Alfa Laval wins order to supply equipment for the world’s first FLNG facility

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – has won an order from a Technip Samsung Consortium (TSC) to supply
Alfa Laval equipment to Shell’s Prelude FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas)
facility. Alfa Laval is unable to disclose the exact value of the order due to a
confidentiality agreement.
FLNG opens up new business opportunities for countries looking to develop their
gas resources, bringing more natural gas to the market and Shell is the first to
go ahead with an FLNG project, Prelude FLNG.

The Alfa Laval equipment consists of desalination units, heat exchangers and
filters. The desalination units will convert sea water into fresh water to be
used for steam generation, process water and potable water. The heat exchangers
will use seawater in the vital cooling applications in the gas liquefaction
process.

“We are very proud to be part of this technology breakthrough in the energy
field”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “This
order confirms our strong position as a reliable partner to the major players in
the oil and gas industry.”

Did you know that… the Prelude facility being built by the TSC at the Samsung
Heavy Industries shipyard in Geoje, Korea will measure 488 meters from bow to
stern and weighing around 600,000 tones when fully loaded? It will be moored
over 200 kilometers from land in Western Australia and will produce gas from
offshore subsea fields, treat and liquefy it onboard via a cooling process
before storing and exporting the LNG via conventional LNG carriers.
