Core Components

Cryogenic Boosting Module

Equipped with proprietary cryogenic boosting pump, the core component of the cryogenic ultra-low pressure boosting skid, pressurizing ultra-low pressure saturated LNG to above 2.5 barg to ensure the medium remains in a supercooled liquid state.

Patented Vacuum Insulated Sampling Probe

High vacuum insulation structure with built-in proprietary booster, blocking heat input to prevent LNG phase change, achieving LNG supercritical state.

Vaporization Temperature Control Module

Flash vaporization of supercritical LNG, standard 500W dedicated vaporizer, power design gas flow meets 1500L/h, with precise temperature control components, stably controlling vaporization outlet temperature.

Fast Loop

Ultra-low temperature fast loop, achieving high throughput, high flow rate subcooled LNG pressurization.

Sealed Sampling Module

Equipped with stainless steel sealed sampler, with self-locking quick connectors, achieving sealed sample collection, eliminating leakage and component loss.

Auxiliary Monitoring Module

Includes discharge buffer, 0-10bar pressure monitoring instruments, temperature indicators, and safety components such as safety valves and check valves, real-time control of sampling parameters.

Explosion-Proof Control Module

Explosion-proof electrical control box, junction boxes and other complete explosion-proof electrical components, adapted to flammable and explosive hazardous conditions, ensuring on-site operation safety.

Core Process Advantages

Ultra-Low Pressure Condition Adaptability

Designed specifically for LNG subcooled near-atmospheric pressure scenarios, minimum working pressure 0.04 barg, typical working pressure 0.15 barg, breaking through conventional sampling equipment pressure limitations, with the process method of pressurizing first then sampling, accuracy and compliance far exceed similar products.

Full Process No Fractionation Distortion

No partial evaporation, no re-liquefaction process throughout the sampling process, fundamentally preventing premature vaporization of light hydrocarbon components, ensuring the sample is completely consistent with the original medium composition.

Adequate Redundancy for Pressurization Standards

Stably pressurizing ultra-low pressure LNG to above 2.5 barg, balancing compliance and operating condition redundancy.

Core Compliance Technology and Corresponding Standards

Addressing industry pain points of ultra-low pressure LNG sampling, this equipment meets the core requirements of various international authoritative standards through proprietary patent technology and precise design, completely solving the problem of low-pressure sampling component distortion. The equipment is certified by international type testing and explosion-proof certification, making it a dedicated compliant solution for FSRU/FLNG ultra-low pressure LNG sampling scenarios.

ISO 8943:2025 (Core International Standard for LNG Sampling)

Using cryogenic boosting pump to pressurize near-saturated LNG at phase change critical point, making it return to subcooled liquid state, while matching patented vacuum insulated sampling probe to block heat input, preventing LNG phase change, ensuring sampling point LNG is always in the subcooled liquid state as required by the standard. The sampling probe is close to the custody transfer point and vaporizer, shortening transmission path and reducing heat input, avoiding state changes during sample transmission, with no partial evaporation or re-liquefaction process throughout, strictly meeting the standard's core requirement of 'prohibiting pre-vaporization fractionation and maintaining sample representativeness'.

GII LNG Custody Transfer Handbook

Through cryogenic boosting pump, stably pressurizing ultra-low pressure LNG (minimum 0.04 barg, typical 0.15 barg) to above 2.5 barg, meeting the standard requirement of 'sampling point pressure > 2 barg'. The vaporizer precisely controls outlet temperature ≥ 20°C (actual application often sets 50°C), and power design gas flow meets 1500L/h, fully matching the standard requirements for electric heating vaporizer flow and temperature control, ensuring fairness in custody transfer.

EN 12838 (LNG Two-Phase Envelope Standard)

Through dual pressurization of built-in booster in sampling probe + cryogenic boosting pump, elevating LNG from saturated state to full liquid phase supercritical state, completely leaving the two-phase envelope, avoiding sample component distortion caused by gas-liquid mixed state, fully meeting standard requirements.

Hazardous Condition Explosion-Proof Design Standards

The equipment is equipped with explosion-proof control module, and the equipment is certified by international explosion-proof certification, fully complying with equipment use requirements for flammable and explosive hazardous conditions, ensuring on-site operation safety.
