What is LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)?

FLO-CORP is a regular player in the energy industry.  Our instrumentation is used broadly across the refining and transport of gas and oil, along with many other fuels.  One product that our process instrumentation measures is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).

What is LNG?

Wikipedia says, "Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport."

"Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state. It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive."

It's helpful to have a text book definition; however, how does all that really work?

Shell posted a video on YouTube that does an excellent job of explaining the process.



As you can see, LNG does contribute significantly to the ease of storage and transport of natural gas.

If we can assist you in measuring the flow of LNG or other fuels, please contact us.
