AG&P, Air Liquide Global Sign LNG MoU

LNG infrastructure provider AG&P has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Air Liquide Global E&C, the engineering and construction arm of the Air Liquide Group, to develop small-scale LNG infrastructure for LNG distribution across Asia.

The parties together plan to offer solutions for LNG distribution with a focus on liquefaction, transportation and downstream infrastructure to deliver LNG to end users seeking LNG for power, shipping, ground transport and other industrial applications, AG&P said March 7.

AG&P’s chairman, Jose Leviste, said the agreement will enable the integration of downstream LNG infrastructure, including small scale regasification terminals, distribution hubs, truck loading stations and boil-off gas handling systems into AG&P’s LNG supply network for rapid delivery of tolled gas to last-mile customers. “Our aim is to streamline Air Liquide's know-how in gas processing technology and patents with AG&P's experience in design, engineering and construction,” he said.

As part of this MoU, AG&P and Air Liquide will begin developing downstream LNG modules, AG&P said adding that the MoU also covers boil-off gas (BOG) management systems.
