Revolutionizing LNG Turnarounds: lessons from a high return on investment LNG case study.

Number: 88

Author(s) : SCHUENEMANN T.

Summary

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities face critical challenges in minimizing downtime during equipment decontamination, particularly in pre-treatment units such as mercury guard beds, dehydrators, and filters. Traditional nitrogen purging methods are time and resource intensive, often requiring large volumes of nitrogen and hundreds of hours to meet gas test requirements to begin maintenance activities. This success story at an LNG export facility achieved an 80% reduction in decontamination time and an 85% reduction in nitrogen usage. Over a four-year span and multiple repeat projects, the
new approach consistently delivered 100-hour time savings per mega train, a six-hour payback period, and a 2400% ($55 million dollars) return on investment to the client with every clean. This session will highlight the operational and economic benefits of adopting chemistry and technology in LNG applications and its potential to redefine industry standards for turnaround and maintenance outage efficiency. Attendees will leave with a scalable, efficient alternative to optimize maintenance timelines.
