Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corp. (MCO) and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) have collaborated with Exxon Mobil Corp. (ExxonMobil) to develop and explore new applications for their latest H-100 gas turbines as well as state-of-the-art compressor technologies to reduce liquefied natural gas (LNG) unit costs.
The H-100 gas turbine provides output in the medium range. Benefits of two-shaft gas turbines for LNG mechanical drive are reduced footprint, variable-speed operation, and full-pressure start-up.
“ExxonMobil is widely recognized as an industry leader in terms of both project execution and efficiency,” commented MHI president & CEO Shunichi Miyanaga.
The MCO-MHPS LNG main refrigeration package is a good example of how MHI’s oil & gas business is currently focused on unifying the Company’s product lineup to meet market needs.
