Liquefaction offers a unique solution for transporting natural gas located in areas far from a pipeline infrastructure. LNG stands for liquefied natural gas, and is produced by cooling down natural gas below its dew point. Methane usually accounts for about 85-95% of LNG, which may also contain other hydrocarbons such as ethane, a little propane and butane (natural gas liquids) and traces of nitrogen. LNG shares many of the properties of methane, being odourless, colourless, non-corrosive and non-toxic.

Inexpensive modifications to gas scrubbers have minimized the danger of salt precipitation clogging sales gas compressors. A few years ago,  researchers and Kollsnes staff addressed the problem of liquid being transferred (carried over) from inlet separators (scrubbers) to Troll sales gas compressors. The performance of the five compressors began to falter early in 2001, and in August 2001 one of them broke down completely.
