MagDrive Technologies

LNG / Cryogenic

Engineered for Extreme Cryogenic Performance

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and cryogenic applications demand reliable valve performance in some of the harshest operating conditions in the world. At temperatures  approaching -300°F, conventional sealing systems and actuation mechanisms fail under thermal contraction, creating operational risk, product loss, downtime, and fugitive emissions.

For operators managing LNG production, transport, storage, and cryogenic processing, reliability and containment performance are critical to both operational efficiency and long-term profitability.

Why LNG Operators Are Turning to MagDrive

MagDrive’s magnetically actuated valves (MAVs) are engineered to eliminate the traditional valve stem leak path entirely, enabling true zero-emission performance even in extreme cryogenic environments.

By eliminating valve stem packing failures and using advanced materials to maintain valve integrity, MagDrive helps operators reduce fugitive emissions, minimize product loss, improve operational reliability, and maintain performance under severe thermal stress.

The result is a valve platform designed for safer, more efficient, and more resilient LNG and cryogenic operations.
