Libya
In 1966, Air Products received a contract from Esso Standard Libya, Inc., for the process license and supply of MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the natural gas liquefaction plant at Marsa el Brega, Libya. This was the first baseload LNG plant design implemented by Air Products and it uses an all-mixed refrigerant cycle.
Brunei
Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the natural gas liquefaction plant in Brunei. The project is a joint venture of Mitsubishi Shoji, Royal Dutch Shell, and the Sultanate of Brunei. This plant was the first to employ the propane-precooled MCR® Process (C3MR).
Abu Dhabi
Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for three liquefaction trains to the Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company for the baseload LNG plant on Das Island.
The Das Island LNG plant is capable of handling feed from a wide range of sources including combinations of various associated gases and "dry" or unassociated natural gas. The process is designed for high recovery of propane and greater than ninety percent recovery of butane and heavier hydrocarbons from the feed to produce separate LPG products. The project is a joint venture of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Mitsui & Co., British Petroleum, and Total.
Algeria
GL1Z – Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the baseload LNG plant at Bethioua, Algeria, designated GL1Z. This plant is owned and operated by SONATRACH, the Algerian national petroleum company.
GL2Z – Air Products was also selected as the supplier of process technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the second SONATRACH LNG plant at Bethioua, designated GL2Z.
When GL2Z began operation in 1981, together GL1Z and GL2Z comprised the largest LNG export facility in one location in the world.
Indonesia
P.T. ARUN – The P.T. Arun LNG plant is located at Lhokseumawe in north Sumatra. This plant is operated in association with ExxonMobil. The plant was expanded from three to five trains in 1983 and then to six trains in 1986. This facility was the first LNG plant to use two shaft gas turbine drivers for the refrigeration compressors.
P.T. BADAK – The P.T. Badak LNG plant is located at Bontang in East Kalimantan. This plant has been continuously expanded over the years. There are seven LNG trains, each with an original design capacity of 2.6 MTA. An eighth train, Train H, with expanded capacity of 2.9MTA was brought on-stream in 2000.
TANGGUH – Air Products liquefaction technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchanger have been selected for the two train Tangguh LNG export project in Papua Indonesia. This project is a joint venture of BP, MI Berav, CNOOC, Nippon Oil Exploration, KG Companies, and LNG Japan.
Malaysia
MLNG Satu – Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the first LNG plant located at Bintulu, Sarawak. This project is a joint venture of Mitsubishi Shoji, Royal Dutch Shell, and PETRONAS, the state oil and gas company of Malaysia.
MLNG Dua – Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for three additional trains constituting the MLNG Dua plant, also at Bintulu. This facility was the first LNG plant to utilize large single shaft gas turbines as refrigerant compressor drivers.
MLNG Tiga – Air Products technology was selected for the third Malaysian LNG project at Bintulu, the MLNG Tiga Plant Project, which came on-stream in 2003/2004.
Australia
Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the first three trains in Northwest Shelf Australia LNG project. The project participants are Woodside Offshore Petroleum, Broken Hill Proprietary, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, ChevronTexaco, and a Mitsui-Mitsubishi joint venture. This was the first LNG plant to use total air cooling.
Oman
Air Products technology was selected for the multiple train LNG facility at Qalhat in The Sultanate of Oman. Shareholders of Oman LNG are The Sultanate of Oman, Shell, Total, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Partex, Itochu, and Korea LNG.
The Oman facility set a new benchmark in 2000 for the LNG industry for specific CAPEX per MTA of LNG produced of less than $200/MTA.
Qatar
QATARGAS – Air Products delivered process technology and the MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for Qatargas for a three train project at Ras Laffan, Qatar in 1992. Qatargas is a joint venture of Qatar General Petroleum Corp., ExxonMobil, Total, Mitsui and Marubeni.
RASGAS LNG – Air Products delivered process technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for the second LNG plant in Qatar, also located at Ras Laffan. The RasGas LNG plant consists of two trains. The first train began production in 1999. The Ras Laffan LNG Co. Ltd. is a joint venture of Qatar General Petroleum Corp., ExxonMobil, and Japanese Trading Companies Sochu and Nissho Iwai.
Air Products delivered process technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers for Trains 3 & 4. These two trains were the first to utilize Air Products SplitMRTM machinery configuration which maximizes the utilization of the Frame 7 gas turbine drivers, thus achieving a single train capacity of 4.7 MTA. A fifth train is also under construction. In addition, RasGas has placed an order for an AP-X LNG system, with capacity of 7.8 MMTPY.
QATARGAS 2 – Air Products liquefaction technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchanger Equipment were selected for this new LNG export project in Qatar. This is the first LNG facility designed with the new AP-X® LNG Process. Two trains are under construction, each with capacity of 7-8 MMTPA.
QATARGAS 3 & 4 – The AP-X LNG process will also be used at the Qatargas 3 & 4 facilities, also being built at Ras Laffan Industrial City.
Nigeria
Air Products liquefaction technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchangers were selected for the Nigeria LNG project at Bonny Island, Nigeria. The plant began production in 1999, with a third train added in 2002. The partners in the Nigerian LNG Project are Nigerian National Petroleum Corp., Shell, Total, and Agip.
Air Products was subsequently selected to supply 3 additional trains for the Nigerian LNG Plus project.
Egypt
Air Products liquefaction technology and MCR* Cryogenic Heat Exchanger were selected for the Segas LNG project at the Port of Damietta, Egypt. At 4.8 MTA, this is the largest single LNG train in operation in the world. The partners in this facility are Union Fenosa, Eni, and local Egyptian shareholders.
Peru
Air Products liquefaction technology and MCR® Cryogenic Heat Exchanger were selected for Hunt Oil's Camisea LNG export project in Peru. The detailed process design package, "Greenbook" for this facility was completed in 2002 for a single, 4 MTA train. |
