US plant progress
Nov 11 (LNGJ) - Venture Global said the first two liquefaction Trains for the company’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Cameron Parish in Louisiana had arrived. The optimized Trains, each with 600,000 tonnes of capacity, were less than 15 months after the project’s final investment decision. The Trains and mixed-refrigerant compressor skids were shipped to Louisiana from the Baker Hughes fabrication site in Avenza, Italy.
Each Train, delivered complete and ready to install, was successfully unloaded, transported onto the Calcasieu Pass site and positioned on its foundations in less than a day. Venture Global said the first and second of the project’s 18 identical Trains would now be connected to their respective brazed aluminium heat-exchangers, eight of which are already installed on site after being delivered by US supplier Chart Industries.
