Technip is one of the world's leading companies for the conceptual design, engineering and construction of gas industry facilities. Drawing on more than forty five years of experience, we can provide our clients with innovative and optimized solutions whatever the gas treatment requirements.

• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
• Gas-To-Liquids (GTL)
• Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) recovery
• Gas treatment

Technip was a pioneer in the liquefaction of natural gas (LNG), building the very first base-load LNG plant in Arzew, Algeria in the early 1960's, followed a few years later by the construction of the plant in Skikda, Algeria, in which a process using two mixed refrigerants was applied for the first time. Today, Technip is engineering liquefaction trains with a total capacity of more than one third of the world LNG trade through gigantic projects in Nigeria, Qatar and Yemen.

Capabilities :
Baseload plants
Peak shaving plants

Technology : Technip is a member of the APCI Club for liquefaction of natural gas. Having developed and previously licensed the TEALARC process for thirty years, Technip brings knowledge and conceptual design capabilities that are unique for an engineering and construction company involved in the field of LNG.

With the execution of the Freeport terminal (USA), Technip has positioned itself in the LNG terminal market.

Technip offers the complete range of services for LNG receiving terminals :

Conceptual design studies, including terminal siting studies
Design services for permitting activities
Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) services

Complete detailed engineering, procurement and construction capabilities to execute the LNG terminal on a lump sum turnkey basis.



Technip, in association with key partners, has developed a suite of solutions for offshore LNG. This programme also allows new and more cost effective marine terminal facilities.

With the completion of the engineering, procurement and construction in Qatar of the world's largest GTL complex, using SASOL’s "Slurry Phase Distillate" technology, Technip is a major player in the emerging market of GTL facilities (gas-to-liquids).

 
 

Having accumulated experience in NGL recovery from a wide variety of natural and associated gases, Technip offers innovative and efficient solutions based on its proprietary technology CRYOMAX®.

 This process allows the efficient cryogenic extraction of NGL (Natural Gas Liquids). Patents also cover special applications of CRYOMAX® in connection with the liquefaction of natural gas.

FVR (Flash Vapor Recycle) and MRE (Multiple Reflux Ethane) are recently patented processes for the extraction of C2+ NGL from natural gas.

Technip offers a wealth of knowledge of gas sweetening processes, in particular those based on the use of an amine solvent. Processes can be designed around generic solvents and proprietary solvents including UCARSOL (Dow Chemicals), GAS/SPEC (Ineos) among others. Technip has access to most licensed processes including HiLoadDEA, MDEAmax and energizedMDEA (Total/Prosermat), aMDEA (BASF), Amine Guard FS (UOP) and Sulfinol (SGS).

 

Technip ranks today among the top five technology suppliers and contractors in the field of small and medium capacity sulfur units installed in refineries thanks to the expertise developed by its affiliate (Technip KTI SpA). These units range from 5 to over 300 tons per day, with recovery rates of +97% (sulfur recovery only) and 99.9% for sulfur recovery combined with "reduction, absorption, recycle" (RAR™) tail gas treatment.

Technip is a member of the BP Club (modified Claus process and CBA). Furthermore, we are able to propose any suitable process as long as it is available commercially.

Technip is allied to AIR PRODUCTS and GOAR & ALLISON for the use of COPE technology (with oxygen enriched air).


Through licensing agreements made by its affiliate Technip KTI SpA, Technip also offers:

BP’s CBA™ (cold bed absorption) process, an extension of the Claus process. This is a subdewpoint cyclic process that can be proposed in different configurations, with efficiency rates of up to 99.5%.

UOP's BSR/SELETOX™ process. This process is based on the selective oxidation of H2S that can be applied as Claus tail gas treatment and for sulfur recovery from lean H2S feedstocks.
