Black & Veatch’s Gas, Oil & Chemicals (GOC) Division has been active in Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) projects since the early 1950s and was involved in one of the earliest base load facilities at CAMEL in Algeria. Since that time, we have been involved in the design and construction of numerous base load, peak shaver and LNG terminal and storage facilities. Black & Veatch has developed a proprietary mixed refrigerant process, PRICO®, which has been successfully used in both base load and peak shaving applications.

PRICO® is a natural gas liquefaction process that uses a single mixed refrigerant loop and a single refrigeration compression system. PRICO® greatly simplifies the piping, controls and equipment for the liquefaction unit that translates into capital cost savings of up to 30 percent.

Black & Veatch’s project experience covers liquefaction units ranging from 4 million standard cubic feet per day (MMcfd) to over 800 MMscfd in both domestic and foreign locations. Our LNG terminal projects’ throughputs have ranged from 200 MMscfd to 2,000 MMscfd, both onshore and offshore. Black & Veatch’s experience in LNG terminals dates back to the first terminal in Korea. We have recently been the engineer on the newest onshore LNG terminal in the United States and the newest offshore terminal.
