Air Products to Provide Heat Exchangers for Qatar North Field East LNG Project

Air Products announced today that it has been awarded the contract to supply four end flash coil wound heat exchangers (CWHE) for the North Field East LNG Project in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar.

One of the end flash CWHE’s will be used with each of the four AP-X® LNG Process trains previously announced and already being built by Air Products for Chiyoda Corporation and Technip Energies, who are constructing the LNG process trains for QatarEnergy.

The joint venture between Chiyoda Corporation and Technip Energies was awarded the major EPCC contract (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning) in February 2021 by QatarEnergy for the onshore facilities of the North Field East Project. The EPCC contract covers the delivery of four mega LNG trains, each with a capacity to produce eight million tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG, and associated utility and offsite facilities. The start-up of the first North Field East AP-X® LNG train is planned for the end of 2025.

Air Products’ end flash CWHE technology was developed based on proven plant operating experience and technological innovation. It provides the safest, most robust and reliable heat exchanger for deployment in this demanding thermal cycling service, compared to alternative heat exchanger designs. The unique
