The increasing worldwide demand for LNG is reflected in the number of both current expansions of existing facilities and proposed new LNG Export and Import facilities. Consistent with BP’s gas growth agenda, the Tangguh LNG Project is progressing to further Indonesia’s prominent and long established role in meeting this worldwide LNG demand. The Tangguh LNG Plant design is also moving forward by incorporating increased energy efficiency and optimized facility design concepts, while reducing Green House Gas emissions.rnThe Tangguh LNG project team approach establishes a project framework and philosophy that challenges energy efficiency, facility life cycle cost, and social and environmental issues to deliver best in class performance, all underpinned by delivering a safe, robust and reliable facility. Approximately 145 MW of waste heat is recovered in each LNG production train, and is utilized within the LNG Train and for electrical power generation. This deep combined cycle concept, coupled with additional energy efficiency and environmental design applications, have set new benchmark metrics for a grass roots LNG project, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.rnThe plant facilities have also been optimized from a cost standpoint, through the application of innovative dynamic relief analysis techniques, to reduce constraining design basis flare loads. Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling of hot air re-circulation has also yielded significant plot plan improvements.rnWhen viewed through the lenses of energy efficiency, life cycle cost and environmental impact, the incorporation of innovative energy efficient designs, advanced facility design concepts and environmentally friendly measures allows the Tangguh LNG project to raise the performance bar for future LNG Plant designs. It also provides a solid platform to support long-term, highly reliable operations, both for the initial project and for future brown-field expansions.
