France’s GTT and Chinese state-run Beijing Enterprises Group (BEG) have signed a memorandum of understanding concerning the evaluation of membrane full containment technology for LNG onshore storage tanks, GTT said November 6.
“We are very delighted to initiate this collaboration with Beijing Enterprises Group for the use of the membrane technologies for LNG onshore storage tanks. This further reinforces our long-term partnership with China,” GTT CEO Philippe Berterottiere said.
The MoU could also include the construction of a number of storage tanks of a capacity exceeding 220,000 m3 for BGE’s proposed Tianjin Nangang LNG project, GTT said.
“We are very pleased to collaborate with GTT with the application of membrane technology for the first time in onshore LNG tanks in China,” said Li Yalan, chairperson of the board of Beijing Gas Group, a unit of BEG.
