Engineering, procurement and construction contractor for South America's first LNG liquefaction facility, located in the remote Pampa Melchorita region. The facility has a production capacity of 4.5 million tons per year and utilizes a propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant process. It cools natural gas to -160°C (-260°F), reducing its volume by approximately 600 times for efficient storage and transport. Key systems include four refrigeration compressors, two gas turbines and a fully integrated support infrastructure.
