MINIGAN
MINIGAN is a containerised standard cryogenic
and is suitable for outdoor installation on simple
foundations. This plant range is based on liquid
inject technology.
The MINIGAN comprises factory assembled
modules: the warm end container(s) and the
cold box. These modules are connected at our
factory during the factory acceptance test, where
practicable. Consequently, commissioning at site
is significantly reduced.
