Waste heat recovery units for Pluto LNG project

Foster Wheeler Energy has been awarded an engineering and materials supply contract by Woodside for two gas turbine exhaust waste heat recovery units at its Pluto liquefied natural gas (LNG) project

The two identical units will recover energy from gas turbines used for power generation, to provide hot water for use elsewhere in the facility.

This latest contract follows an award from Woodside, for a larger waste heat recovery unit for the Pluto LNG Project in Western Australia.

Foster Wheeler has previously supplied similar units for the Phase IV and V expansions of the Woodside-operated North West Shelf LNG facility in Karratha, Western Australia.

The engineering, procurement and construction management of the Pluto LNG Project is being executed by a Foster Wheeler-led joint venture and includes a single liquefied natural gas production train with forecast production of 4.3 million tonnes of LNG per year, a fractionation unit, an acid gas recovery unit, gas purification units, tank storage facilities, a boil-off gas compressor, loading berths, gas turbine power generation units and utilities.

First gas is scheduled for production at the end of 2010.
