US-based Air Products has reported that Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil have selected its new AP-X(TM) liquefaction process technology the Qatargas II Facility Expansion Project.
Air Products provides natural gas liquefaction process technology, main cryogenic heat exchange equipment, plus other key process equipment components in the AP-X process.
Each single LNG process train for the Qatargas II facility, which is located in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar, will be rated for an annual LNG production capacity of approximately 7.8 million tons per year (MM TPY). This production capacity is 50 percent larger than any other LNG plant currently in operation or under construction. The Qatargas II expansion facility is scheduled to be on-stream in late 2007.— (menareport.com)
