Explore the LNG Process Train
The journey of natural gas through an LNG plant is a continuous process of purification and cooling. Click on any stage below to explore the specific analyzers that protect equipment, ensure quality, and guarantee safety at each critical step.
The Four Pillars of LNG Analysis
Process analyzers are the sensory nervous system of an LNG plant, performing four essential functions that ensure safe, reliable, and profitable operation. The chart on the right visualizes the primary purpose of the key analyzers deployed across the facility.
Asset Protection
Preventing corrosion, freezing, and blockages in critical equipment like the Main Cryogenic Heat Exchanger.
Process Optimization
Fine-tuning operations to maximize LNG throughput and minimize energy consumption.
Product Quality & Fiscal Metering
Ensuring the final product meets sales specifications and accurately measuring its value for custody transfer.
Safety & Compliance
Monitoring utility systems and emissions to ensure personnel safety and adhere to environmental regulations.
