Air Products’ LNG technology and equipment will be liquefying natural gas on a floating, liquefied natural gas (FLNG) production vessel 180 km (112 miles) off the coast of Sarawak of Malaysia’s Borneo island, and producing 1.2 million metric tons per year of LNG when the Petronas Floating LNG Project 1 (PFLNG 1) comes onstream in late 2015.
Air Products announced the signing of an equipment and process license agreement with Petronas Floating LNG 1 Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Petronas.
Bill Kennington, major account manager, LNG, with Air Products, said, “This FLNG project is very important for Malaysia by unlocking and enabling economic development and commercialization of significant gas reserves from locations where the resource was essentially stranded.”
PFLNG 1, to be located off the coast of Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia, will use Air Products’ AP-N LNG process and equipment. This proprietary equipment includes coil-wound heat exchangers to be built in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; compressor-expanders to be assembled in Fogelsville, Pa.; and economizer cold boxes to be built in Tanjung Langsat, Malaysia. The proprietary equipment will be shipped from these three Air Products manufacturing facilities for assembly into modules and then installed on the PFLNG 1 vessel.
