Compressor Solutions for LNG Terminal Applications LNG – PLAYING AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE FUTURE ENERGY MARKET CHALLENGING THE INDUSTRY Growing natural gas markets Demand for environmentally friendly natural gas as a fossil fuel will continue to increase over the long term. Replacing the liquid fossil fuels of diesel, gasoline and oil with natural gas would reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by about 30%. Coal and nuclear energy are increasingly substituted by natural gas amid widespread efforts to decarbonize growing economies and to diversify energy supply in many regions of the...

Compressor Solutions for LNG Terminal Applications UNIQUE COMPRESSOR SOLUTIONS FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS FROM LIQUEFACTION TO REGASIFICATION The LNG process consists of natural gas production, purification and liquefaction, ship loading, transportation and subsequent off-loading, storage, and regasification and, ultimately, injection into a gas distribution grid or power plant. Burckhardt Compression offers unique, economical s ­ olutions for compressing and reliquefying boil-off gas from liquid gases. Liquefaction terminals Natural gas is generally received by pipeline. Before it is...

Compressor Solutions for LNG Terminal Applications DEMANDING OPERATING CONDITIONS MAIN EQUIPMENT AS A KEY SUCCESS FACTOR Low temperatures Special materials are required to handle boil-off gas (BOG) at ultra low temperatures down to –160°C. Oil-free compression At such low temperatures, oil-free compression is required. Besides the non-conformity of oil with these temperatures, conventional sealing systems show low lifetime behavior under bone-dry cryogenic working conditions. Icing of cylinders at temperatures down to minus 160°C Varying gas conditions Compression of different volumes of...
