Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down (to –161 to –164°C) to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. In this state it is odourless, colourless, only slightly toxic and non-corrosive.
LNG is an important alternative to pipeline natural gas.
Since Natural gas is highly flammable it is required to follow most stringent safety regulations to avoid risk of explosion.
ETS engineering Spa is a worldwide leading specialist on EXPLOSION PROOF SOLUTIONS with lifting
products in compliance with ATEX directive ans IECEx regulations.
