The liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is an important part of the global energy sector, playing a crucial role in energy supply and environmental protection. LNG is the liquid form of natural gas, with methane as its main component. It is typically cooled from its gaseous state to -161.5℃ under normal pressure to achieve liquefaction. The volume of liquefied natural gas is approximately 1/625 of the volume of the same amount of gaseous natural gas, and its mass is only about 45% of that of the same volume of water. It has the characteristics of high calorific value, being clean and environmentally friendly, and being flammable and explosive.
LNG can be used for residential gas supply and power generation, such as combustion power generation and cold energy power generation; it can also be used as a fuel for vehicles, with advantages like high octane value and good anti-explosion performance; it can also be used as a chemical raw material, for manufacturing fertilizers, methanol solvents and synthetic acetic acid and other chemical products; ethane and propane can be cracked to produce plastic raw materials such as ethylene and propylene.
Valves are the "safety control core" of the entire liquefied natural gas (LNG) value chain. They need to operate stably under extreme conditions such as ultra-low temperature (-161.5℃) and high pressure. Bahe Valves is dedicated to providing high-quality flow control solutions for oil, gas, and downstream processing enterprises worldwide, ensuring precise fluid transportation and regulation, and guaranteeing safety, efficiency, and low loss.
