Title: The Atlantic LNG Project, Point Fortin, Trinidad

Abstract: In the small Caribbean state of Trinidad and Tobago near the east coast of Venezuela, one of the most interesting and challenging LNG projects for many years is now complete. Interesting because it has taken a different approach to most recent LNG projects and challenging because many in the industry did not think that the project was possible just a few years ago. The first LNG ship was loaded in April 1999. (See Figure 1.) It is the first single train baseload LNG plant in 30 years and is the first & smallest grassroots export project in the Western Hemisphere in more that 25 years. The liquefaction process is an updated version of the original cascade process used in the first baseload LNG plants rather than the industry leader, the Propane Pre-cooled Mixed Refrigerant Process. The equipment is different too. Frame 5 gas turbines have been used, not Frame 7s as with most other new projects. Similarly, aluminum plate fin heat exchangers, almost abandoned by the baseload LNG industry, have been used for the main heat exchangers.
