Abstract
1. INDRUCTION At the time of the ongoing development of technology, first and foremost in industry and automation, attempts are made to devise increasingly innovative, environment-friendly technical solutions. The improvement of manufacturing processes allowed the use of natural gas as an energy carrier, currently the most valuable raw material. LNG is created from gaseous state in the process of liquefaction. This change in the state of matter allows the volume of gas to be reduced 600 times so that it can be profitably transported over long distances. In global trade, a quarter of natural gas is transported in a liquefied state. The process of gas liquefaction entails very thorough purification of the gas, separating compounds harmful to health and the natural environment. LNG is a very clean and safe fuel, characterized by, inter alia, complete elimination of moisture.
