Air Products wins contract for TechnipFMC, JGC JV FLNG project
LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. — Air Products, a company in LNG technology and equipment, announced an agreement with TP JGC Coral France for the supply of its proprietary cryogenic coil wound heat exchanger technology and the liquefaction process license for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility to be located in the Indian Ocean, offshore Mozambique, Africa.
The FLNG facility being built by TP JGC Coral France, an incorporated JV formed by TechnipFMC and JGC Corporation, along with Samsung Heavy Industries, will utilize Air Products' dual mixed refrigerant process. The liquefaction capacity will be 3.4 MMtpy. The FLNG plant will be moored and operate on the surface above 6,500 ft of water in the Indian Ocean, in a natural gas field known as Area 4 of the Coral Field.
Typically, an LNG heat exchanger can be as large as over 15 ft in diameter and 180 ft long, or about two-thirds of the size of a football field. A finished unit can weigh as much as 500 t. To date, over 115 large coil wound heat exchangers have been deployed by Air Products at LNG facilities throughout the world.
In support of the LNG industry, Air Products provides process technology and key equipment for the natural gas liquefaction process for large export plants, small and mid-sized LNG plants, floating LNG plants and LNG peak shavers. Upstream, Air Products provides both nitrogen and natural gas dehydration membrane systems for offshore platforms. Downstream, Air Products provides membrane nitrogen generators for LNG carriers, and land-based membrane and cryogenic nitrogen systems for LNG import terminals and base-load LNG plants.
