Mozambique’s Coral South floating LNG (FLNG) facility reached a critical milestone on Monday, successfully passing a performance test achieving production above 3.4 million tons per year.
Dual mixed refrigerant LNG process technology and equipment developed by global industrial gases company Air Products passed the evaluation, enabling maximum efficiency, increased reliability and reduced environmental impact.
In addition to its proprietary equipment and technology, Air Products provided technical advisory services for the installation, commissioning, start-up and performance testing of the facility.
The Coral South FLNG facility produced its first cargo in November 2022. Mozambique is currently considering the development of a second FLNG plant offshore – Coral North – which could reach a final investment decision this year by operator Eni and its partners.
