Natural gas is a cornerstone in the supply of energy: it is the fastest growing main source of fuel; however, to be transported, it must be liquefied to reduce its volume sixhundred times. This is done by lowering the temperature down to -162°C.
The Zipfluid loading arms for LNG transfer are specially designed for loading and unloading of road or rail tankers: special attention has been paid to
the selection of materials and special welding procedures to withstand the extremely low temperatures, and to the nitrogen piping, to keep the swivel dry and prevent ice formation.
Our LNG Stations
The loading arms for the specific transfer of LNG are specially designed for the loading and unloading of road, rail or sea tankers.
Thanks to the robust, high-quality construction of the swivel joints and the precise balancing of the loading arm, handling is effortless.
