Linde has been awarded a contract from the Chinese chemical and energy company Inner Mongolia Huineng Coal Chemical Co Ltd. to supply a mid-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant near Beinichuan in Inner Mongolia. With a nameplate capacity of 750,000 tons of liquefied natural gas per annum, this will be Linde’s seventh and largest LNG plant to date in China.

Linde’s Engineering Division will be responsible for engineering, procurement, and site services for the LNG plant. The plant’s technology is based on Linde’s proprietary LIMUM^(R) (Linde Multi-Stage Mixed Refrigerant) process. It provides best-in-class energy efficiency according to Linde. In addition, the plant’s technology is based on proprietary core cryogenic heat exchangers.
