Emergency LNG Supply
Emergency LNG supply restores natural gas to a facility after a sudden loss of pipeline service. A provider dispatches LNG trailers and mobile vaporization to the site, ties into the gas header downstream of the meter, and typically has gas flowing within 24 to 72 hours of the call, depending on distance and demand.
The first hour: what to have ready
Response speed depends on information. Have your peak and average gas demand (therms or MMBtu per day), delivery pressure requirement, a site plan showing truck access and the tie in point, and your utility's outage estimate. With those four items, a provider can size equipment and dispatch immediately.
What arrives on site
LNG transport trailers, mobile vaporizers, pressure regulation, and a technician crew that installs, tests, and commissions the temporary connection. Deliveries then rotate on a schedule matched to your burn rate, with tank telemetry preventing runouts, until pipeline service resumes.
Reducing response time before you need it
Facilities with high outage costs sign standby agreements: the tie in is pre engineered, equipment is reserved, and response time is contractual rather than best effort. During a regional event such as a winter storm, standby customers are served first, which is the difference between hours and days of downtime.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can emergency LNG arrive?
Commonly 24 to 72 hours from call to gas flowing, faster for sites with existing standby agreements and pre built tie ins.
What does emergency supply cost?
Mobilization plus delivered gas and daily equipment rental. It is almost always far cheaper than the downtime it prevents.
Can emergency LNG serve a hospital or utility load?
Yes. Systems scale from single buildings to utility citygate injections, subject to demand data and access.
What should we prepare before an outage ever happens?
Know your demand and pressure, identify a tie in point and truck access, and consider a standby agreement if downtime is expensive.
