LNG - OIL & GAS

Galileo offers two different options for vaporizing liquefied natural gas ‘LNG’: the ambient vaporizer and the boiler vaporizer.

The ambient vaporizer, sometimes called the rig vaporizer, consists of a coil system in which the LNG flows through while exchanging the energy (heat) from the ambient which is at a higher temperature. In this process, the LNG absorbs this energy, heating up and boiling off to the gas state.

An ambient vaporizer typically works on a range of 25 MSCFH (thousand standard cubic feet per hour).

The boiler vaporizing system, also known as frac vaporizer, is primarily utilized in fracking operations. While it shares a similar objective with the ambient vaporizer, its application in frac operations involves much higher flow rate demands, surpassing the capacity of a standard ambient vaporizer and quadrupling the flow rate to 100 MSCFH.

To achieve this, the system incorporates a boiler, enabling a significant increase in energy transfer. This heightened energy transfer facilitates the rapid conversion of liquid to gas at the elevated flow rates encountered in frac applications. Additionally, this system finds utility in extremely cold weather conditions, where ambient temperatures alone are insufficient to effect the transformation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) into a gas state.

The frac vaporizer system can be equipped with an LNG pump for high flowrate/high pressure (HF/HP) applications aka Tier 4 frac systems in unconventional well E&P.
