Argent LNG, a leader in innovative energy solutions, announced its strategic decision to select Chart Industries' (NYSE: GTLS ) mid-scale modular liquefaction solution for its upcoming 20 MTPA LNG facility in Port Fourchon, Louisiana (USA). This move represents a significant departure from conventional large-scale LNG facilities, challenging the industry's traditional operational paradigm.Chart Industries' cutting-edge IPSMR® (Integrated Pre-Cooled Single Mixed Refrigerant) process technology lies at the heart of this disruptive approach. IPSMR® sets a new standard for efficiency and performance in liquefaction, surpassing conventional technologies and enabling Argent LNG to tailor its liquefaction systems precisely to site-specific conditions. This capability optimizes the matching of gas turbine power with single cold box capacity, ensuring maximum operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This strategic collaboration between Argent LNG and Chart Industries marks a pivotal moment in the LNG industry's evolution, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and sustainability. Together, they aim to redefine industry standards, delivering unparalleled value and efficiency to stakeholders worldwide.

ABB has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with US company Argent LNG to collaborate on automation and electrical solutions for a liquefaction facility at Port Fourchon in Louisiana, approximately 150 kilometers south of New Orleans. Once operational, by 2030, it will enhance US liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capabilities, support global energy security and reinforce the role of LNG as a transition fuel. Under the scope of the MoU, the companies will explore ABB’s plans to deliver an integrated automation and electrical infrastructure, as well as digital solutions including cyber security and data collection, to support Argent LNG’s efforts to develop a low carbon facility. The companies will collaborate from an early stage to design the system architecture to maximize operational performance and efficiency, to enable Argent LNG to adhere to emissions regulations. The facility is expected to supply global LNG export markets including Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East. Argent LNG will employ modular liquefaction technology, which focuses on emission reduction and reliability. ABB will support this approach with its Ability™ System 800xA® integrated controls platform, prefabricated eHouse design and analyzer system solutions. Convenient access to established pipelines will also mean that transportation costs and logistical complexities are reduced to ensure efficient operations and delivery of natural gas feedstock to the facility. “We are proud to collaborate with Argent LNG on this project which aims to further boost the US’s position as a leading producer and exporter of LNG to support global energy security,” said Nathan Tungseth, Senior Vice President for LNG at ABB Energy Industries. “Our automation, electrical and digital solutions are designed to help industrial plants operate at maximum efficiency and use less energy, to support a lower carbon future.”

Hudson air cooled heat exchangers reduce plot space and deliver significant cost savings in LNG liquefaction plants.

Port Fourchon is a multi-use coastal port that functions primarily as a land base for multiple offshore energy support service companies. A port unlike any other, Port Fourchon is filled not with traditional cargo but with a multitude of individually leased and independently run specialized docks and service facilities. In addition, it is a commercial and recreational fishing mecca, an intermodal transportation hub, a unique area for recreation and ecotourism, a hot spot for research on coastal restoration and marsh creation methods, and a shining example of how industry and environment can coexist successfully. Port Fourchon sits at the mouth of Bayou Lafourche, where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico and is easily accessible from any area in the Gulf and Caribbean. Located at the end of Highway 1 in Louisiana, Port Fourchon is in the center of one of the richest and most progressive industrial areas in the Gulf region. Port Fourchon is constantly expanding to meet the needs of business and industry. Under the direction of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission, the port is fortunate to have knowledgeable leadership, available land, and irrefutable logistical advantage that enable it to be the nation’s premier port for the continued support of energy activities in the Gulf. With its wide range of services and extensive private and public investment, Port Fourchon can boast of its ability to offer functional and practical options to companies seeking new opportunities in everything from traditional and/or renewable energy to commercial fishing, seafood, shipping, tourism, or recreation.
