Technology company The Linde Group has been awarded a contract to
provide engineering and procurement services for a 2.1 million tonnes
per annum (MTPA) natural gas liquefaction plant for Woodfibre LNG
Limited, a subsidiary of energy resources development company Pacific
Oil & Gas (PO&G). The Woodfibre LNG Project will be located in the
District of Squamish near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
"The Woodfibre LNG Project is of high strategic value for Linde, as it
bridges the gap in the LNG industry between traditional mid-scale and
large-scale LNG trains," said Professor Dr Aldo Belloni, member of the
Executive Board of Linde AG. "The Project will be the second largest
Linde-engineered LNG plant, surpassed in capacity only by the LNG
facility on Melkøya Island near Hammerfest, Norway."
The new plant will use Linde's proprietary LIMUM(R) technology, a
multi-stage mixed refrigerant process which achieves outstanding energy
efficiency. Based on the current project schedule, and subject to
regulatory approvals, the Woodfibre LNG Project will begin construction
in 2015, and be operational by 2017.
"Awarding this engineering contract to Linde marks an important
milestone for the Woodfibre LNG Project," said Alex Bridgen, Project
Director, Woodfibre LNG Project. "Woodfibre LNG is on track to become
one of the first LNG export facilities in operation on the west coast of
Canada, and partnering with Linde allows us to bring safe, clean and
reliable LNG technology to British Columbia."
Linde Engineering will be responsible for the extended basic engineering
as well as the procurement and supply of critical equipment items
including the coil-wound heat exchangers. Based on an
"all-electric-drive" using hydro power only, the plant's environmental
footprint with regard to Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) has been
minimized.
