Together with the first compressor train, which GE Energy also installed, Tangguh LNG will be able to generate around 7 million tons of LNG per annum.
In a statement the company said, “GE Energy’s oil and gas unit will supply the two main refrigerant turbo compressor strings for the second compressor train. The mixed refrigerant string will include one low-pressure axial compressor and one medium-pressure centrifugal compressor. The propane string will include one low-pressure and one high-pressure barrel centrifugal compressor [and] each string will be driven by a GE Frame 7EA gas turbine and a helper/starter steam turbine.”
“The scope of GE’s contract also includes engineering and procurement services, fabrication and packaging and spare parts. The turbo compressor strings will be manufactured at [our] facilities in Greenville, South Carolina and Florence and Massa Carrara, Italy, and are scheduled for shipment in 2005,” added the firm.
