At how many points in an LNG plant project do you have the chance to give the project a decisive impulse in the right direction? With a project duration of up to ten years, this is probably an unanswerable question. But even if we leave out the planning phase up to the formulation of the tender and only consider the project phases that follow: From here on, how many parameters determine the success of the project? The number still remains impressively high. In any case, one strategy for success is to differentiate risks into delegable and non-delegable risks. And this is where CRYOPERL® comes into play: simply delegate the tank insulation problem to Knauf. Sounds unthinkable?
Let's take a look at where the potential risks are in the area of "selecting the insulation provider":
1. The supplier could run into economic difficulties or even have to file for bankruptcy over the several years of the EPC process. CRYOPERL® eliminates this risk through the sheer power of the Knauf Group with 35,000 employees around the world.
2. The supplier could be unable to deliver at precisely the time when the insulation material is needed at short notice due to client-side project delays. You can also delegate this risk to CRYOPERL®with a clear conscience. This is because Knauf does not purchase the CRYOPERL® raw material - but operates the extraction mine in Milos, Greece, itself.
3. Prior to the test operation, there may be handling problems in connection with the delivered perlite. You can also put this risk out of your mind: Our exclusive partner for logistics and backfilling is a specialist in the field of silo logistics with vacuum technology and has practical experience from the largest LNG projects worldwide.
As you can see, we can relieve you of a few hardships. But don't worry, your job remains complex enough even with us.
