MUNICH, GERMANY--(Marketwire - Nov 26, 2012) - The technology company The Linde Group has
received
an order for a mid-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant from Malaysia
LNG
Sdn. Bhd., a production subsidiary of Malaysia's national oil and gas
company
PETRONAS. The new boil-off gas re-liquefaction facility has a maximum
design
capacity of 1,840 tons of LNG per day and will be located in the Bintulu
LNG
complex in Sarawak, East Malaysia.
Professor Dr Aldo Belloni, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG, said:
"This is the latest in a series of mid-scale LNG projects for Linde with
particularly demanding technical features. We came off as winners in a
highly
competitive bidding process, reaffirming our design and engineering
expertise
and cost competitiveness in the growing natural gas liquefaction market."
Linde's Engineering Division will perform detail engineering, procurement,
construction and commissioning of the plant. Linde's proprietary LNG
process and
core cryogenic heat exchanger has been customized to re-liquefy boil-off
gases
from LNG storage and ship-loading and to accommodate large variations in
nitrogen content, flow rate and temperature. Linde's customized process
will
also enable Malaysia LNG to minimize flaring. The new plant is expected to
go on
stream end of 2014.
