MOSCOW (MRC) -- Air Products announced it has signed an agreement with a consortium including Technip and JGC to implement the Yamal LNG Project, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
The LNG plant under construction on the Yamal Peninsula will mark the first time Air Products deploys its proprietary LNG technology and equipment in Russia. The plant will be Russia's largest LNG production and export facility.
Air Products will supply three MCR Main Cryogenic Heat Exchangers to be installed at the heart of the propane pre cooled mixed refrigerant liquefaction process. Each of these units using Air Products' proprietary AP-C3MR LNG process technology and equipment will produce 5.5 Mtpa of LNG, for the overall 16.5 Mtpa three train facilities.
LNG from the Yamal LNG Project will be used primarily to meet the growing energy needs of Asia and Pacific Region countries.
A majority of the total worldwide LNG is produced with Air Products' technology. Air Products has now designed, manufactured, and exported more than 100 coil wound heat exchangers for LNG projects around the globe over the last four decades. In support of the LNG industry, Air Products provides process technology and key equipment for the heart of the natural gas liquefaction process for large export plants, small and midsized LNG plants, floating LNG plants and LNG peak shavers.
Upstream, Air Products provides both nitrogen and natural gas dehydration membrane systems for offshore platforms. Downstream, Air Products provides dry inert gas generators for LNG carriers, shipboard membrane nitrogen systems, and land based membrane and cryogenic nitrogen systems for LNG import terminals and base-load LNG plants.
As MRC informed previously, earlier this year, Air Products agreed to acquire all of DuPont's interest in DuPont Air Products NanoMaterials, the two companies' 50-50 joint venture serving the global semiconductor and wafer polishing industries. The venture state-of-the-art applications and formulation laboratories in the US and Taiwan.
