Air Products wins Freeport LNG terminal contract

Air Products has recently announced that an agreement has been signed deeming it the provider of its proprietary LNG technology, equipment, and process license for Freeport LNG Development L.P.’s Train 3 gas liquefaction and export project. The deal includes Air Products’ main cryogenic coil-wound heat exchangers and associated technology, which will be vital in the production of LNG at the facility near Freeport, Texas, US.

Air Products will supply its LNG proprietary AP-C3MR^TM liquefaction technology, and its MCR^® main cryogenic heat exchanger will be installed at the heart of the proprietary propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant liquefaction process. Air Products technology and equipment for Train 3 is scheduled to be onstream in 2019.

Air Products’ involvement in the US LNG export market, besides the three trains for Freeport LNG, includes providing the LNG technology and equipment for Dominion’s liquefaction project at Cove Point in Lusby, Maryland, and three production trains for the Cameron LNG Liquefaction Project, in Hackberry, Louisiana.

“We are pleased to have been successful in being selected as the LNG technology supplier for the third train at Freeport LNG, and proud to be able to say we are the supplier for all three trains to operate at the location,” said Jim Solomon, Director of LNG at Air Products. “As the US LNG export market has continued to develop, our technology and equipment has consistently been the choice at several locations for LNG projects around the country. We look forward to continued involvement with the industry’s coming projects.”
