Aker Solutions to build MEG reclamation plant

Aker Solutions has won a contract by Technip to supply a Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) reclamation plant for the Ichthys LNG Project in Australia. The contract value is approximately NOK 485 million. As per the contract, the scope of work includes system engineering and supply of key equipment for the MEG plant and may include some further options. The equipment deliveries will be in 2013 and 2014. Management, engineering and procurement of the project will be carried out at Aker Solutions’ offices in Oslo, Norway, with support from the Aker Solutions office in Perth, Australia. MEG is used to prevent hydrate formation in subsea pipelines. It is injected at the wellhead and follows the gas and liquid flow to the gas processing facility. Aker Solutions’ MEG reclamation technology combines unique chemistry knowledge and process technologies in removing water, hydrocarbons and salts efficiently, enabling MEG to be recycled with a high recovery rate and great quality while also reducing scaling and corrosion in the reclamation and injection systems. The MEG reclamation plant will be located on the FPSO built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in South Korea. Technip has responsibility for topside engineering.
