Brunei LNG to Spearhead Major Replacement Project

To ensure the longevity of the production of Liquefied Natural Gas for the next 30 years, the Brunei LNG plant has taken an initiative by replacing the major component of the plant, the main Cryogenic Heat Exchanger, with a new design in line with the latest technology.  The replacement project is one of the 20 major activities to be carried out under BLNG’s Asset Reference Plan towards a much more sustainable future for the country.  Known as the heart of the plant, the first two components are expected to arrive in the country at the end of this month. 

The new heat exchanger is manufactured in Germany and its design is different from the current US-made heat exchanger. 

The Managing Director of Brunei LNG, Dato Paduka Haji Hamdillah said the replacement project is among others to strengthen the country’s long-term economy and integrity.  The 120-million dollar project will be conducted in phases, with the replacement of the first two heat exchangers to be carried out this year and another two next year.
