| ConocoPhillips and Bechtel to Construct World's Largest LNG Train ConocoPhillips, the third largest integrated energy company in the US and the fifth largest refiner in the world, and Bechtel, the California engineering giant, announced that the world's newest and largest operating Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant has been transferred to Atlantic LNG of Trinidad and Tobago after passing a performance test. The plant, which was engineered and constructed by Bechtel, uses the ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade process designed to safely and efficiently meet the growing demand for clean-burning natural gas. The services are provided by ConocoPhillips Company, Phillips LNG Technology Services Company and Bechtel Corporation via a collaborative relationship with ConocoPhillips Company. The plant has a nominal capacity of 5.2 million tonnes per year and was delivered three months ahead of schedule. Atlantic LNG’s Train 4 is the third ConocoPhillips – Bechtel LNG train to achieve the distinction of being the largest operating LNG plant in the world at the time of its startup. In 1969, the ConocoPhillips-operated Kenai, Alaska plant pioneered the Pacific LNG trade. In 1999, the first train at Atlantic LNG held the record for the largest single train after its startup. Now Atlantic LNG’s Train 4 has reclaimed that record. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
