How we control humidity levels for the successful preservation of your LNG spare parts

Are you seeking effective ways to preserve LNG spare parts for long-term storage?

The Cocoon Mothballing System has been a proven solution since 80 years, offering flexibility, airtight sealing, and weather resistance.

Originally used for marine vessels and aircraft, this system has evolved to serve various industries, including offshore platforms and production lines.

The key to successful preservation is controlling humidity levels

The Cocoon Mothballing System maintains a relative humidity of 38-40%, preventing mold and corrosion. This meticulous control ensures the longevity and integrity of your valuable spare parts, making it ideal for LNG applications.

How does the Cocoon Mothballing Process look like?

The mothballing process has 4 different steps

1. Cocoon Foil Application: The process begins with the application of a durable, weather-proof, and flexible Cocoon foil.
2. Webbing Technique: This step reinforces the structure.
3. Applying Cocoon Materials: These materials form a seamless protective 'skin'.
4. Dehumidification: An automatic dehumidifier with an air circulation system ensures optimal conditions, monitored 24/7.

Storage options for your LNG spare parts

Cocoon Mothballing offers various storage options to suit different needs:

• External Storage: Either with a Cocoon envelope or in a plywood box with Cocoon finishing.
• Internal Storage: In Cocoon warehouses, either with internal or external Cocoon finishing.
