Operators at remote liquefied natural gas (LNG) production sites who rely on portable or skid mount vapouriser production equipment will find General Monitors provides comprehensive gas and flame monitoring to prevent accidental explosions and fires.
Gas wells are typically drilled at remote sites. Often times it is a result of either the location of the gas, proximity to the public or a combination of both situations. Regardless, power is rarely available and prohibitively expensive to obtain. Drillers have found a way around this obstacle by employing portable vapourisers and temporary Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sources.
LNG trucks are sent to potential drill sites along with portable vapourisers. After the connection is made, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is available to run a large power generator that is capable of providing power to the entire drill site. Once the site is producing gas and is self-sustainable, the LNG truck and vapouriser are moved to the next site.
Safety monitoring devices are always employed when LNG is being produced, used or stored due to its inherently explosive nature. LNG is stored at -260°F (-126°C) and as it is slowly warmed and vapourised it rapidly expands to 600 times its liquid volume. These harsh conditions are stressful on piping and valves which can result in potential leaks of combustible gas that endangers people, equipment and facilities.
