Infrastructure Development for NGL Processing Facility

Scheduled for completion in Q4 2023

Scope includes:
  • Site preparation (civil).
  • Installation of a large-scale facility fire protection system designed to supply 11,000 gpm of fire water supplied from a six (6) million-gallon on-site reservoir.
  • Utilities:  Electrical, water, internet, and combustible gas detection systems.
  • Installation of overhead pipe racks and bridges to support bulk storage and processing areas.
  • Pilings and concrete foundations for processing equipment in the process areas.
  • Bulk storage for raw materials and processed products.  Six (6) 90,000-gallon tanks for R290 (propane) refrigerant production and five (5) 40,000-gallon tanks for R601a (isopentane) refrigerant production and Y-grade NGL products.
  • Process facility buildings including motor control center (MCC), operator process control room, and plant laboratory.

 

NGL Processing

Commissioning of processing systems to begin Q1 2024 | Full-scale product online by Q2 2024
Scope includes:
  • Design and installation of all necessary NGL processing equipment to produce high-purity NGL refrigerants including R290, R601a, and other light hydrocarbon refrigerant products to serve our Gulf Coast LNG customer base.
  • This phase includes a large scale 2-tower high purity NGL fractionation system, process heater, molecular sieve processing towers, and mercury removal units (MRUs).
