Cryogenic Insulation

The coolest job at KAEFER.

It takes a special kind of expert to control the freezing temperatures of minus 163°C necessary to handle, store and supply liquefied natural gas (LNG). KAEFER has over 40 years of experience in LNG and some say that those who work there quite literally have the coolest job in the company.

From high-performance insulation at gas plants and pipelines to storage and transportation tanks, we provide a wide range of services and solutions for the whole gas handling chain.

In fact, we have a specialised division dedicated to LNG – our LNG Solutions Centre. This is staffed with experts who are specialists in adapting to challenging scenarios and bespoke applications where mechanical and thermal tensions are high.

Tech­nical Ex­pert­ise

The KAEFER LNG Solutions Centre focuses on delivering sophisticated and intelligent solutions and services to major LNG projects. For example, we have developed a pre-insulation process for pipes, which is modular and flexible, allowing pipes to be insulated efficiently before they are in-stalled on site. This means they are not subject to environmental variables and the process saves time and money by ensuring high quality and lower levels of manpower and scaffolding. Furthermore, our system is highly mobile and can be set up in close proximity to large-scale projects around the world – this shortens transit times and lowers costs as well.

The LNG Solu­tions Centre cov­ers the entire LNG op­er­a­tions chain, from exploration to the re­ceiv­ing party:

• Liquefaction
• Storage
• Loading & Unloading
• Shipping
• Regasification
