Diesel cost pressure
Fuel price volatility makes continuous diesel generation a growing operating burden, especially for loads that run every day and every night.
CIMC ENRIC | Compact LNG-to-Power
Convert diesel dependence into a compact natural-gas power platform
A vertically integrated LNG-to-power concept for Nigerian sites where diesel costs are rising, land is constrained and a more scalable fuel pathway is becoming available.
Public concept overview. Final gas, safety, civil and electrical design follows confirmed project inputs and local approvals.
Why this matters now
Nigeria is moving from diesel-only resilience toward gas-enabled power
For industrial operators and distributed-power users, diesel is increasingly expensive to buy, transport and store. At the same time, gas supply and liquefaction infrastructure are creating a stronger path to use natural gas closer to the load.
Land is not always available
Many existing sites cannot accept a large new plant footprint. The solution must use the available plot more intelligently.
Gas supply is becoming more usable
As private gas production and liquefaction capacity develop, LNG-to-power can become a practical bridge from fuel logistics to reliable electricity.
LIMITED FOOTPRINT → VERTICAL INTEGRATION → NATURAL-GAS POWER WITHIN THE EXISTING SITE
The compact solution
Use one LNG route to replace diesel generation without expanding the site footprint excessively
The concept combines LNG delivery, storage, vaporization, pressure regulation and containerized generation into a coordinated package, with vertical stacking used where the plot is constrained.
01LNG delivery
Trailer enters and stands in the designated unloading lane.
02LNG unloading
Flexible hose connects to the unloading skid.
03LNG storage
Vertical storage provides fuel buffer within the compact plot.
04Regasification
Pressurize, vaporize, regulate and meter the fuel gas.
05Gas generation
Containerized gas modules provide the required power block.
06Power interface
Transformers and distribution connect the site load.
Designed for constrained plots
Compact does not mean incomplete
The architecture keeps the essential operating chain visible: safe LNG handling, gas conditioning, generation, maintenance access and electrical integration. The exact arrangement remains subject to safety and constructability review.
The same constrained footprint is reused across ground and second-floor generation areas.
Public preview is intentionally low-resolution; detailed drawings are shared only for qualified project review.
CIMC ENRIC design approach
Optimize the whole route, not only the generator
A workable diesel-to-gas conversion is a site solution: fuel delivery, storage, regasification, generation, access, safety and maintenance must fit together.
- Modular gas-generation blocks can be matched to the existing operating load.
- Vertical integration helps protect land availability where the plot is already fixed.
- Package-level coordination simplifies the path from concept to EPC discussion.
- EPC and lifecycle O&M can be considered together from the beginning.
From concept to project
Four stages turn a compact idea into an executable solution
Start with the operating facts, then validate the site and safety envelope before the coordinated layout and commercial proposal are issued.
Confirm the basis
Agree the load profile, LNG route, site boundary and governing standards.
Freeze inputs
Confirm trailer route, unloading point, storage, utilities, access and operating hours.
Validate and issue
Review process, safety, structure, civil, electrical and constructability before the proposal.
Next step
Bring us the load, the plot and the fuel question
Use the calculator for an initial screening, or submit the project information so CIMC can shape the right LNG-to-power route.
