| Project Detail |
The Nong Fab terminal is expected to receive LNG from container ships via a dedicated marine jetty.
Its marine jetty will feature berthing facilities capable of receiving LNG from LNG tankers with capacities ranging between 125,000m³ and 266,000m³.
The LNG will be stored in two 250,000m³ LNG storage tanks featuring in-tank LNG pumps.
It will then be re-gasified into natural gas and transported via a pipeline to the existing gas transmission pipeline network in Thailand
Infrastructure at Nong Fab terminal
The terminal will feature a regasification plant, vapour return system, boil-off gas handling (BOG) system, loading / unloading facilities, and electrical and control systems.
Other facilities will include seawater intake / outfall systems, an in-plant power generation facility and an LNG cold energy utilisation system.
A tie-in provision for potential future expansion will also be part of the terminal.
Contractors involved
A joint venture (JV) between the CTCI Corporation and Saipem was awarded a $925m engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract for the terminal.
Tokyo Gas subsidiary Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions Corporation (TGESC) was contracted to provide project management consultancy services, including site selection, technical research, front-end engineering design (FEED) studies and EPC contractor selection procedures.
SMC Consulting Engineers was subcontracted by TGESC to undertake the FEED studies for the development.
The scope of the contract included the design of the terminal’s marine components.
Staray International was contracted to provide FEED services for the LNG storage tanks and auxiliary facilities.
The scope of study involved mechanical design and equipment selection, 3D piping design, civil and structural design, control and safety design systems, the development of the fire and security systems, and evaluation of the LNG terminal project. |
