Liquefaction Collection: Natural gas liquefaction chambers

Natural gas liquefaction chambers. Heat exchangers used at a liquified natural gas plant to cool natural gas into liquid form so that it can be more easily transported for use as a fuel

From quake-stricken ruins to industrial chambers, the concept spans the realm of geology and chemistry. The Wider Image invites us to ponder the talismans of former lives hidden in earthquake debris, while scientific innovations like the Cailletets apparatus and the processes of Davy and Faraday transformed gases into liquids. Meanwhile, in nature, the Shaggy Ink Cap mushroom undergoes its own liquefaction process, releasing ink as its cap decomposes. In the industrial world, natural gas is liquefied in vast plants, turning it into a valuable resource for transportation and storage. The transformation of states, whether in the earth or in the lab, continues to fascinate and inspire us.
