Omaha-based HDR on Wednesday informed it has been named the owner’s engineer by Kinder Morgan for its Elba Island liquefaction project near Savannah, Georgia.
Kinder Morgan units Elba Liquefaction Company (ELC), Southern LNG Company (SLNG), and Elba Express Company (EEC) are planning to add natural gas liquefaction and exporting capabilities to the terminal.
Currently, the project is in the engineering, procurement and construction phase, HDR said in its statement.
The Elba liquefaction project will include installation of 10 liquefaction units for an output capacity of approximately 2.5 million tons per year of LNG, and modifications to the existing Elba terminal to allow for export.
The project will use Shell’s small-scale liquefaction units, which will be integrated into the existing Elba terminal and enable rapid construction compared to traditional large-scale plants, according to HDR.
Earlier in April, Kinder Morgan units Elba Liquefaction Company and Southern LNG Company awarded the engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and startup contract to IHI E&C.
