GEA delivers heat exchangers for LNG production to Yamal
March 12, 2014 + + + The operating company Yamal LNG intends to build
a plant based on the South Tambey field. GEA Batignolles Technologies
Thermiques (GEA BTT), a subsidiary of GEA Heat Exchangers, landed a record
order with a value of over 40 million Euros from the plant contracting
companies Technip and JGC. The order was for more than 400 air-cooled heat
exchangers for the three-line liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant under
construction on the Siberian peninsula of Yamal. GEA BTT will design the
heat exchangers, manufacture them over a period of three years, and
deliver them to the customer. Technip and JGC are developing and building
the first arctic LNG plant in Russia. Commissioning is planned for three
phases and is scheduled to take place from 2016 to 2018.
The
operating company Yamal LNG – in which Novatek holds 60 % interest, Total
and CNPC 20 % each, – intends to build a plant based on the South Tambey
field. The heat exchangers delivered by GEA will be installed in the three
LNG lines, each of which will process 5.5 million metric tons of gas
annually. The plant facilities will liquefy the extracted gas to reduce it
to one six-hundredth of its original volume. This makes it possible to
transport the gas economically by ship to markets of destination in Europe
and Asia. A special LNG tanker with capacity of 170,000 m³ has been
designed to enable LNG shipping the Arctic Ocean.
The plant
contracting companies also face a special climatic challenge. The GEA heat
exchangers are likewise required to withstand Siberian temperatures for
decades, and are designed accordingly. In this project, GEA Batignolles
Technologies Thermiques is profiting from experience gained from many
other projects in the power-plant, oil, and gas sectors. Philippe Piron,
CEO of GEA BTT and responsible for the Business Unit Air-Cooled Heat
Exchangers (AFC-ST): “I am pleased that our competence in LNG production
has received recognition in this manner, and that we have won the order
for this outstanding project.” The fact that GEA had gained extensive
experience in the design and construction of heat exchangers for highly
critical and climatically exceptional conditions of use also spoke
persuasively for awarding the contract to GEA.
