LNG truck loading with Endress+Hauser solution

LNG composition measurement in truck loading

Reliable, instant-on LNG composition readings during truck loading transfers

Truck loading represents a key measurement point in the small-scale LNG supply chain. Typical gas chromatograph (GC)/vaporizer systems require long cool downs before measuring, causing extended truck wait times. Inaccurate readings can result from unstable flows or variations in LNG composition. GC/vaporizer systems need frequent maintenance, sample conditioning, and vaporized gas to be transported to the analyzer — resulting in high OPEX. Endress+Hauser’s Raman analyzers can help.

  • Instant LNG truck loading measurements

    without the wait and maintenance

    Our Raman analyzers are ready when the flow begins during LNG truck loading. Ideal for all cargo sizes, this technology is immune to flow variations or interruptions. It generates safe, precise, and accurate measurements of LNG composition, Btu, and Wobbe index without the cooling delay and maintenance of GC/vaporizer systems. With a compact footprint and easy installation, our analyzers reduce OPEX by requiring no consumables, sample conditioning, vaporizers, or vacuum-jacketed tubing.
