石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站6月7日消息 查特工业在美国东北部一个公用事业规模的液化天然气项目中，已为液化器、压缩机和储罐设备订购了1040万美元的订单。
小型液化天然气和公用事业规模的液化天然气市场为不同于中型和基本负荷出口终端运营商的客户群提供服务。这些小型液化厂的生产能力通常不到50万吨/年，并在特定地点提供特定用途，如海上加油、公路运输燃料和发电。
在美国东海岸等天然气管道受限地区，公用事业客户正转向液化天然气作为解决峰值容量市场需求方案的一种选择。查特工业表示，这是一种自然解决方案，适用于配电系统增长但无法增加增量容量的地区。

Chart nets $10.4 mln LNG equipment deal
Chart Industries has booked a $10.4 million order for the liquefier, compressor, and tank equipment content on a utility-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in the Northeast United States.
The small-scale LNG and utility-scale LNG markets serve a different customer set than mid-scale and base-load export terminal operators. These smaller liquefaction plants typically have a production capacity of less than 500,000 tons per year, and serve specific uses such as marine bunkering, fuel for over the road transport, and power generation in targeted locations.
Utility clients are moving toward LNG as an option for a peak capacity market demand solution in gas pipeline constrained areas such as the East Coast of the United States, Chart said adding that this is a natural solution for geographies that have distribution system growth while unable to add incremental capacity.
