Plaquemines LNG 20 MTPA Export Facility

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A 632-acre plot with 1.3 miles of deep-water frontage
Up to thirty-six 0.626 MTPA liquefaction trains, configured in eighteen blocks
Up to six pre-treatment trains
Up to three ship loading berths for LNG vessels carrying a capacity of up to 185,000 cubic meters
Four 200,000 cubic meter full containment LNG storage tanks
Two 720 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plants, including additional 25 MW gas-fired aeroderivative turbines
A utility dock on the Mississippi River to handle waterborne deliveries of equipment and material during both construction and project operations.
Two 42-inch diameter pipelines, 15 and 12 miles long respectively, that connect to existing interstate natural gas pipelines.

Basis of Design for Each 10 MTPA of Liquefaction Capacity

The projects are based on mid-scale liquefaction technology which will consist of two electrically-driven 0.626 MTPA trains in each block, with nine blocks for the entire facility
The gas will flow through three acid gas removal and dehydration systems before it enters the liquefiers. Each pre-treatment train has 50% capacity
The LNG will be stored in two 200,000 cubic meter full containment storage tanks. This ample storage capacity allows Venture Global to optimize the plant output

Combined-Cycle Gas-Turbine Power Plant

Per 10 MTPA, each 720 MW inside-the-fence CCGT power plant will use feed-gas, together with boil off gas, to produce the power required to drive the electric motors of the liquefiers. Our “5 on 2” gas and steam turbine configuration allows for significant flexibility for maintenance or down times, resulting in extremely high availability for production. There will also be one aeroderivate gas turbine per phase for load following, start-up and peaking needs.
