LNG APPLICATIONS
Ratermann Cryogenics
NEW FUELS IN THE USA The market for LNG is developing rapidly in the USA. Keen to reduce its dependency on foreign oil, the country has turned to shale gas fields as a source of energy for fuelling trailers and other vehicles. Consequently, vast quantities of trailers and re-gasification units are being produced for transporting and using LNG throughout the country. Ratermann Cryogenics supply cryogenic valves and complete valve packages for US trailer and regasification equipment. Our control valves and emergency shutdown (ESD) valves, including class 1, div 1 actuators are used in hazardous areas. ESD valves have closing times of less than 3 seconds, this is crucial for protection of plant and personnel.
