Boil-Off Gas Compressors
In LNG applications, managing boil-off gas (BOG) efficiently is crucial for preserving product integrity, reducing emissions, and enhancing operational efficiency. Our Boil-Off Gas Compressors are specifically engineered to capture and compress vaporized LNG, preventing energy loss, optimizing fuel usage, and ensuring safety across storage and transport facilities. These compressors are purpose-built to tackle the unique challenges of BOG management by capturing evaporated gas, compressing it, and reintroducing it into the process to prevent losses and maintain safe storage conditions. Whether onshore at LNG terminals or offshore on LNG carriers and Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs), our compressors provide a reliable solution to minimize environmental impact and preserve LNG volumes.
