Parker’s instrumentation, manifolds, valves and tube fittings have been selected for Segas’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the port of Damietta, Egypt. The ability to supply a comprehensive package was an important factor in the selection process for M W Kellogg, part of the project’s joint-venture engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) consortium of Halliburton KBR, JGC, and Tecnicas Reunidas. The instrumentation components will be used to build the measurement and control systems on the largest single-train LNG liquefaction plant in the world, which will have a capacity approaching 5 mtpa (million tons/annum) when it is completed in late 2004. Operated by Segas (Spanish Egyptian Gas) – a joint venture of Spain’s Union Fenosa and Italy’s Eni – the facility will be used to export gas to Spanish power generators. In order to be selected as the primary supplier for this project, Parker had to be capable of delivering an extended range of fluid instrumentation system components, including tubing and compression tube fittings, ball and check valves, monoflanges, a wide range of manifolds, and sun-shade accessories to protect the instrumentation against the harsh environmental conditions.
