Air Products supplies two MCHE replacements for Bintulu LNG facility

Air Products announced its commitment to provide its advanced main cryogenic heat exchanger technology for the PETRONAS LNG Complex located in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The replacements are part of an extension program being implemented to extend the life and continue the superior performance and high reliability of the MLNG Dua LNG facility in Bintulu. This will be the second and third MCHE replacements provided by Air Products at this facility, after the original units completed almost three decades of reliable service. The first MCHE replacement was installed in June 2022 in-house by PETRONAS and successfully started up in the fall of 2022 and operating reliably ever since. Air Products’ contract supply to PETRONAS will consist of MCHE engineering and design, two units of two-bundle MCHEs, continued use of company’s proprietary AP-C3MRTM LNG process technology with associated process licenses, and technical advisory services. All engineering and design will be done in Air Products’ global corporate headquarters office in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and the MCHEs manufacture will be executed at Air Products’ manufacturing facility located on the west coast of Florida, less than a mile from the deep-water port at Port Manatee.
