliance on Fossil Fuels: CNG can help reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels.

Important Considerations:

Expert Installation: It is crucial to have the conversion performed by a qualified professional who is experienced in CNG systems.
Safety: CNG is a flammable gas and requires proper handling and storage.
Maintenance: The converted generator will require regular maintenance to ensure proper operation and safety. Due to the upgrade, your regular generator maintenance 2,000 hrs run time will reduce. Due to CNG is lighter density and cleaner energy source.
