Omnitek Engineering to Supply Natural Gas Genset to CNG Station in Mexico
On Thursday, Omnitek Engineering announced it has received an order for a 12-cylinder, 600 kilowatt natural gas power generator to operate the NatGas Bernardo Quintana CNG fueling station in Queretaro, Mexico, with a capacity to serve an anticipated 200 CNG buses and 1,000 taxi vehicles per day. Cost benefits and the assurance of an uninterrupted source of electric power for fueling vehicles were cited as two primary factors in the decision to install Omnitek’s natural gas generator. The application of Omnitek’s natural gas engine technology for this and other potential CNG station follows the company’s recently announced application of its technology for a micro-grid project in the Northeast, a biogas fuel genset in northern California, and two natural gas locomotive engines powering a Czech Railways train.
