Linde awarded engineering contract for
LNG plant in Canada
Sep 11, 2014 + + + Technology
company The Linde Group has been awarded a contract to provide engineering
and procurement services for a 2.1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) natural
gas liquefaction plant for Woodfibre LNG Limited, a subsidiary of energy
resources development company Pacific Oil & Gas (PO&G). The Woodfibre LNG
Project will be located in the District of Squamish near Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada.
"The Woodfibre LNG
Project is of high strategic value for Linde, as it bridges the gap in the
LNG industry between traditional mid-scale and large-scale LNG trains,"
said Professor Dr Aldo Belloni, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG.
"The Project will be the second largest Linde-engineered LNG plant,
surpassed in capacity only by the LNG facility on Melkøya Island near
Hammerfest, Norway."
The new plant will use
Linde's proprietary LIMUM(R) technology, a multi-stage mixed refrigerant
process which achieves outstanding energy efficiency. Based on the current
project schedule, and subject to regulatory approvals, the Woodfibre LNG
Project will begin construction in 2015, and be operational by 2017.
"Awarding this
engineering contract to Linde marks an important milestone for the
Woodfibre LNG Project," said Alex Bridgen, Project Director, Woodfibre LNG
Project. "Woodfibre LNG is on track to become one of the first LNG export
facilities in operation on the west coast of Canada, and partnering with
Linde allows us to bring safe, clean and reliable LNG technology to
British Columbia."
Linde Engineering will
be responsible for the extended basic engineering as well as the
procurement and supply of critical equipment items including the
coil-wound heat exchangers. Based on an "all-electric-drive" using hydro
power only, the plant's environmental footprint with regard to Greenhouse
Gas Emissions (GHG) has been minimized.
