Factory acceptance before shipment
This real image shows the integrated AM20 LNG skid during factory acceptance and pre-delivery inspection. It helps customers see the actual equipment arrangement, service access and quality-control stage before site deployment.
The package integrates LNG storage, vaporization, pressure regulation, controls and gas generation in one compact skid for rapid field installation.
Why this project matters
Telecom towers need a fuel model that is harder to steal and cheaper to run.
In many African weak-grid markets, diesel backup has become a daily operating system instead of emergency support. Fuel price volatility, theft risk, repeated service visits and grid outages push tower operators to look for a cleaner and more controllable route.
Diesel theft pressure
LNG is stored in a sealed pressure system and is not easily siphoned or resold like diesel, reducing the core incentive for fuel theft.
Lower service frequency
Cleaner combustion and a 4000-hour maintenance interval help reduce field visits compared with diesel-heavy operation.
Fast deployment
The integrated skid uses LNG storage, vaporization, pressure regulation and gas generation in one compact package for tower sites.

Commercial screening
Let viewers input local fuel prices and see the saving rate instantly.
This calculator is for first-pass discussion with tower owners, energy service companies and telecom operators. It compares fuel cost per kWh only.
Diesel cost$0.35/kWh
Gas / LNG saving vs diesel71%
LPG saving vs diesel37%
Formula: fuel cost per kWh = local fuel price x consumption factor. It excludes logistics, maintenance, oil, tax, financing and site-specific derating.
Rollout method
From one signed unit to a tower-cluster energy model.
The signed project is a practical entry point. After the first tower validates uptime, refueling interval and service model, the same AM20 LNG approach can be replicated across tower clusters with local LNG supply routes.
1. Site baseline
Load profile, outage hours, diesel usage and theft risk.
2. Fuel route
LNG source, refill rhythm and storage safety.
3. Pilot operation
Monitor kWh, fuel consumption, maintenance and uptime.
4. Cluster expansion
Replicate to more sites with standardized service and logistics.
