Under the contract, Air Products will provide two main cryogenic coil wound heat exchangers and the associated equipment and technology.

The heat exchangers are due to be on-stream in 2018.

The company will supply its AP-C3MR liquefaction technology and equipment, as well as MCR main cryogenic heat exchanger, as part of the contract.

Air Products LNG director Jim Solomon said: "We are pleased to be supporting this project and play a significant role in what will be one of the first LNG export terminals in the US.

"Air Products’ LNG heat exchanger technology is operating right now at many locations around the world, however, these will be among the first of our exchangers to operate right here in the US.

"We look forward to continued involvement in the US export market as other projects proceed to development."

Saperately, Air Products is also delivering the LNG technology and equipment for Dominion’s liquefaction project at its Cove Point LNG facility at Lusby, Maryland.
