GeniaGas is providing liquefied natural gas supply service to users located in areas where natural gas cannot be conveyed through pipelines.
LNG is the abbreviation of “Liquefied Natural Gas”. It is a very efficient fuel with high calorific value. It is lighter than air, doesn’t have odor, color and corrosive characteristic, and it is not poisonous. It consists significantly of methane (CH4), and slightly of ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane (C4H10) and other hydrocarbons. It is obtained by cooling and liquefying natural gas under an atmospheric pressure of -162°. LNG, which is developed for ease of transportation and storage, is imported to our country through special vessels. It is stored and transported in special tanks for its temperature not to increase. The volume of LNG in liquid phase is 600 times smaller compared to natural gas. At the place of its use, it is converted to gas phase from liquid phase, and its volume genleşir by again 600 times. As it is purified from contaminants in the liquefaction process, it is more efficient and clean than natural gas.

At the place of its use, it is converted to gas phase from liquid phase, and its volume expands by again 600 times. As it is purified from contaminants in the liquefaction process, it is more efficient and clean than natural gas.
As LNG is a cryogenic (excessively cold) liquid, the transportation and storage operations are being realized in tanks conforming to cryogenic conditions. These tanks consist of two separate intertwined containers. LNG is stored in the inner non-corrosive tank, and the outer tank is being used for isolation. There are safety systems in all the tanks.
The evaporators are completely manufactured of aluminum, and they convert the LNG to gas phase through their high thermal conversion properties. They don’t require additional energy and maintenance costs.
