The upcoming liquefaction unit will be the biggest in the world to utilise a single electric motor-driven mixed refrigerant compressor, the company claimed.

This compressor will facilitate the production of low-carbon LNG, which will be supplied to the Chinese market for both residential and industrial applications.

Air Products chief operating officer Samir Serhan said: “Air Products is honoured to be selected for this project and again work with Technip Energies to provide our unrivalled liquefaction process technology and equipment to the dynamic Chinese mid-scale LNG market.

“This project demonstrates how we are helping customers to optimise their facility’s overall performance with safe, sustainable solutions to achieve both production and environmental goals.”
