What is APCI LNG?
(APCI), is composed of a multistage propane (C3) precooling system followed by liquefaction using an MR system of nitrogen, methane, ethane and propane. The heart of the APCI C3MR process, which features thermal efficiencies of more than 93%, is its proprietary spiral-wound heat exchanger (SWHE).
What is the Freeport LNG project?
Freeport LNG is founded to build the first U.S. LNG import and regasification terminal in over two decades. FERC application to build the LNG import terminal is filed. Dow executes HOA for a third of the regasification capacity under a terminal use agreement (TUA).
What is MTA LNG?
MTA. An abbreviation for million tons per annum (year).
What is base load LNG plant?
The plant is operated in base load mode and em- ploys intermediate storage of the LNG product in an insulated tank before it is loaded to road tankers or LNG carrier ships. After revaporization of the LNG the natural gas is finally distributed to a variety of industrial and private consum- ers.
What is single mixed refrigerant?
Single Mixed Refrigerant cycle The mixed refrigerant is compressed, partially condensed and expanded in several steps. The cooling duty generated by the expansions is transferred through Brazed Aluminium Heat Exchangers (BAHX) to the natural gas, allowing its liquefaction.
How many LNG export facilities are there in the US?
There are more than 160 LNG facilities operating in the U.S. performing a variety of services. Some facilities export natural gas from the U.S., some provide natural gas supply to the interstate pipeline system or local distribution companies, while others are used to store natural gas for periods of peak demand.
Where is Freeport LNG terminal?

Who owns Freeport LNG terminal?
Michael Smith
Michael Smith is the billionaire chairman and CEO of Freeport LNG, one of four liquefaction and export terminals under construction in the U.S. The oil and gas veteran got his start in the LNG business on the import side after selling his Basin Exploration Inc., a Colorado-based exploration and production.
Why choose Air Products for LNG?
No company has more experience in the supply of natural gas liquefaction processes and equipment than Air Products. Our unique ability to integrate the liquefaction process design and critical liquefaction equipment leads to an optimization of performance, costs, operability and reliability that has become the benchmark for the LNG industry.
Which LNG projects have reached FIDS so far?
The first (left hand) period includes 137 MT of liquefaction where the “pioneer” LNG projects (Abu Dhabi, Alaska, Algeria, Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Malaysia, Qatar and Trinidad) reached their FIDs.
How much will LNG cost in 2025?
Existing LNG projects are premised to have a gas supply cost of 1.15 X Henry Hub gas price, which for January 2025 is estimated to equal $3.52/mmBtu.
How competitive is the LNG supply?
Each LNG project is a unique value chain from reservoir to the buyer’s burner tip whose competitiveness is dynamically assessed over the life of the SPA. The outlook for competitive LNG supply provides confidence of a bright future for gas.
