Design and Installation of IA New Chiller Plant for NLNG
Project Overview:
TISL was commissioned to design and install a new chiller plant for Nigeria LNG (NLNG), a major energy company in the country. The project involved the installation of a state-of-the-art chiller plant and its associated accessories, including pumps, valves, buffer tanks, air and dirt eliminators, and the fabrication/installation of carbon steel pipes. The project was completed in 2023, and the system is currently awaiting power for commissioning. This project underscores TISL’s expertise in delivering complex mechanical and electrical installations for large industrial clients.
Strategy and Approach:
The strategy for this project focused on delivering a highly efficient and reliable chiller plant that would meet the cooling demands of NLNG’s facilities. TISL’s approach was to leverage advanced technologies and best practices in chiller plant design and installation, ensuring that the system was capable of providing consistent and efficient cooling while minimizing energy consumption.
Design and Implementation:
TISL’s design for the chiller plant included a comprehensive layout that ensured optimal performance and integration with NLNG’s existing infrastructure. The installation phase involved the careful placement and connection of all components, including pumps, valves, buffer tanks, and air and dirt eliminators. The project also required the fabrication and installation of carbon steel pipes, which were expertly welded and fitted to ensure durability and leak-proof performance. Additionally, TISL carried out the tie-in of the new plant to the existing pipe network, ensuring a seamless connection that would facilitate efficient cooling once the system is commissioned.
Client Collaboration:
TISL maintained close communication with NLNG and its engineering team throughout the project. This collaboration was essential in ensuring that the design and installation met NLNG’s specific requirements and that the project was completed on time and within budget. Regular progress updates and site visits were conducted to ensure that all aspects of the project were executed to the highest standards. The successful completion of the installation phase, with the system now awaiting commissioning, reflects the strong partnership between TISL and NLNG.
Environmental Impact:
The new chiller plant was designed with energy efficiency in mind, reducing the overall environmental impact of NLNG’s operations. TISL incorporated technologies that optimize the plant’s energy usage, resulting in lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint. The system’s design also includes features that minimize refrigerant leakage, further contributing to its environmental sustainability.
