LNG filling equipment and small-scale liquefaction equipment, HAM Company
HAM is one of Europe's leading companies in the development, manufacturing, and engineering of LNG (liquefied natural gas) facilities.
HAM is a company that develops and manufactures some of the leading LNG facilities in Europe. Based near Barcelona, Spain, HAM was established in 1980 as a transportation company specializing in hazardous materials. After becoming involved in LNG delivery, the company incorporated new ideas into LNG satellite tanks and tankers to improve delivery efficiency. In 2000, as LNG-fueled trucks began to gain popularity, HAM established Spain's first LNG filling station. While continuing to develop the market with mobile LNG filling stations, the company has been revolutionizing the market with innovative ideas, such as increasing the efficiency of LNG filling machines and proposing unique filling nozzles that do not emit residual gas.

Detailed information
-
Natural gas that has been compressed to about 20 to 25 MPa, resulting in a volume reduction to approximately 1/200 to 1/250, is known as CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). It is mainly used in natural gas vehicles such as small cars, passenger cars, and buses. This is the most popular natural gas station in Japan.
-
Natural gas that has been cooled to -162°C and has a volume reduced to about 1/600 is called LNG (liquefied natural gas). In the world, many natural gas vehicles, such as large trucks and trailers, are operating using LNG as fuel. In Japan, there are currently only two stations, but more are expected to be established in the future.
-
This is a mobile LNG station that can be easily set up at locations such as shipping company offices. An LNG tank equipped with necessary facilities for filling, such as meters and dispensers, is transported by trailer. When the tank is empty, a new tank is brought in, and the empty tank is collected, adopting a method similar to that of LP gas.
-
Fuel supply to LNG vessels is referred to as LNG bunkering. In recent years, the emissions from ships using heavy oil as fuel have become a problem, and the adoption of LNG vessels is rapidly advancing. In some countries, heavy oil ships may not even be allowed to enter ports, and the transition to LNG vessels is accelerating for Japanese ships as well.
