Fluid System Components for
Transporting LNG
Enabling the transportation and transfer of liquid natural gas (LNG) is our goal at Swagelok. We bring our expertise in fluid system components for natural gas distribution to the LNG virtual pipeline.
LNG Virtual Pipeline Support
Dependable transportation of LNG as it travels from the production facility to the point of use is crucial to supporting clean energy. A virtual pipeline transports gases to locations that do not have access to fixed pipelines. Virtual pipelines rely on specialized vehicles or containers to move the gas in its compressed or liquefied form. No matter where along this virtual pipeline a fluid system component is used, it must be designed for maximum reliability. Swagelok offers:
- Leak-tight performance which is essential for reliable containment, keeping operators safe, and protecting the environment from fugitive emissions
- Temperature control which supports transportation of LNG at extremely low -260° F (-162° C) temperatures in tankers, trucks, or storage tanks. The fluid system components use to store and transfer it need to be appropriately rated throughout the virtual pipeline. Swagelok fittings are designed to handle the elastomeric chemical, pressure, and temperature changes resulting from natural gas liquefaction.
- Pressure management so LNG remains stable during transportation
Swagelok has a rich history supporting the industry and the technical expertise in fitting design for natural gas infrastructure. From storage to transfer, we know what it takes to move natural gas.
