LNG Sampler
Introducing the next step
in LNG sampling
The challenge
Essential in density and GCV determination is sample
handling, especially transition from liquid to gas phase.
The big challenge is the temperature LNG of -162°C while
the ambient temperature may exceed even +50°C. It is
essential that pre-vaporization and partial vaporization of LNG is avoided under all circumstances, that the
LNG is flash-vaporized and that the gas sample is
homogeneous before analysis/lab sampling.
The solution
The ASaP 8943 LNG probe vaporizer which takes
representative samples for online analysis, lab sampling
or both.

Vaporization
The actual vaporization occurs over an adjustable cryogenic needle valve, which also controls the flow.
Description
The ASaP 8943 LNG probe vaporizer is divided into three (3) main sections:
Cold section
Cold section
Vaporizing/
Flash section
Hot section
• Filtering of sample.
• De-bubbling of sample.
• Sub-cooling of sample.
• All cryogenic parts are vacuum
insulated.
Vaporizing/Flash section
• Vaporization of sample.
• Flow control of sample.
Hot section
• Supportive latent heat to vaporize
the sample.
• Mix the sample in order to assure
a homogeneous gas phase sample.

Current problems
Most of the existing devices for LNG sampling
consist of a take-off assembly, an insulated
transport line and a vaporizer. The following can
happen in these systems:
• The insulation on take-off and transport line
is insufficient and causes an unstable sample flow and composition.
• Pumping action of the LNG to or from
tankers may cause bubbles which can be
trapped in the sample to the vaporizer.
• “Flash” vaporization is not guaranteed. This
can result in analyses that do not represent
the composition in the liquid phase.
The solution
The advantages
The ASaP 8943 LNG probe vaporizer for online
representative samples for continuous analysis,
lab sampling or both.
• The design criteria are based on the Keep It
Simple (KIS) principle.
• No pre-vaporization and partial vaporization.
• No moving parts.
• Representative, homogeneous sample.
• Robust to withstand harsh industrial, sea
coastal and desert climates.
• Compact with a small foot print.
• Meets all requirements with respect to safety
and hazardous area classification.
• Cost price is extremely competitive compared
to all current alternatives.
• Installation is very simple to minimize costs.
• The design is robust, so the operating costs
are kept to an absolute minimum.
• Conform ISO 8943 and EN 12838.
Field tests
The ASaP 8943 LNG probe vaporizer was extensively
tested in Germany and The Netherlands. The test locations
had an operation program with multiple start/stops, providing the test conditions for a worst-case scenario. In terms
of performance, robustness and reliability. It was concluded
that without a doubt the ASaP 8943 LNG probe vaporizer
passed all tests with flying colours!

for good measure
A happy customer from the Middle East:
The functionality of the system was tested and the outcome is above expectation.
Even without proper insulation on the transfer part, the contact temperature on the bottom
part (close to the hot section) was found to be below -150°. With the investment in
ASaP’s 8943 LNG probe vaporizer, a return on investment of 1 to 2 weeks is predicted!
