Chart Bags LNG Contract in Australia

Chart Industries, a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment used in the production, storage and end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases, said today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chart Energy & Chemicals has been awarded a contract to provide Brazed Aluminum Heat Exchangers, Cold Boxes and Core-in-Kettle® units for a baseload LNG project in Eastern Australia.

Chart E&C facilities in La Crosse, Wisconsin and The Woodlands, Texas will be involved in equipment design and manufacture, with the cold box fabrication and assembly taking place at Chart’s Gulf Coast facility in New Iberia, Louisiana.

This contract of approximately $40 million takes Chart E&C’s total contract award value for the project above $85 million.

“We are very pleased to receive the award for this world-scale LNG plant and the continuation of our work with our EPC and energy company partners,” stated Mike Durkin, President of Chart E&C.
