Project Summary
Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) is a major producer of natural
gas for the Australian domestic market and for export as LNG via a
two-train LNG liquefaction plant on Curtis Island near Gladstone in
Queensland.
A major global player in the oil and gas industry, Bechtel Oil and
Gas selected Synertec as their supplier for the packaged analyser
systems for the QCLNG facility.
The Challenge
Bechtel Oil and Gas required fully automated, online analyser systems to provide critical in-process measurement and control, quality control, and quality billing functionality.
The analyser package was installed at the liquefaction plant at
QCLNG, supporting a production capacity of 8.5 million tonnes of
LNG per year.
Synertec Scope
The project scope involved the design, construction, factory acceptance testing, and site commissioning of eight analyser houses and five analyser racks.
The process design included 45 analysers, with the majority being ABB Process Gas Chromatographs and Spectra Sensors Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) carbon dioxide and moisture analysers. Synertec also designed and supplied Bechtel with:
- Sample probes, including Opta-Periph vaporiser probes
- Sampling control systems
- Breezeway construction for natural ventilation designed for
installation in a Zone 2 Hazardous Area - Ongoing support for parts and maintenance
