As per the agreement with engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor CCS JV, Air Products will provide two of its coil-wound main cryogenic heat exchangers (MCHE) for the onshore project.

These MCHEs will operate at the site as part of two separate LNG production trains designed to produce over 13 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG from the Golfinho / Atum natural gas fields in Mozambique.

CCS JV chairman Roberto Uberti said: “We have been tasked with building the first onshore LNG export facility in Mozambique and one of the most efficient facilities in the LNG space.

“We are carefully selecting reliable and experienced technology providers and under this perspective the benefits of Air Products involvement are clearly consistent.”

In May 2018, Air Products inaugurated a new industrial gas complex at the Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) Kochi Refinery in Kochi, India.
