Black & Veatch has awarded Techouse a contract to deliver heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) modules for Golar LNG’s fourth floating LNG (FLNG) project. The unit will require 20 – 25% less fuel compared to conventional sys-tems based on gas turbines only.
Techouse’s scope includes the delivery of two HRSG modules, each weighing approximately 1000 t, which will house the HRSG units. Techouse will also provide the supporting systems required to run the HRSG modules. The company will deliver the system as a subcontractor to Black & Veatch, which is responsible for the FLNG topside solutions.
“This is a large and strategically important contract for Techouse, for an energy recovery technology that we have delivered multiple times to similar offshore projects. We look forward to supporting Black & Veatch and Golar LNG in making this project a success,” said Svein Helge Pettersen, CEO of Techouse.
Techouse’s combined cycle power plant is a heat and power solution where heat recovery steam generators use the heat from the exhaust of the gas turbines to generate pressurised superheated steam. The steam is then used to produce electrical power in steam turbines and heat to the LNG process. All electrical power on board is normally generated by steam turbines using steam recovered from exhaust heat from the gas turbines that drive compressors for cooling of gas to LNG.
Techouse will manage engineering and procurement from the company’s offices in Norway. Fabrication of the HRSG units will be conducted by Techouse’s partner, Alpha ECC, in Vung Tau City, Vietnam, before being shipped to Himile Heavy Industries, China, where they will be assembled into a complete HRSG module.
Work on the project commences immediately. The plan is to deliver the HRSG modules by the end of 2028. Techouse will also support with installation and commissioning of the system.
The project is the fourth FLNG unit that Golar LNG develops. Techouse has previously delivered its HRSG technology to FLNG Gimi and FLNG Esperanza, but this is the first time the company delivers a complete HRSG module to Black & Veatch/Golar LNG.
“Being chosen as supplier of the complete HRSG module confirms that we deliver robust and reliable technology tailored to demanding offshore environments. In addition to the energy consumption savings, we focus on designing our HRSG modules compact and lightweight, with the cost and environmental benefits this offer,” added Pettersen.
On 7 October 2026, Golar LNG announced that it has agreed to acquire the LNG carrier, Grace Dahlia, from NYK Line. The vessel is intended to be used for conversion into Golar LNG’s fourth FLNG unit. The FLNG will be converted with a final redelivery scheduled for 2029.
