Techouse has signed a contract to supply Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) modules for Golar LNG's fourth Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) unit. This unit, due to its advanced technology, is capable of reducing fuel consumption by 20 to 25 percent compared to traditional gas turbine systems.
Contract Details and Modules
Techouse will supply two HRSG modules, each weighing approximately 1000 tons, along with the necessary support systems for the installation of these modules as a subcontractor to Black & Veatch. Black & Veatch is responsible for the upstream construction of this FLNG unit. The HRSG units collect the exhaust heat from the gas turbines that drive the liquefaction compressors and use it to produce superheated steam. This steam drives steam turbines that generate electricity for the unit and provide heat for the LNG process.

Planning and International Collaborations
Techouse will be responsible for engineering and equipment supply from Norway. The company's partner, Alpha ECC, will manufacture the HRSG modules in Vung Tau, Vietnam, and Himile Heavy Industries will assemble them into complete modules in China. Delivery of the modules is scheduled for the end of 2028, and Techouse will also support the installation and commissioning of these modules.
Sven Helge Pettersen, CEO of Techouse, described this contract as a significant and strategic agreement for Techouse, stating that they have repeatedly provided energy recovery technology in similar offshore projects. This is the first time the company is supplying a complete HRSG module, having previously provided HRSG technology for the Golar Gimi and FLNG Esperanza units.
In October, Golar agreed to purchase the LNG vessel Grace Dahlia from NYK Line to convert it into its fourth FLNG unit. The delivery time for this unit is scheduled for 2029.
