Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV) has selected Chart Industries’ Integrated Pre-Cooled Single Mixed Refrigerant (IPSMR) liquefaction technology and proprietary equipment for the Rovuma LNG Project at the Afungi peninsula. MRV is an incorporated joint venture owned by ExxonMobil, Eni, and CNPC, and holds a 70% interest in Area 4.
The remaining Area 4 participants are ENH (10%), KOGAS (10%) and Galp (10%). MRV is developing the Rovuma LNG Project in offshore Area 4 in northern Mozambique, with ExxonMobil leading the construction and operation of the onshore liquefaction and related facilities, while Eni leads the Coral floating LNG and upstream operations.
The Rovuma LNG Project will produce, liquefy, and market natural gas from reservoirs of the Area 4 block of the offshore Rovuma Basin and includes the construction of 12 modules of 1.5 MTPA each, with a total liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity of 18 MTPA, as well as associated onshore facilities.
“We are excited to partner with ExxonMobil for the utilization of our IPSMR technology and associated equipment for their Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique,” said Jill Evanko, CEO and President of Chart Industries. “We thank ExxonMobil’s engineering and project teams for their efforts in advancing the use of IPSMR in the international LNG industry.”
Chart’s IPSMR technology can be configured to match available gas turbine power with single cold box capacity to 3 MTPA. Each liquefaction train is paired with a heavy hydrocarbon removal system (HHC) to remove freezing components from the feed gas before liquefaction. The HHC comprises a scrub column, braised aluminum feed gas exchanger, and reflux drum in a fully assembled cold box module.
