Natural gas industries
Gathering, transport, storage, CNG, LNG
Many industries depend on natural gas for power generation, transportation, domestic use, the production of fertilizer and many other products. Natural gas must be collected from its source, transported within pipeline systems to its end user, and often stored in the ground to meet peak demands. In some cases, it is cooled to a liquid (LNG - liquefied natural gas) and placed in tankers for transportation overseas or compressed to form CNG – (compressed natural gas) for automobile fueling stations. Regardless of its form or method of transportation, natural gas must undergo compression. Reciprocating compressors are commonly used in natural gas handling. Reliability and efficiency are guaranteed here through the use of valves, rings and packings or controls, as well as the extensive range of compressor services, provided by HOERBIGER.
