Air Products to provide technology, equipment at Freeport LNG
Air Products will provide its proprietary LNG technology, equipment, and process license for Freeport LNG's Train 3 gas liquefaction and export project, officials announced on Wednesday.
The sale includes Air Products' main cryogenic coil-wound heat exchangers and associated technology, which will be vital in the production of LNG at the facility near Freeport, Texas.
"Similar to our Trains 1 and 2 before, we went for the tried and tested workhorse of the gas liquefaction industry — the APCI process — for our Train number 3," said Mark Mallett, Freeport LNG's senior vice president of operations and projects. "This technology is economic, efficient and reliable, and we look forward to our project's start-up and operations as we fully expect these crucial phases to be free of major problems."
Air Products will supply its LNG proprietary AP-C3MR liquefaction technology, and its MCR Main Cryogenic Heat Exchanger will be installed at the heart of the proprietary propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant liquefaction process.
Air Products' technology and equipment for Train 3 is scheduled to be onstream in 2019.
"We are pleased to have been successful in being selected as the LNG technology supplier for the third train at Freeport LNG, and proud to be able to say we are the supplier for all three trains to operate at the location," said Jim Solomon, director of LNG at Air Products.
"As the US LNG export market has continued to develop, our technology and equipment has consistently been the choice at several locations for LNG projects around the country," he added. "We look forward to continued involvement with the industry's coming projects."
Air Products' involvement in the US LNG export market, besides the three trains for Freeport LNG, includes providing the LNG technology and equipment for Dominion's liquefaction project at Cove Point in Lusby, Maryland, and three production trains for the Cameron LNG project in Hackberry, Louisiana.
