Explore our premium configurations of skid-mounted and vehicle-mounted LNG solutions, engineered specifically for rugged terrains and remote operations.
Chile's unique geographical profile, characterized by its long, narrow topography squeezed between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, poses significant energy transmission challenges. Major mining and agricultural hubs in Northern Chile (such as the Antofagasta and Atacama regions) are highly energy-intensive but frequently sit hundreds of kilometers away from centralized pipeline infrastructure. This dynamic has driven the adoption of virtual pipelines, relying heavily on truck-mounted and skid-mounted Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants to decentralize fuel distribution and replace carbon-heavy diesel generators.
Under Chile's National Energy Strategy (Planificación Energética Nacional) and its aggressive targets to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, industries—particularly copper and lithium mining operations—are facing strict carbon tax compliance measures. Transitioning thermal processes and heavy mining fleets from diesel to LNG is the most viable medium-term solution. Skid-mounted liquefaction units enable the capture of stranded bio-gas and small-scale natural gas pockets locally, turning previously unfeasible energy sources into reliable fuel supplies for off-grid operations.
Building permanent concrete-foundation liquefaction facilities in Chile involves complex permitting procedures, high capital expenditure (CAPEX), and environmental impact assessments that can take years to clear. In contrast, Skid-Mounted LNG Plants offer:
Harnessing thermodynamic innovations from Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Our plants leverage advanced Mixed Refrigerant Cycles (MRC). Optimized by researchers from CAS, this approach delivers a 15-20% higher thermodynamic efficiency compared to traditional nitrogen expansion loops, reducing energy consumption to 0.32-0.35 kWh/kg LNG.
Before liquefaction, natural gas is processed through our integrated deacidification (amine wash) and molecular sieve dehydration skids, reducing CO2 content to under 50 ppm and water to less than 0.1 ppm to prevent cold-box freezing.
Equipped with fail-safe PLC/DCS architectures supporting remote SCADA telemetry. Operational parameters can be monitored remotely from Santiago or our global support centers, allowing for predictive maintenance scheduling.

Oversaw 50+ sets of small skid-mounted liquefaction deployments globally, coordinating aerospace-grade thermodynamic systems for commercial applications.
Ph.D. candidate and senior engineer at CAS. Author of 24 international peer-reviewed academic papers. Expert in cryogenic engineering and international supply chain management, driving standard compliance for Latin American oil & gas projects.
Doctor of Engineering, CAS. Renowned expert in phase-change heat transfer dynamics of mixed working mediums. Spearheaded the specification design of our standard skid-mounted LNG product line, resolving complex high-altitude pressure variance issues.
Proven execution model designed to withstand extreme mountain conditions and harsh environments.
Operating at an elevation of 2,400 meters above sea level in the Atacama Desert, a prominent copper processing facility needed to replace 20,000 liters of daily diesel consumption. The logistics of building physical gas pipelines were impossible due to rough Andean topography.
We designed, manufactured, and shipped an integrated, winterized, and seismically reinforced Skid-Mounted Natural Gas Liquefaction Plant. The entire setup was pre-commissioned at our Langfang factory, reducing field installation time in Chile to just 22 days. The plant liquefies pipeline gas at a nearby hub, enabling a secure virtual pipeline truck delivery system to the mine, lowering thermal fuel costs by 28% and particulate matter emissions by 95%.

Selecting an LNG plant manufacturer requires careful balancing of quality, safety certifications, and lead times. By centralizing our design, raw material sourcing, and A2 pressure vessel manufacturing in China’s premium industrial zone, we pass significant structural benefits down to our international clients.
Unlike regional packagers, we construct the entire skid assembly—including non-standard pressure vessels, cryogenic cold boxes, heat exchangers, and purification towers—internally. This minimizes inter-skid tolerance issues and ensures that ASME Sec VIII and GB structural codes are met under unified QA inspection programs.
Each unit undergoes full structural alignment testing, hydrostatic pressure checking, vacuum integrity verification on cold boxes, and simulation loops on the automated DCS panels. This rigorous testing protocol minimizes start-up errors when the plant reaches its destination in Chile.
Our skids conform precisely to shipping container profiles, allowing for seamless shipping through the Port of Tianjin directly to Valparaíso, San Antonio, or Mejillones. This cuts transport costs and helps avoid import clearance delays.
From cryogenic gas liquefaction to industrial gas purification, exploration, and non-standard pressure vessels.
