Chart Industries, Inc.’s wholly owned Czech subsidiary, Chart Ferox, and EPC consortium partner, PPS Pipeline Systems Germany, have been selected to provide an LNG reloading station for AB Klaipėdos nafta at the Port of Klaipeda, Lithuania.
The consortium will deliver a total project scope including equipment engineering, production, installation, and commissioning, together with construction of the associated infrastructure, for $30.6 million. The contract between AB Klaipėdos nafta and the consortium will enter into full force after approval of conclusion of the EPC contract by the general meeting of shareholders of AB Klaipėdos nafta. Chart’s proven LNG technology combines the highest quality and safety standards with total operational reliability, while PPS is a leader in construction and other civil related activities in the natural gas sector. Chart’s scope of supply is nearly 50 percent of total award value.
Five Chart cryogenic storage tanks, each measuring over 50 meters in length and with an external diameter of almost six meters, will provide 5,000 cubic meters of LNG storage at the station, which will be equipped with two loading areas for LNG trucks and jetty modules for ship bunkering. The Chart LNG regasification facility will have the capacity to provide 6000 Nm3/hour of natural gas. The LNG reloading station will be operational within 15 months with full scope delivery anticipated during the second half of 2017. The overall plant design will also incorporate a potential future expansion, capable of doubling the storage capacity.
“We are delighted with this prestigious award and excited to be working with our new partner, PPS Pipeline Systems. Both companies are experts in their respective fields with the experience and pedigree to deliver the project within an extremely aggressive timescale,” said Miroslav Cerny, Business Director of Chart Ferox.
