Following successes at several LNG installations and pipelines, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques has now delivered pipe weld purging systems to the Cove Point LNG Project in Maryland, USA
Dominion, owner of the Cove Point LNG facility, is to increase its output dramatically and an expansion project is underway in which 30inch stainless steel pipes are being welding for gas transport The innovative Argweld Quick Purge System manufactured in the UK by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques can facilitate the welding of 30inch joints in under 10 minutes, and has been applied on LNG projects at Milford Haven (UK) and Sabine Pass (USA)

Following demonstrations at Cove Point it seems likely that Dominion will place orders for further Quick Purge equipment covering the pipe diameter range between 10 and 32 inches (250 to 800 mm) echoing comments of existing users Babcocks, Bechtel, Ledwoood, CBI and Shaw Group, that an effective seal and perfect purge is achieved very quickly.
Users of Quick Purge systems also report dramatic reductions in consumption of purge gas.
Dominion Cove Point is located on Chesapeake Bay, and is one of the largest LNG import facilities in the USA.
