    SPE-2.1.1-18 -Best practices for defueling, decommissioning, and disposal of compressed natural gas vehicle fuel containers


    Preface


    This is the first edition of CSA SPE-2.1.1, Best practices for defueling, decommissioning, and disposal of compressed natural gas vehicle fuel containers. It supersedes CSA EXP2.1, published in 2016.


    Scope


    1.1 General


    This Document contains requirements for the safe removal and disposal of compressed natural gas (CNG) containers from natural gas vehicle (NGV) service when the container


    a) has reached its end of life as indicated by the date on the container label;


    b) has been condemned in accordance with visual inspection guidelines;


    c) is no longer of value to an owner; or


    d) has been deemed a public nuisance or imminent hazard by the local authority (abandoned, confiscated, or seized containers).


    It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the CNG containers on the vehicle are defueled and removed by a qualified agency at the end of the container life (EOL). Once the container has been removed, the custodian of the container is responsible to dispose of the container safely.


    Note: Owners should obtain paperwork to document transfer of custody.


    1.2 Procedure overview


    In general, the best practice for disposal of all condemned containers requires adherence to the following procedures:


    a) safely defuel and purge the contents;


    b) remove the valve and other fittings;


    c) obliterate all markings and labels;


    d) destroy the container; and


    e) properly discard the container.

    Type 1. Metal.


    Type 2. Resin impregnated continuous filament with metal liner with a minimum burst pressure of 125% of service pressure. This container is hoop-wrapped.


    Type 3. Resin impregnated continuous filament with metal liner. This container is full-wrapped.


    Type 4. Resin impregnated continuous filament with a non-metallic liner.


    1.4 Terminology


    In this Document, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Document; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Document.


    Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.


    Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.


    Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
