Feb 15 (LNGJ) - Renergen, South Africa’s small-scale liquefied natural gas and liquefied helium production company, has re-started LNG deliveries after a maintenance outage. The LNG plant is part of the Virginia Gas project located about 250 kilometres southwest of Johannesburg. “The delays suffered during the planned maintenance outage were primarily as a result of the scheduled maintenance period being brought forward to coincide with a helium coldbox repair,” said Renergen.
“The shut-down ran longer than expected owing to unexpected challenges experienced with the primary mixed-refrigerant compressor,” the company added in a statement to reassure investors. “The company will seek to obtain relief from insurance cover and or a contractual claim against its suppliers,” added Renergen.
