ERLANGEN, Germany (Sept. 16, 2014) – Siemens Energy has received an order from Chengdu Cryogenic Liquidation Equipment Co. Ltd. to provide two compressor trains for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Etuoke Qian Qi of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with an annual capacity of 400,000 tons of LNG. This marks the fifth order for Siemens from Chengdu Cryogenic. The project is planned to be put into operation in December 2015. The signing ceremony was held at the Siemens LNG Compressor Technology Forum 2014 in Huludao, Liaoning Province, Sept. 16.
It is a follow-up cooperation with Chengdu Cryogenic Liquidation Equipment after the LNG project in August this year in Cangzhou, Hebei Province. The Cangzhou project has been the largest single-unit LNG production project by coke oven gas, for which Siemens supplied large-scale electric drive LNG compressor trains.
LNG production by coke oven gas represents a future trend for investment as it contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions.
“We are delighted that Siemens cooperated with Chengdu Cryogenic Liquidation Equipment once again,” said Lennart Nilsson, CEO of the Compression Business Unit within Siemens' Energy Sector. “With this order, we are helping our customers achieve their economic and ecological goals. At the same time, we are strengthening our leading position on the Chinese market, which is important to us.”
Siemens Energy supplies a wide range of products, solutions and services in the field of energy technology.
