Bigger Dry Seals For 'Super-Size' LNG Compressors

摘要

The increased global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is having a significant impact on companies that both produce and supply equipment to this market, resulting in rapid advances in machine design, capacity and efficiency. In the LNG process, natural gas is converted to liquid form, making the gas easier to store and transport. When the LNG is needed for use, it is regasified and distributed as pipeline natural gas. As fossil fuels become more expensive and less readily available, natural gas is becoming a viable alternative especially in countries such as China and Japan, where propane has been the most used fuel. LNG terminals are under construction in parts of the world that normally would not have been able to have access to natural gas.
