LNG projects buy valves years ahead of commissioning. When a phase is deferred, re-scoped or descoped, the material is already on site or in a warehouse, already paid for, and no longer needed. That is where most cryogenic surplus comes from.
The second source is operational: early trains replaced valves during commissioning and early operation, and those units are usually documented and in good order. Both categories are worth reviewing carefully, because cryogenic valves are among the highest-value items in the surplus market.

Selling into this sector
What to expect
Equipment from this sector usually arrives with a mix of documentation: some items tagged and recorded, some with nothing at all. Send what exists. A partial record is worth more than a claim that records exist.
Mixed lots are normal. We do not ask you to separate the documented items from the rest before sending a list.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy crated LNG project surplus?
Yes. New-in-box cryogenic valves with certificates are the strongest possible category.
What documentation is needed?
Impact test and material certificates, plus the original purchase specification if available.
Can you handle large cryogenic valves?
Yes, including vacuum jacketed and long-stem designs.
