Customer challenge: To measure the moisture in ppb level, an LNG liquefac tion plant based in the Middle East was operating the molecular sieve driers on time basis instead of measur ing the actual H 2 0 breakthrough. If the H 2 O analyzer doesn’t pick up any H 2 O breakthrough during the normal operation, it will end up in challenges in the down stream, causing a breakdown of the equipment in the liquification process. Operational challenges also include efficiency and energy loss and lifetime of molecular sieve. Our solution: Thanks to the installation of Endress+Hauser’s TDLAS analyzers (differential spectroscopy) at the common outlet, the driers are now operated based on actual H 2 O breakthrough, saving energy and extending the life of the molsieve. As the analyzers detect breakthroughs as low as at 0.06 ppm, the measurements are highly reli able. A built-in permeation device enables the on-field validation, helping the customer to check the perfor mance of the analyzer. Reliable trace moisture measurement in molecular sieve drier outlet

Customer challenge: A liquified natural gas plant in the US, transitioning from an import to export facility, was looking for a reliable partner during the design, engineering and execution phase of the project. The goal was to reduce the com plexity of the project management by dealing with as few suppliers as possible. Our solution: Endress+Hauser was involved in the early phase of the project with a wide portfolio of products, solutions and services. We offered a complete field instrumentation portfolio covering flow, level, pressure, temperature transmitters and analyzers. We enabled our customer to deal with a single party instead of multiple sup pliers thereby minimizing the complexities in project management. Simplified project management by relying on a single supplier

Customer benefit: • Easier project management • Simplified documentation plan • Local support

Customer benefit: • Increased drier efficiency • Extended molsieve lifespan • Fast and reliable measurement • Energy savings
