An essential part of any liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, Burckhardt Compression Laby-GI fuel gas compressor systems has passed one million operating hours for MAN ME-GI engines.
The compressors are designed to help manage operating pressures of engines and re-liquefaction plants onboard LNG carriers.
This management is necessary as, due to boil-off gas being produced as the LNG warms up during storage and transportation, it must be used either as fuel or become re-liquefied.
The Laby-GI compressors achieve this by being specifically designed to handle gases at low temperature and high pressure while also meeting the requirements for operation at sea.
