When completed the Train 6 gas plant will be able to produce around 7.8 million metric tonnes of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) per annum.
Once installed, the 45.78 metre long, 290 tonne heat exchanger will be used to cool natural gas down to a temperature of -160 degrees Celsius, transforming it to a liquefied state and making it suitable for transport in LNG tankers.
The heat exchanger was delivered by sea to Ras Laffan Port before being loaded onto a special heavy duty transport vehicle for the final stage of its journey.
The Joint Asset Development Team Onshore Project Manager, Mr. Jim Gardiner, said; 'The heat exchanger is the heart of the plant - it is where the gas becomes liquefied. The delivery was achieved safely and on schedule, and this achievement represents excellent teamwork from everyone involved.'
Qatargas Trains 6 and 7 are being developed by a Joint Asset Development Team on behalf of Qatargas 3 and Qatargas 4.
The shareholders in Qatargas 3 are Qatar Petroleum, Mitsui and ConocoPhillips and the shareholders in Qatargas 4 are Qatar Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell plc.
