Nigeria LNG (NLNG) has selected Siemens Energy to provide a cryogenic boil-off gas (BOG) compression train for its Bonny Island liquefaction plant in Finima, Nigeria. Siemens pointed out the order will help NLNG to add BOG handling capability as well as spares for the existing system. The firm stated that a high-efficiency electric motor will drive the new BOG compression train, which includes two of its centrifugal compressors.
NLNG’s selection of our cryogenic BOG compression technology is a testament not only to the reliability and performance of our existing equipment at the plant but also to our focused service and ability to meet local content requirements through in-country presence. The compression train will be manufactured, tested and packaged in Duisburg, Germany and will be NLNG’s seventh such facility. It anticipates a free on board delivery of the train in the fourth quarter of 2021.
