OHL report - The best LNG solutions

Over the last 20 years, OHL Gutermuth has supported more than 50 LNG projects. The global company supplies quality valves that have passed cryogenic tests in accordance with the highest global standards. OHL carries out the cryogenic test procedures independently at its Altenstadt headquarters – including as a service for external companies.

At the start of 2024, OHL Gutermuth is involved in eight international LNG projects that the industrial valve manufacturer supplies with highly functional valves. These are used, for example, in LNG tank farms and are optimised for this sector. The special valves produced in the company’s own production facilities, such as the KXT butterfly valve, have to pass extensive functional tests before delivery. OHL carries out the cryogenic tests using state-of-the-art technology on modern test tracks. The cryogenic test procedures are carried out in various different steps: first, liquid nitrogen is pumped into a large tank at -196 °C. During the next step, the valves are immersed in the liquid nitrogen until they are thoroughly chilled. Gaseous helium is then used to test the end-to-end consistency. This ensures that all components are ice-proof. OHL places the highest demands on the tightness and operational safety of all components at extreme temperatures.
