Train 9 of the PETRONAS LNG Complex will use APCI Split MRTM liquefaction process technology which GE expects will add 3.6 million tons per annum (mtpa) of production capacity to the existing 25.7 mtpa.

As part of the $150m deal, GE is providing a fully integrated application for Train 9, including GE Oil & Gas turbocompression equipment and variable speed drive systems.

GE will also supply a low/medium-pressure mixed refrigerant package and a propane and high pressure-mixed refrigerant package, run by a Frame 7EA gas turbine with a 13Mw induction motor at 3,600 rpm and VSI technology variable speed drive systems.

GE vice president and GE Oil & Gas Turbomachinery business president Prady Iyyanki said, "The GE technology we are providing for the Train 9 project is well-proven and is used across a wide range of LNG projects, including such landmark projects in the Asia Pacific region as Gorgon and Ichthys."
