Black & Veatch has selected Techouse to supply two heat-recovery steam-generation modules for Golar LNG’s fourth floating liquefaction unit, extending the project’s equipment procurement into a multinational fabrication programme.
Announced on 10 November, the award covers two modules weighing approximately 1,000 tonnes each, their supporting systems, and assistance with installation and commissioning. The contract value was not disclosed.
Techouse will manage engineering and procurement in Norway. Alpha ECC will fabricate the heat-recovery units in Vung Tau, Vietnam, before Himile Heavy Industries assembles the complete modules in China.
Work starts immediately, with module delivery planned by the end of 2028. The wider FLNG conversion, using the LNG carrier Grace Dahlia, is scheduled for redelivery in 2029.
The system recovers turbine-exhaust heat for steam production. Techouse forecasts fuel consumption 20–25% below conventional gas-turbine-only arrangements; that is a supplier estimate, not a measured result from the future vessel.
