CryoSys

What CryoSys does

CryoSys is a privately held U.S. engineering firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hockley, Texas (greater Houston), that designs and builds compact LNG liquefaction plants, LNG fueling station infrastructure, and integrated gas processing systems. The company's core technical asset is its proprietary Optimized Mixed Refrigerant (OMR™) process, protected as a trade secret, which allows refrigerant composition to be tuned to each application's ambient and inlet-gas conditions while minimizing compression power. Plant architectures are built around a single rotating equipment train with claimed 99% availability and 5-year maintenance intervals, with the cold box insulated in perlite and serving a dual role as secondary containment.

CryoSys's product line is tiered across capacity bands: Micro LNG plants (up to 4 MMscfd), Small and Medium Scale LNG plants (5 MMscfd and above), and reference projects including 66,000 GPD and 25,000 GPD OMR plants. The portfolio also includes LNG heavy hydrocarbon recovery, LNG truck loading stations (with explicit targeting of mining haul trucks), and pre-treatment modules for CO2/H2S, mercury, and dehydration — enabling integrated single-vendor delivery across the midstream LNG value chain. Customer end-uses span power generation, mining, vehicle fueling, industrial boilers, diesel displacement, and energy storage/peak shaving, with mining and power generation flagged as primary segments.

Commercially, CryoSys operates as a custom plant builder on a direct, quote-based enterprise sales motion — pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company sells via inbound engagement ([email protected], +1 832-460-1000) and a maintained bilingual English/Spanish website that signals Latin American market outreach. The firm has 11–50 employees, no disclosed funding history, no named customers, no disclosed partnerships or M&A, and a single named sales leader (Loyd Guillot, Director of Sales). Revenue is not publicly reported, and the business is project-based with no visible recurring-revenue or service-contract layer.

Core offering

CryoSys designs, engineers, and builds compact LNG liquefaction plants using its proprietary OMR (Optimized Mixed Refrigerant) technology, ranging from micro-scale (up to 4 MMscfd) to small/medium scale (5 MMscfd and above), with reference projects at 25,000 GPD and 66,000 GPD. The company also supplies LNG truck loading stations for mining and transportation and integrated gas processing modules (heavy hydrocarbon recovery, CO2/H2S removal, mercury removal, dehydration). Solutions are sold as custom-engineered, modular systems to industrial end-users.

Product overview

CryoSys provides a portfolio of compact LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) liquefaction plants and gas processing solutions. The core product line consists of Micro LNG Plants (up to 4 MMscfd) and Small/Medium Scale LNG Plants (5 MMscfd and above), both utilizing the proprietary OMR™ (Optimized Mixed Refrigerant) technology. Supporting modules include heavy hydrocarbon recovery, CO2/H2S removal, mercury removal, and dehydration systems, all integrated with the liquefaction process. The company also offers LNG truck loading stations for mining and transportation applications. Projects referenced include 66,000 GPD and 25,000 GPD OMR LNG plants. CryoSys positions itself as specializing in gas-to-liquid conversion with high reliability (99% availability) and 5-year maintenance intervals using single rotating equipment.
