Before liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be used in process plants or power plants, or fed into the gas pipeline, it must "return to its original form". However, there are some process and safety aspects that must be taken into account.

It seems straightforward: Cool natural gas to a low enough temperature and there you have it – the coveted LNG. But it's not quite that simple. And what's more, nothing can happen without explosion protection.

The Ex p pressurised enclosure type of protection is convincing in terms of cost and robustness, saves weight plus space and is easy to install. But how does it work?

Simple handling in operation, a high level of protection and flexibility are just some of the benefits of intrinsic safety. By following a few basic rules, you can make getting started with this degree of protection even easier.

As part of the energy revolution, liquefied natural gas (LNG) can make an important contribution to supply security as a transition solution. Since LNG is highly flammable, explosion protection must be guaranteed throughout the entire value chain.
