Freeport regasification terminal
Freeport LNG is expanding its existing LNG regasification terminal at Freeport, Texas, by adding liquefaction facilities. The expansion proposal was a result of the increase in the country's gas resources, due to the shale gas boom in recent years. The permits to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the project to free trade agreement (FTA) countries and any other non-FTA countries were granted by the US Department of Energy (DOE). The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) granted its final approval for the project in July 2014. Each of the three liquefaction trains will have a design capacity of 4.64 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). The first train is expected to come online in the third quarter 2018 and the remaining two trains are expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2019. Within this project Burckhardt Compression and GE International will supply several equipments for the liquefaction trains.
Flenco is pleased to have been selected as preferred partner by Burckhardt Compression Ag and General Electric International Inc. to supply its auxiliary systems for this project.
