Air Products’ LNG Technology Chosen for Chinese Plant

Air Products has signed an agreement to supply its proprietary liquefied natural gas (LNG) process technology and equipment to French engineering firm Technip for a mid-scale project in Fengzhen City, Inner Mongolia Province, China.

The US gases producer said its single mixed refrigerant process technology will be key to a liquefaction train producing about 300,000 t/y of LNG for Fengzhen Wanjie Gas Co., which is due to start up in the second half of 2016.

Air Products also will handle the engineering, design and manufacture of the heat exchanger equipment for the liquefaction section. For the liquefaction process, the company's proprietary coil wound main cryogenic heat exchanger technology will be used.

The LNG produced will be distributed to the Chinese market to help meet the growing demand for clean energy.

Warren Miller, business manager LNG at Air Products, said the company expects additional projects of this kind, as the demand to make available the natural gas from more mid-size undeveloped gas reserves continues to increase.
