Black & Veatch, Chemtex Win China LNG Contract

Black & Veatch and Chemtex have won contract to provide the technology package, basic engineering design package (BEDP), critical equipment supply and related services to Shanxi Qixian LNG project in China.

The Shanxi plant will be based on Black & Veatch’s patented PRICO technology.

“Proven cost and schedule advantages were critical for the developer, Shanxi Natural Gas Company, and the Black & Veatch-Chemtex team was also able to draw on experience from more than 22 LNG plants completed in China,” the company said.

The plant is expected to be completed in 2017.

“Coal and natural gas are the backbone of Shanxi’s economy. This project further unlocks the potential already within the province and helps deliver multiple benefits to its residents. As clean fuel alternatives continue to gain momentum, the expertise and technology that both Black & Veatch and Chemtex bring to the table helps China’s energy portfolio while supporting growth,” said Sean Ma, Chemtex China’s Chief Executive Officer.
