Specifying trip valves is critical for LNG service

Appropriately specifying trip valves in the world of natural gas liquification is a critical element. Failing to do so effectively can risk the lives of operators and maintenance personnel working in close proximity to the equipment, and can sometimes cause irreparable damage to expensive turbomachinery. LNG equipment overview. The process of liquefying natural gas has been in existence since the 19th century. By converting natural gas from a gaseous state into a liquid, it can more easily be transported to areas where natural gas pipelines do not reach. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the volume of natural gas in a liquid state is roughly 600 times smaller than it
