High-Performance Expansion Joints for LNG Terminal in Europe
MACOGA has successfully designed and delivered high-performance metal expansion joints for the Boil-Off Gas (BOG) Compression System installed at an LNG terminal in Europe. This critical infrastructure upgrade enables efficient recompression and injection of BOG into the high-pressure grid, enhancing operational safety and reducing emissions.
Expansion Joint Key Features:
- Design Codes: EJMA and ASME Code & PED
- Bellows: 2 ply testable multi-ply SA-443 N06625 Gr.1
- Nominal Diameters: DN200 and DN250
- Design Pressures: up to 60 barg
- Test Pressures: up to 90 barg
The expansion joints have been subjected to a comprehensive and rigorous testing program to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance required for this demanding application.
Testing and Quality Assurance Procedures Included:
- 100% Radiographic Testing
- 100% Liquid Penetrant Testing
- 100% Magnetic Particle Testing
- Pneumatic Leak Detection Testing
- Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
- Dimensional and Visual Inspections
This project demonstrates MACOGA’s capability to engineer custom expansion joints for demanding cryogenic gas applications.
