Air Products will provide its proprietary LNG technology, equipment and related process license to Golden Pass Products, a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil, for the Golden Pass LNG Export Project in Texas.
The $10bn project is adding liquefaction and export capabilities to the existing LNG import terminal near Sabine Pass.
The new project’s estimated send out capacity will be around 16 million tonnes of LNG per year. The facility is expected to start up in 2024.
Air Products will supply its proprietary AP-C3MRTM natural gas liquefaction technology and equipment, and three of its MCR® Main Cryogenic Heat Exchangers, which will be installed at the heart of the proprietary propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant liquefaction process for the three-train facility.
