Abstract

A natural gas is one of the alternative fuels for vehicles around the world and most of the vehicle nowadays used Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Among the problem of using the CNG equipment is on the storage tank size and its high operating pressure. The storage tank is bulk, thick and heavy because it has to sustain the higher compression of methane (CH4) gas. In this research, the application of carbon adsorbent is used in ANG concept storage tank. This study is focusing on the amount storage capacity of Adsorptive Natural Gas (ANG) compared to the available existing 12 litre CNG tank in the market. Methane adsorptive storage will be done using the designed adsorbent tank concept. This carbon adsorbent will be used in the process of design and studies the new storage tank in the future. The expected result in this research is being able to set up an experiment procedure for testing the adsorbent ability storage using coconut palm shell carbon. This carbon adsorbent will be applied in the ANG storage tank concept. If this research success, the problem such as large size and high pressure of natural gas storage can be solve.
