Trillium Awarded New CNG Project at North County Transit District
Salt Lake City, UT - October 1, 2009, At its September meeting, the Board
of North County Transit District (NCTD) awarded California Trillium Company
(Trillium) a contract for CNG fueling equipment and ongoing operation and
maintenance services at the transit agency's bases in Oceanside
and Escondido, California.
Trillium will supply and install compression equipment for a new fueling
facility at NCTD's Oceanside,
CA facility. The station
equipment includes two 400 horsepower Ariel compressor skids packaged by
Trillium's long time partner J-W Power. Combined flow from the compressors will
total 3300 standard cubic feet per minute or about 25 gallons per minute. The
station equipment will also utilize Trillium's smart control system which will
optimize fleet fueling and provide considerable energy savings to the fleet.
The new facility is scheduled to be completed by July 1, 2010.
The contract value is estimated to be $5.8 million including capital and 10
years of operations and maintenance at the bases. NCTD will receive the federal
excise tax credits on the fuel purchases.
