US firm to supply LNG liquefaction trains in Indonesia for EWC

Cleveland-based firm Chart Industries, Inc. announced Monday that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc., has been awarded significant orders totaling in excess of US$100 million from Energy World Corporation Limited (EWC) to supply Cold Boxes, Brazed Aluminum Heat Exchangers, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and ancillary equipment for four 500,000 tons per year LNG Liquefaction Trains to be installed by EWC in Southeast Asia.

The trains are intended to provide LNG to meet the growing demand for LNG in Indonesia, the Philippines, China and Japan as the economies in these regions grow. The first two trains are scheduled to come on stream in the second quarter 2009, the company said.

EWC is known to plan for construction of 2x500,000 TPA LNG plant in Sengkang PSC in South Sulawesi, where it has 100 percent interest.(alex)
