MCO receives order for 9 compressors for Ichthys LNG project in Australia

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corporation (MCO) has received an order for nine compressors and seven motors to drive compressors for the Ichthys LNG Project.  The equipment on order, which gives MCO a key role in the first large-scale LNG development project led by a Japanese company, will be sequentially delivered beginning in August 2013.
 
The Ichthys LNG Project is a joint venture between INPEX and Total. Gas from the Ichthys Field, in the Browse Basin approximately 200 kilometres offshore of Western Australia, will undergo preliminary processing offshore to remove water and extract condensate. The gas will then be exported to onshore processing facilities in Darwin via an 889km subsea pipeline. The Ichthys LNG Project is expected to produce 8.4 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG per annum, along with approximately 100,000 barrels of condensate per day at peak.
 
The compressors to be supplied by MCO will support processes to produce LNG from natural gas and at the same time play a role in reusing the vaporized gas in LNG/LPG tanks as fuel gas.
