Cryogenic Camera for LNG, LPG, and LN2
Niche Cryogenic Solutions (NCS) designed and developed a camera for operation in LNG, LPG, LN2, and other liquified gasses.
The use of our cryogenic camera is critical for preventative quality assurance inspections or for supporting debris removal after pump or headplate gasket failures. The camera has operated in the field numerous times giving our clients sight and information within their LNG tanks to help ensure the longest mean time between failures (MTBF) possible.
The guarantee of a debris free system for high pressure send out pumps, LNG transfer pumps, or cryogenic expanders is easy given the typical vessel design. With in-tank retractable LNG and LPG pumps, (Elliott Cryodynamics® Ebara® “ECR” models and Nikkiso® models with “-R”), the pumps sealing and operating location within the pump’s column is often at depths near 50 meters (160 feet) and often under liquid. Given these conditions, there is no way to safely ensure the area is free of debris, especially after pump failures without the use of an LNG rated camera system. Niche Cryogenic Solution’s Cryogenic Camera allows for easy inspection of the column and suction valve area as soon as the pump is removed providing information that can greatly reduce costs and extend the next unit’s run time. Using the Cryogenic Camera, NCS has successfully removed hardware, failed pump parts, ice, gasket materials, and other items through multiple different methods depending on the client’s requirements.
