Technip, as a leader in Natural Gas Liquefaction plants, and floating facilities with industrial Engineering, Procurement and Installation experience.

DSME, as one of the largest shipbuilders in the world with experience in construction of large FPSO and numerous LNG carriers.

Petronas FLNG Satu4

A unique combination of technologies

LNG loading armsMarine loading arms were designed to adapt to offshore conditions for smooth offloading of LNG from the facility to an LNG carrier moored alongside.

Cargo containment systemA two row arrangement of eight membrane type LNG storage tanks, (GTT No.96 type) and two condensate storage tanks are located below the deck. The tanks can store up to 177,000 m3 of LNG and 20,000 m3 of condensate with a total storage capacity equivalent to around 79 Olympic swimming pools.

Naval aspectsExtensive naval architecture studies supported by wind tunnel tests and wave basin tests, were performed to ensure the robustness and performance of the FLNG under various sea states and operating conditions.

Liquefaction Natural gas is liquefied using Air Products’ dual nitrogen cycle technology. Inherent safety is enhanced by avoiding hydrocarbon refrigerants.

Safety in design: new challenges

Explosion risk

During engineering, Technip performed numerous flammable gas dispersion and explosion simulations using within the facility topsides state-of-the-art CFD simulation tools. The results were used to derive design explosion loads for the design of safety critical elements.

Considering the novelty of the FLNG concept, safety has been the focus of many technical studies. Numerous safety features were implemented on the Petronas FLNG design to address all possible hazards and reduce the risk to humans and assets.

Noise and vibration

Extensive noise and vibration analyses were performed in order to implement adequate design measures to ensure that levels are within tolerance.

Petronas FLNG Satu 7

Key safety features

Four fire and blast walls to contain potential fire zones on main

deck and topsides process and utilities module

PFP (Passive Fire Protection)

CSP (Cryogenic Spill Protection)

Fire water system

Several primary escape routes run the full length of the vessel,

on each side, and one at the center

Three emergency depressurization/blowdown zones

The FLNG also includes several refuges

Fire and cryogenic risk

Fire and cryogenic risk analyses were developed during engineering to ensure adequate prevention and protection and to confirm the risks were reduced to ALARP.

Exhaust dispersion and helideck availability

CFD dispersion simulations were conducted to study the risk of helideck impairment by hot plumes and derive an estimation of availability. This study also confirmed the acceptability of pollutant concentration at living quarters air intakes.

FLNG is a game changer for the LNG industry

FLNG stands for Floating Liquefied Natural Gas. This novel concept has been extensively studied in the last decade and consists of a combination of several technologies that aim at liquefying natural gas at sea. FLNG solutions have the potential to place gas liquefaction facilities directly over offshore gas fields, and unlock new energy resources offshore.

Technip is a leader in FLNG having secured the two world’s first FLNG projects including Petronas FLNG Satu, thanks to its unique combination of know-how and technologies in subsea, offshore and onshore.

Petronas FLNG Satu will play a significant role in Petronas’ efforts to unlock gas reserves in Malaysia’s remote and stranded fields to help meet the growing demand for gas.
