UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, has been selected by Malaysia’s Petronas to provide technology for acid gas removal on the Petronas Floating LNG 1 or PFLNG 1 project. The facility will use Honeywell’s UOP Amine Guard FS process to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from LNG feed streams. Scheduled for startup by the end of 2015, the FLNG unit will be moored off the coast of Sarawak, Malaysia and is designed to produce 1.2 MM tons per year of LNG.
Honeywell’s UOP Amine Guard FS process was developed to reduce acid gas contaminants to very low levels prior to liquefaction. The technology has been modified for use in a floating service environment to minimise plot size, weight and cost, while improving reliability, resistance to rocking motion and expanding the operating envelope, said the company. The acid gas removal system was designed in cooperation between Petronas and Honeywell’s UOP to obtain a process capable of expansion and handling various feed stream contaminant concentrations.
