The extended bonnet design moves the stem packing away from the low-temperature zone, supporting insulation and the operating conditions of the mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>While PN 10-PN 40 and ANSI Class 150-Class 300 solutions are widely used in LNG facilities, designs above Class 600 come into play in high-pressure applications. Nominal sizes can range from DN 100 up to around DN 1200.<\/p>\n<h2>Major projects are increasing valve orders<\/h2>\n<p>Ampo Poyam Valves is supplying more than 1,400 cryogenic valves for the North Field East expansion project in Qatar and more than 1,300 for the Hanseatic Energy Hub terminal in Germany. OHL Gutermuth is also supplying shut-off, butterfly and control valves to various LNG projects.<\/p>\n<h2>Digitalisation and hydrogen compatibility<\/h2>\n<p>While digital monitoring is gaining importance in process optimisation and safety, the \u201cH2-ready\u201d design approach, which allows new LNG terminals to adapt to future hydrogen use, is coming to the fore. Bio-LNG and synthetic LNG options are also diversifying valve material and performance criteria.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p>Shell LNG Outlook 2025; Valve World Expo sector dossier; corporate statements from Herose, M\u00fcller Quadax, Ampo Poyam Valves, OHL Gutermuth, Noreva and Emerson.<\/p>\n<p>Current developments in the sector in the field of LNG cryogenic valve solutions will continue to be followed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article looks at notable developments and application details in LNG cryogenic valve solutions.
