Nikkiso CE&IG, a division of Japan’s Nikkiso, announced on Tuesday that it had been contracted by NPG, a joint venture to be formed by Shell and a unit of Focol to provide LNG regasification and cryogenic equipment for the New Providence gas project in Nassau, the Bahamas.
According to the company, the project involves an LNG receiving terminal in support of additional power generation at Clifton Pier.
It aims to deliver “lower-carbon” infrastructure by using LNG to feed new and retrofitted gas turbines, which previously used diesel.
Nikkiso CE&IG will manufacture and deliver the LNG packaged regasification system.
Moreover, the system includes high-pressure submerged centrifugal pumps installed in a modular pump skid, and a gas-fired water bath vaporizer and associated power distribution and control systems.
It also includes an insulated pipeline featuring Nikkiso CE&IG’s vacuum jacketed system, and site-critical ancillary equipment.
The group will also provide engineering services in support of the project.
Nikkiso CE&IG added that the packaged regasification system, with a capacity of 55 million standard cubic feet per day, features a modular, standardized design which will reduce system integration time and cost.
The firm did not provide the contract price.
According to statements issued earlier this year, the government of the Bahamas signed a terminal development and use agreement with New Providence Gas (NPG) in May this year.
The government also signed an LNG supply agreement with Shell.
