SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas has signed an LNG contract with Dunkerque LNG, a subsidiary company of EDF, for the development of a regasification plant in the city of Dunkerque, in northern France. SENER has been awarded this EPC contract as part of the TS LNG consortium made up of SENER and Techint.
The Dunkerque Liquified-Natural-Gas regasification plant will have three 190,000 m3 storage tanks and will be able to produce 13 bcm/year of natural gas. It will be equipped with a jetty, unloading arms and pipes, storage tanks, systems for regasification and gas emission, a BOG (boil-off gas) recovery system, a flare stack, a seawater pump system for vaporization, auxiliary systems, and a series of buildings (offices, control buildings, safety facilities, shops, etc.) specifically designed for the operations. Construction will take place over a period of four years, with the plant being operational in 2015.
