GTT nets order for Chinese LNG tank

France’s GTT said it has won a contract for one onshore tank as part of the Hejian LNG peak shaving plant in the northern Chinese province of Hebei.

The LNG containment specialist secured the deal from the plant’s EPC contractor CPECCNC, a unit of China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corp.

The engineering company is a part of the Chinese state-owned energy giant CNPC.

It is building a 29,000-cbm liquefied natural gas tank for peak shaving purposes in the city of Hejian.

Under the deal, GTT said it would design the membrane inner tank, which will feature its GST technology.

GTT did not reveal the value of the deal.

The LNG tank is expected to be commissioned during the second half of 2021, it said.
