Mustang Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of international energy services company John Wood Group PLC, and Wood Group, have been awarded U.S. patent 715 5917 for a proprietary process to convert liquefied natural gas (LNG) into natural gas, according to Oilonline. This technology, marketed as the LNG Smart Air Vaporization (SAV) process, uses a closed-loop intermediate fluid circulating through fin-fan heat exchangers to extract heat from ambient air to vaporize LNG from its cryogenic state at - 260°F back to pipeline temperatures for transporting and storage. When compared with the more traditional submerged combustion vaporization technique…

ExxonMobil has awarded four engineering design contracts for a possible second world-scale steam-cracking complex in Singapore. The complex is to be located at the company's existing refining and chemical site at Jurong Island. All the four contracts concern the design of different stages of the chemical refining process. One contract was given to Aker Kvaerner to design a polyethylene unit. Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding won a deal to design the steam-cracker's polypropylene and specialty elastomers units. Another contract was awarded to Foster Wheeler and WorleyParsons for the design of an aromatics extraction unit, an oxo alcohol plant expansion, and associated plant infrastructure. Mustang Engineering was awarded the contract to design the process control and instrumentation.
