LNG Testing and calibration facility

Client: VSL, the National Metrological Institute of the Netherlands

Characteristics: Technical support and project coordination

This first LNG test and calibration facility has made the deployment of LNG as a fuel for the transport sector more accessible. Before LNG can be widely deployed, there are a number of practical problems that need to be overcome. One such problem is the challenge of precisely and consistently measuring the quantity and quality of LNG. With their expertise based on cryogenic technology, Ekinetix helped VSL in the technical realisation of this project. A good project structure was also ensured so that this installation was commissioned safely and successfully following the regulations.

In 2021, based on operational experience, a number of improvements were made to this installation by Ekinetix.

The complete installation has now been relocated to another location on the Maasvlakte.
