Chemtex awarded seventh project in 3 years to deliver liquefied hydrocarbons (LNG) to rural China

China Natural Gas Co. Ltd,  (CNGC) selected Chemtex to design and build a 700 metric Tonnes per day liquid hydrocarbons (LNG) facility in Guang’an, Sichuan province, that will provide area residents with a cleaner and more economical fuel source for transportation, as well as industry and home use. This is a fast track project and completion is expected by early 2012.

“The new plant will create approximately 100 jobs,” said Li Zhongwei, General Manager of China Natural Gas Guangan Co. Limited. “In addition, CNGC is building 20 LNG gas stations for public transportation and bus fuel and 10 mobile LNG stations resulting in additional jobs for area residents.” 

Based on Black & Veatch’s LNG PRICO (single mixed refrigerant) technology, the Chemtex / Black & Veatch team is committed to CNGC to provide ‘first in class’ engineering, procurement and construction services, with lowest capital cost, simplified controls, minimal equipment and outstanding operational flexibility.

“With seven LNG contracts awarded to our team, out of which two are in operation, we are committed to China in developing this very important model to liquefy natural gas and effectively deliver clean energy and a natural resource, over long distances to remote locations, to uplift the standard of living,” said Guido Ghisolfi, CEO of Chemtex.
