FCC Industrial
participated
in building the first liquefied natural gas (LNG)
plant in Finland
FCC Industrial has participated in the cons-
truction of Finland’s first liquefied natural gas
terminal. The subsidiary company of the Ci-
tizen Services Group built the storage tank
for the plant in Pori, on the west coast of the
Nordic country.
FCC Industrial participated in building the
plant, which was officially opened on 12 Sep-
tember, after it won the contract to design,
construct and start-up the 30,000-cubic
meter storage tank, measuring 35 metres in
height and 42 in diameter. The contract also
entailed carrying out all the other auxiliary
services required to operate it. The contract
was worth a total of 30 million euros.
The LNG terminal includes loading docks,
two process units (compressor and vapori-
sers), three loading docks for trucks, a heat
production unit and other ancillary facilities
and constructions. The terminal is connec-
ted to a 12-km gas pipeline that runs to
the liquefied natural gas network. The new
terminal and the LNG tank were built in the
envisaged 24-month timeframe.
With this new reference point, the division of
FCC strengthens its international presence
in terms of industrial projects and exports
the 30-plus years of experience it has in
constructing and starting up hydrocarbon
(oil and gas) storage and transportation faci-
lities in Spain for the leading energy compa-
nies, such as Enagás, Gas Natural Fenosa,
CLH and Repsol, etc.
FCC Industrial has constructed seven LNG
storage tanks with a capacity of 150,000
cubic metres. Of these, four were built in the
regasification plant in the Port of Barcelona,
two in the facilities of the Port of Musel in
Gijón (Asturias) and one with seismic pro-
tection in Cartagena. These form part of the
interesting design, construction and start-up
portfolio of industrial works.
The new LNG
terminal and tank were
built within the 24
months contemplated in
the contract
The storage tank has a
capacity of 30,000 cubic
metres, equivalent to the
size of an eight-story
apartment block
