LNG

June 26 (LNGJ) - The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has prepared an environmental assessment for the Fields Point liquefaction project at an existing storage facility at Providence, Rhode Island. The project is being developed by the US subsidiary of the UK’s National Grid, which has pipeline and supply operations in the US Northeast. The liquefaction train, including heat exchangers cooled by a closed-loop nitrogen refrigeration cycle, is part of an improvement project for an existing peak-shaving facility to guarantee supplies during peak demand periods in the winter. “LNG is crucial to meeting the demand for gas on the coldest winter days,” said the UK-based company. “The facility has been located here to provide safe and reliable service to customers for over 40 years,” it added.
