Badak LNG is one of the largest natural gas liquefaction plants in the world, located in Bontang, Indonesia. There are 8 process trains - capable of producing 22.5 Million Metric Tons Per Annum of LNG - and they use steam turbines for driving power generation and refrigeration compressors. On January 27, 2011, a routine inspection detected several cracks on a 24” #600 gate valve located on a steam line.

It might be difficult to believe, but there used to be a joke about a geologist reporting back over a field trip and saying: ‘I have good and bad news; the bad news is that we did not find any oil; the good news is that we did not find any gas either.’

As most piping specialists know, LNG applications can be very difficult to control flow, and it takes a special design with specific materials to work in temperatures ranging down to -454˚F/-270˚C. A design and materials which cannot be utilized in most valve types. While both gate valve and ball valve designs have been utilized, they do not always provide the very best of results – zero leakage in on/off applications.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas in a liquid form that is clear, colorless, odorless, non-corrosive and non-toxic.

Quality and safety are the two critical considerations when choosing a valve. Cryogenic valves are the solution.Cryogenic valves and other media are susceptible to extreme temperatures.
