Longford Gas Plant opening

The Longford Gas Conditioning Plant was officially opened several weeks ago and we have intimately involved in its development.

The plant conditions gas from the offshore gas fields upstream of the three existing gas plants. CO2, H2S and mercury are removed from the gas stream to allow the three gas plants to maintain current operation.

The design of the plant was a joint project by our Monrovia and Melbourne offices. Monrovia executed the greenfield plant design while Melbourne worked on the brownfield tie-ins and plant infrastructure.

Monrovia worked the greenfield plant design through to the end of FEED and this was passed onto CB&I to perform detailed design, procurement and construction. The FEED design was so good that CB&I barely made any changes. This can be seen in the images below where we have reality compared to the FEED design model.

This was very much a team effort between the two offices.

The brownfield work was a complete success - finishing within budget, delivered on time with no suprises. The brownfield work included a complete refurbishment of the plant electrical HV distribution system – completed with no downtime and no plant shutdowns.
