Air Products awarded contract for Coral FLNG project

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. — Air Products announced an agreement with TP JGC Coral France for the supply of its Medium and High Purity Nitrogen Package for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility to be located in the Indian Ocean, offshore Mozambique, Africa. This represents the company's second supply contract with TP JGC Coral France for this project. Earlier this year, Air Products announced an agreement to supply its proprietary cryogenic coil wound heat exchanger technology and liquefaction process license for the facility.

The FLNG facility being built by TP JGC Coral France, an incorporated joint venture formed by TechnipFMC and JGC Corporation, along with Samsung Heavy Industries, will utilize Air Products' advanced PRISM Membrane Separators to produce both medium- and high-purity nitrogen. The combined nitrogen production will exceed 100,000 Nm³/day. The FLNG plant will be moored and operate on the surface above 6,500 ft of water in the Indian Ocean, in a natural gas field known as Area 4 of the Coral Field.

In support of the LNG industry, Air Products provides process technology and key equipment for natural gas liquefaction processes. Upstream, Air Products provides both nitrogen and natural gas dehydration membrane systems for offshore platforms. Downstream, Air Products provides membrane nitrogen generators for LNG carriers, and land-based membrane and cryogenic nitrogen systems for LNG import terminals and base-load LNG plants.
