The work is being co-funded under the British Government’s Innovate UK scheme and the work will be performed from CB&I’s Paddington, UK offices. The work will comprise design development of the ZR-LNG process for a gas turbine driven FLNG application based on multiple single train modules of nominal 1.5 MMtpy and 1.0 MMtpy capacity. To comply with the objectives of the Innovate UK grant regarding technology application in developing countries, the work will also include a pre-feasibility study of a land based Coal Seam Gas LNG plant in Botswana. The Botswana work will be performed by OTC, a Johannesburg based engineering company.
The ZR-LNG process requires no external refrigerants, using the methane feedgas as the refrigerant medium and eliminating refrigerant extraction or storage equipment. Refrigerant supply logistics to remote locations are eliminated and there are no refrigerant make-up costs. Absence of a liquid hydrocarbon refrigerant inventory reduces fire and blast risk, enhancing safety. All equipment is available from multiple vendors and the design concept has already been validated by BP and several large E&C companies active in LNG.
