Black & Veatch/ Chemtex to develop LNG facility in China
C
hina Natural Gas Co Ltd (CNGC) has selected Black & Veatch and Chemtex to design and build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Guangyuan, China that will generate over 700 tonnes per day of LNG for a variety of fuel uses. This is the eighth LNG facility that Black & Veatch and Chemtex have developed in China since 2005. This plant will bring the total clean fuel capacity provided by Black & Veatch to over 5000 tonnes per day. The facility will provide natural gas supplies to China’s West to East gas pipeline during peak usage times or when demand for natural gas is at its highest. LNG from the facility also will be transferred by truck to areas where there is limited or no natural gas infrastructure.
