Oct 31 (LNGJ) - Air Products has been contracted by Malaysian energy company Petronas to provide main cryogenic heat-exchanger (MCHE) technology as part of an upgrade of the Bintulu LNG liquefaction and export plant in Sarawak, the Malaysian state on the island of Borneo. The US company said replacements were part of a program being implemented to “extend the life and continue the superior performance and high reliability” of the MLNG Dua LNG facility in Bintulu.
Air Products, whose headquarters are in Allentown, Pennsylvania, said that this would be the second and third MCHE replacements provided by the company at this facility for the original units completed almost three decades ago. “Air Products is honored that our equipment’s reliability, performance and longevity have led our valued customer to remain with our leading technology yet again,” said Samir J. Serhan, Chief Operating Officer of Air Products. The company's LNG heat exchangers currently operate in over 100 LNG Trains in 20 countries around the world.
