Honeywell helps power Mozambique's natural gas future with advanced LNG technology

The Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV) is set to address the rising global demand for natural gas and improve energy accessibility for millions in the area. This joint venture, which includes ExxonMobil, Eni S.p.A., and the China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC), intends to implement Honeywell UOP’s temperature swing adsorption-based SeparSIV^TM heavy hydrocarbon removal unit and MolSIV^TM unit for removing water and carbon dioxide.

This solvent-free LNG pretreatment process uses an adsorption-based system to remove water, carbon dioxide, mercury, and heavy hydrocarbons, ensuring minimal pressure loss. These units work together bring the LNG to the required specifications.

“Our technology is crucial for enhancing the quality of natural gas, ensuring that it meets strict industry standards,” said Rajesh Gattupalli, President of Honeywell UOP. “This not only helps in maximising production efficiency but also aligns with the industry push for cleaner energy solutions.”

“The integration of Honeywell's proven technologies into our design demonstrates our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility,” added Arne Gibbs, ExxonMobil Mozambique’s General Manager. “Together, we are helping pave the way for a cleaner energy future in Mozambique.”

ExxonMobil expects the Rovuma LNG facility to produce 18 million tpy of LNG, using 12 modular LNG liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 1.5 million tpy. To process the feed gas upstream of liquefaction trains, the design will utilise two parallel pretreatment trains of 9 million tpy each.
