Recent LNG export developments in British Columbia and other Canadian provinces sought solutions meeting the high standards of the LNG industry, but with advantages in schedule, cost and local work content.
Seminar Examines Membrane Full Integrity Systems
GTT organized its first Seminar on GST membrane full integrity systems in its head office in Saint-Rémy-Lès-Chevreuse, France. During three days, from April 14-16, 2014, more than 40 delegates from EPCs, oil and gas majors, classification societies and engineering companies have attended presentations and site visits, to receive and update on the membrane full integrity technology dedicated to onshore storage. In the first two days, the presentations gave an insight of the latest design…
