Chart Industries to Supply Key Components for Louisiana LNG Terminal

Chart Industries, a leading clean energy and industrial gas solutions provider based in the U.S., has been chosen to supply essential equipment for a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Louisiana, United States.

Following an order received by Baker Hughes for gas technology equipment for two liquefaction plants with a combined capacity of approximately 11 million tons per annum (mtpa), Chart Industries has also secured an order from Bechtel to supply its integrated pre-cooled single mixed refrigerant (IPSMR) liquefaction technology and cold boxes for Phase 1 of Woodside Energy‘s Louisiana LNG project.

Chart will be supplying 16 cold boxes for the two LNG plants, with each plant consisting of Heavies Removal Cold Boxes and LNG Liquefaction Cold Boxes. The IPSMR process, known for its energy efficiency and reliability, will be a crucial component in the liquefaction technology for the project, supporting Woodside Energy’s efforts to provide cleaner energy solutions.

Jill Evanko, CEO and President of Chart Industries, expressed her pride in partnering with Bechtel and Woodside on this significant LNG project. She emphasized the role of their technology in ensuring efficient and sustainable LNG production to meet global energy demands.

The Louisiana LNG project, owned by Australia’s Woodside following the Tellurian acquisition and managed by Bechtel Energy as the EPC contractor, is located in Louisiana. With valid non-free trade agreement (FTA) export authorization and an extension of its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval, the project is progressing steadily.

With an estimated development cost of $900-960/ton for both phases, the project’s current plan includes five LNG trains across four stages, encompassing Phase 1 with 11 mtpa capacity and Phase 2 with 5.5 mtpa capacity.
