Honeywell Master Framework Alliance Agreement
Texas LNG has executed a Master Framework Alliance Agreement with Honeywell to provide gas pre-treatment and automation & control technology. Texas LNG will use Honeywell UOP’s Amine Guard™ FS process to reduce acid gas to very low levels and its proprietary adsorbents to remove water, mercury and sulfur from the natural gas, which is necessary for natural gas liquefaction and LNG transport.
Honeywell also will serve as the integrated main automation & controls contractor. In this role, Honeywell is responsible for designing and delivering (with installation support), the automation, instrumentation, process and safety controls, telecommunications and security, production management systems, and advanced planning and scheduling applications. Honeywell also is assisting Texas LNG with its front end engineering and design (“FEED”) which is a key input in Texas LNG’s FERC application.
Honeywell joins the growing Texas LNG team which includes leading financial, technical, environmental and legal partners including BNP Paribas, Third Point LLC, Samsung Engineering, Air Products, Braemar Engineering, NRG, PSI, K&L Gates, GreenbergTraurig, Royston Rayzor, and others.
