Punj Lloyd Group, an EPC company, has won a Rs 477-crores ($ 75 million) tankage order from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd of Japan for Ennore LNG project. The scope of work entails confirmatory geotechnical investigation, early earth works, construction of two 180,000 cubic meter capacity full containment LNG Tanks on elevated piled foundation for LNG import, storage and re-gasification terminal project of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) at Ennore port in Tamil Nadu. Once completed, the LNG imported to the Ennore terminal will be used by utility company power generation plants as an alternative fuel and as feedstock by fertiliser plants.
 
The project will be completed in 33 months. Earlier, Punj Lloyd had constructed the LPG import-export terminal at Ennore for its client, Indian Oil Petronas. Punj Lloyd was also involved in the construction of three of the four LNG terminals of the country - namely Dahej, Hazira and Dabhol.
 
Atul Jain, president and CEO, Pipeline and Tankage, Punj Lloyd said, “Our technical knowledge in the LNG domain, coupled with our experience in this sector, has won us the appreciation of our clients worldwide. Punj Lloyd is proud to be India’s first LNG tank constructor for both the Western and Eastern Coasts, having played a critical role in building India’s LNG infrastructure.”
 
LNG is stored at -160 degrees C in liquid form and when transported through pipeline it is re-gassified into natural gas.
