Let’s give praise and encouragement to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment. Your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement**********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Continuous updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** On August 26, 2025, Huisheng Clean Energy Technology Group Co., Ltd. held a ceremony to mark the start of the NGUYA offshore floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project in Qidong, Jiangsu, as well as an event to celebrate reaching 30 million safe working hours. This milestone not only represents new advances in technological innovation and engineering management in the global FLNG sector but also highlights the outstanding capabilities of Chinese companies in the field of high-end energy equipment. It is understood that the “NGUYA FLNG” is the core production unit for the liquefied natural gas project of Italy’s ENI group in the Republic of the Congo. As China’s first new-type offshore floating natural gas liquefaction facility, built independently, with the largest tonnage and gas storage capacity, NGUYA FLNG is 376 meters long and 60 meters wide, with a LNG storage capacity of 180,000 cubic meters and an LPG storage capacity of 45,000 cubic meters ； With an annual LNG production capacity of 2.4 million tons, it can receive approximately 380 million cubic feet (about 10.76 million cubic meters) of natural gas per day from nearby gas fields when operating at full capacity, making it a true gem in the shipbuilding and offshore industry. FLNG is a floating liquefied natural gas processing platform that enables the direct liquefaction and storage of extracted natural gas in offshore areas far from land. It boasts advantages such as a short development cycle, low investment costs, high capacity utilization, and great flexibility. It is one of the most complex, expensive, and high-value products among marine engineering equipment. Currently, there are 5 FLNG units in operation worldwide, with an annual production capacity of over 12 million tons. With the rapid changes in the international supply and demand structure for natural gas in recent years, it will gradually become a trend for oil and gas companies around the world to use FLNG to develop offshore natural gas resources. As an important hub for China’s shipbuilding and offshore engineering industry, Nantong has led Taizhou and Yangzhou in establishing an advanced manufacturing cluster for high-tech ships and offshore engineering equipment; the scale of shipbuilding and offshore engineering equipment production in these areas accounts for 1/10 and 1/4 of the national total, respectively.
