1. A gas processing container for liquefying gases, comprising:
- a plurality of walls configured to form a chamber having an air-tight seal;
gas processing equipment in the chamber to convert gaseous materials to liquid, at least some of the gas processing equipment configured to operate inside the chamber at temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius or below; and
a conduit seal assembly extending through a first wall of the plurality of walls, the conduit seal assembly comprising;
an outer conduit having a first end with a first opening and a second end, opposite the first end, with a second opening;
a first seal in the first opening for resisting a first range of temperatures;
a second seal in the second opening for resisting a second range of temperatures that extends below the first range of temperatures, the first and second seals defining a cavity and providing an air-tight seal of the cavity; and
a temperature-resistant internal boot that further protects the second end, wherein the temperature-resistant internal boot maintains flexibility at temperatures of −
150 degrees Celsius and below.

Abstract
A conduit seal assembly includes an outer conduit having a first end with a first opening and a second end, opposite the first end, with a second opening. A first seal is positioned in the first opening for resisting a first temperature, and a second seal is positioned in the second opening for resisting a second temperature less than the first temperature. The first and second seals define a cavity and provide an air-tight seal of the cavity, and the assembly includes a monitoring assembly configured to sense a characteristic in the cavity.
