LNG, liquefied natural gas, is an important part of the global energy transition. Processing LNG, however, requires rigorous safety measures and tested, approved, and certified protection systems. A perfect example is the Roxtec sealing system for cable and pipe entries, which comes with certified protection for engineered certainty and support from experienced experts.
Roxtec sealing solutions provide multi-hazard protection. They contribute to safe and continuous operations by preventing fire, gas, water, and EMI as well as the risk of ignition of flammable gas. This has been proven for decades in LNG projects around the world.
“We have been a global sealing partner within oil and gas for more than 30 years and have a proven record of success”, says Leo Konradsson, Global Segment Manager Power & Process industries. “We have also tested our products to the absolute limit in jet fire and gas cloud explosion tests. The thing is that you cover all requirements with one solution.”
Support from early design to future expansion
Being a partner means more than providing a product. Roxtec sealing experts work together with operators, design engineers, and installers to provide support – from front-end engineering design to construction, retrofit and expansion. With global coverage and assistance from the headquarters in Sweden, Roxtec enables smooth collaboration in large LNG projects that involve several countries or regions.
“By being present, we learn about the challenges our customers must overcome,” says Adam Hall, Sales Manager Process industries. “It is important to simplify the process. Our free transit design software, for example, enables customers to save time and keep the schedule on track, and time is money. Also, our adaptable seals make it so much easier to handle late-stage changes and upgrades. Changes happen all the time. I believe flexibility is the reason why we are chosen for so many LNG projects in the US.”
Trusted technical advisor in decarbonization projects
In addition to this specific industry knowledge, there is the Roxtec commitment to support all kinds of decarbonization projects – from sustainable aviation fuels and e-fuels to hydrogen and carbon capture. This work has also developed Roxtec into a trusted technical advisor: many projects need to standardize with solutions providing multi-hazard protection, space savings in high cable density areas and modular flexibility.
Learn more about sealing in high-risk environments
Roxtec sealing experts enjoy sharing their insights. You can listen to two of them, Chris Hipple and Mike Gawlikowski, in a recorded webinar available on roxtec.com. They have been working with cutting-edge LNG projects along the US Gulf Coast for years and know about everything from increasing safety requirements to efficient protection of sensitive electronic equipment, which is crucial as the LNG industry is becoming more electrified, digitalized and automized. In addition to protection from the hazards mentioned, Roxtec seals also protect against other factors, such as vibration, water, and rodents, meaning that your electrical assets can stay up and operational through many different situations.
