New fuels in the USA

The growth in the LNG industry continues unabated, doubling every eight to nine years. In the USA, the LNG market is expanding rapidly as shale gas fields are used increasingly as a source of energy to reduce the country’s dependency on foreign oil. Consequently, vast quantities of trailers and re-gasification units are being produced for transporting LNG throughout the country.

Herose supply cryogenic valves and valve packages for a wide range of equipment as the industry moves towards fuelling trailers and other vehicles. Thanks to the quality of our product ranges and the exceptional service levels of our American distributors at Ratermann Manufacturing, Herose are a leading supplier of LNG cryogenic valves to the North American market.

Herose is a worldwide supplier of ball valves including fire-safe safety valves used in LNG filling stations. For US trailer and regasification equipment, Herose supply control valves, emergency shutdown (ESD) valves, including class 1, div 1 actuators for use in hazardous areas. ESD valves have closing times of less than 3 seconds, this is crucial for protecting plant and personnel.
