Hello everybody,

Me and my college are 2 students that are doing a trainee at a LNG plant. The maintenance manager wants to know if there is a product or a way to repair a leak in for instance a inspection hatch when the plant is still at the temperature of -163C. So some sort of paste or wrap or anything that can handle the low temperature and a pressure of about 25 Bar. There has to be a possibility to open up the hatch afterwards (like once a year) but even a product that can delay the leak to plan a repair for when there is a ship loading is fine.

This because performing a repair forces the plant to warm up to environment temperature and that takes days.

Do you guys have any solution for quick leak repair in the cryogenic world? Thank you!
