Unitel Technologies Wins FEED for KOGAS Small Scale LNG Project

Unitel Technologies has been selected by Korea Gas Technology Corporation (KOGAS-Tech) to conduct the front end engineering and design (FEED) program to commercialize a small-scale LNG project.

Unitel’s primary mission is to implement process design improvements that will significantly reduce CAPEX and OPEX numbers over current industry standards, the company said in a statement published last week.

Korea Gas (KOGAS) is currently the world’s largest importer of LNG. According to Chul-Ho Lee, Director of the New Business Technology Division at KOGAS-Tech, “Our objective is to design, build and operate multiple 200 TPD LNG mini-plants that will create a virtual pipeline to supply this product for local transportation fuel and power generation applications.”

Unitel’s relationship with KOGAS is specially recognized in terms of their joint effort to demonstrate and commercialize the KOGAS single-step technology for converting natural gas into dimethyl ether (DME).
