Linde scores contract for China mid-scale LNG plant

German industrial gases giant Linde has won a contract from Chinese chemical and energy company Inner Mongolia Huineng Coal Chemical to supply a mid-scale LNG plant near Beinichuan in Inner Mongolia.

Linde said in a statement on Friday that this will be the company’s seventh and largest LNG plant to date in China and is in response to growing demand from customers in China.

Linde’s Engineering Division will be responsible for engineering, procurement and site services for the LNG plant with a nameplate capacity of 750,000 tons of liquefied natural gas per annum.

The plant’s technology is based on Linde’s LIMUM process, a multi-stage mixed refrigerant process and core cryogenic heat exchangers, it said.
