Main features
The standard Nanobox configurations are designed to offer you fast installation and high availability rates at low operation and maintenance costs.
Plug-and-play
The Nanobox units are equipped with an armored cabin that features all the elements required for a safe operation. Installation and commissioning only takes 7 days and can be authorized by a single party*.
*Compared to the commissioning of traditional compressors that take 40-90 days of civil works, electromechanical installations and the integration and enablement of multiple third-party components.
Modularity and multiple applications
The Nanobox modular configuration facilitates the capacity scalability depending upon increase in demand, as well as the gas compression requirements in CNG filling stations, Virtual Pipeline™ daughter stations or biomethane plants.
Compact design
Without the need of a bunker construction, the compact and intrinsically safe structure requires only a few square meters for operation and maintenance. Furthermore, high-rise installations are possible due to their skid assembly and low vibration rate.
Wide range of inlet pressures
Our NX Compressors work with inlet pressures that range from 0.1 to 60 bar. These gas reciprocating compressors adapt to different conditions and ensure the required CNG flow rate. In addition, the inlet pressures are kept constant by an axial flow regulator that does not affect the CNG flow.
Priority panel
A single or multiple path panel manages the CNG flow and offers an optimal dispatch capacity as well as efficient storage management.
Coalescing filter
A built-in coalescing filter is incorporated and ensures CNG with minimum levels of oil. Oil Free compressors are also available for heavy duty applications.
Programmable and unloaded start-up
The NX Compressor start-up and stop parameters can be adjusted to consumption levels. In addition, integrated by-pass valves unload the compressor gas before stopping, thus reducing power consumption and equipment wear.
Reduced power consumption
The direct coupling of the NX Compressors to the main drive reduces power consumption by 6%, compared to the power usage of traditional transmission belt systems.
Vibration free
The laser shaft-alignment technology applied to the compressor-engine assembly alleviates the need for anti-vibration systems.
Programmable alerts and 24/7 monitoring
Complemented by our proprietary Galileo Global Link - Scada System, a set of programmable alerts guarantees immediate preventive and corrective action on all operating parameters.
Air cooling system
The CNG cylinders and refrigeration system configuration eliminate the need for high-cost water cooling systems.
Automatic oil replenishment system
The Nanobox’s automatic oil replenishment system provides you with at least 7 days of unmanned operations.

Our customized configurations maximize Nanobox's benefits and boost your operation profitability.
Energy efficiency
Power savings with Enersave™
Our proprietary Enersave system adjusts power consumption to CNG demand, thus reducing your power costs by 50%.
High pressure kit*
Working at a 250 bar pressure, this kit greatly increases CNG storage capacity.
* The use of this kit depends on the pressure levels authorized by local regulations.
Variable speed fans
Fan speed varies depending on the gas temperature, thus reducing the noise level, start-up peaks and power consumption.
Optimized filling
Enhanced dispatch with Coldbox™
Coldbox reduces the heat that is generated when refueling. This results in a 15% increase in dispatched CNG, saving you on operating costs.
Oil-free compressors
Oil-free piston rings and piston rod packings are available for special applications.
Compliance with local regulations
