The joint venture building the 15.6-million tonne/year (tpy) Golden Pass LNG liquefaction plant awarded Siemens Gas and Power the contract to supply three cryogenic boil-off gas (BOG) compressor trains. CCZ JV, a joint venture between Chiyoda International Corp., McDermott International, and Zachry Group, is engineering, procurement, and construction contractor of the plant in Sabine Pass, Tex., at the site of Golden Pass’ existing import terminal. The plant will use three 5.2-million tpy trains.
Siemens’ scope of supply covers engineering, manufacturing, and testing of the three, single-shaft centrifugal BOG compression packages, along with installation and commissioning. Each of the compressor packages will be driven by a 6.8-Mw electric motor. Manufacturing, testing, and packaging will take place in Duisburg, Germany.
In addition to the BOG compressor trains, Siemens will provide steam turbine generator sets for the Golden Pass LNG plant.
Golden Pass is a joint venture between affiliates of Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil.
