Praxair, Inc. has installed a unique nitrogen supply system for Chevron USA, Inc. and Total Gas and Power North America Inc. at the outlet of the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
The Praxair system allows for large volumes of liquid nitrogen to be delivered, pumped, vaporized and transported for injection into the Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline system that connects the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal with various other natural gas pipelines.
Supplies of LNG with energy content greater than the allowable maximum can be brought into specification by blending the LNG with nitrogen. Chevron and Total Gas and Power sought a cost-effective nitrogen-supply system that would enable them to process LNG shipments whenever required.
