(WO) – Black & Veatch has awarded Techouse a contract to supply heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) modules for Golar LNG’s fourth FLNG unit. Techouse said the system will cut fuel use by 20% to 25% compared with conventional gas turbine-only power systems.

Techouse will deliver two HRSG modules, each weighing about 1,000 t, along with the supporting systems needed to run them, as a subcontractor to Black & Veatch, which is responsible for the FLNG topsides. The HRSG units capture exhaust heat from the gas turbines that drive the liquefaction compressors and use it to make superheated steam. The steam drives steam turbines that generate the unit’s electrical power and supplies heat to the LNG process.
Techouse will handle engineering and procurement from Norway. Partner Alpha ECC will fabricate the HRSG units in Vung Tau, Vietnam, and Himile Heavy Industries will assemble them into complete modules in China. Delivery is planned by the end of 2028, and Techouse will also support installation and commissioning.
“This is a large and strategically important contract for Techouse, for an energy recovery technology that we have delivered multiple times to similar offshore projects,” said Svein Helge Pettersen, CEO of Techouse. The company previously supplied HRSG technology to Golar’s FLNG Gimi and FLNG Esperanza. This is the first time it will supply a complete HRSG module.
In October, Golar agreed to acquire the LNG carrier Grace Dahlia from NYK Line for conversion into its fourth FLNG unit, with redelivery scheduled for 2029.
