Akzo Nobel provides upgraded protection for Canada's iconic LNG project

, AkzoNobel and China Offshore Oil Engineering signed a cooperation agreement to provide Canada's iconic liquefied natural gas (
The core process modules of the two production lines of the first phase of the LNG) project provide customized protective coating solutions that meet the needs of the Canadian climate and environmental protectionThe project will provide environmentally friendly clean energy to major Asian gas consumers such as China and Japan, helping to address China's growing demand for liquefied natural gas's Canadian LNG project in the Kittimat region of northern British Columbia, Canada, is by far the country's largest LNG project, with four production lines planned and 28 million tons of LNG annually plannedIn addition, the project will build the large-scale liquefied natural gas facility with the lowest CO2 emissions in the world to dateWhen the project is completed, the output of liquefied natural gas will continue to be shipped into ChinaThe first phase of theproject is a 2 production line, contracted by China Offshore Oil Engineering Corporation for the construction of 35 core modulesConstruction began in China at the end of November 2019 and brushing works began this year, with the overall construction project expected to last about three years, after which the modules will be shipped to Canada for installationAkzoNobel will provide a two-component epoxy fire protection coating Chartek series for the first phase of the project, and will send a team of professionals to the Canadian project site to provide consulting services to ensure the smooth progress of construction"With the global LNG industry booming, the number of new projects has soared," said Sheng Minxian, director of ship and protective coatings attheof the AkzoNobel Greater ChinaWe are excited to participate in this large-scale global project to provide the best protection for tens of thousands of new energy users in Asia"
is colorless, tasteless, non-toxic and non-corrosive compared to coal and oil, which has obvious advantages in energy efficiency and is of great significance to environmental protection The Chinese government has implemented a series of measures to reform the oil and gas system, gradually cultivating natural gas as one of the main sources of energy in China's modern clean energy system China is expected to become the world's largest importer of LNG by 2024 as lng is widely used in power plants, factories, natural gas vehicles and home heating, prompting continued growth in Chinese consumer demand for LNG Globally, demand for liquefied natural gas is also rising , forecast that the of global LNG demand by 2040 will to to 700 million tonnes by 2040 AkzoNobel is well prepared to meet the growing market demand, and its international team of experts and industry-respected solutions have successfully contributed to the completion of several large LNG projects around the world through performance-oriented coating system design and technical support lng equipment long-term operation in low temperature environment, the equipment cooling, leakage prevention and other aspects of the ability to put forward a high demand In addition, the first phase of the Canadian LNG project will be built in China and will be assembled in Canada to challenge the low-temperature curing performance and environmental compatibility of coating products To address these challenges, AkzoNobel upgraded its international paint , The Chartek Coatings, to ensure that core modules are delivered to Low Temperatures in Canada, while maintaining their excellent corrosion and fire resistance, preventing brittle breaks in steel when low-temperature liquid swells, and providing the best protection for LIQUEFied natural gas equipment Axu Nobel's Marine and Protective Coatings Managing Director, Gao Jean-Michel Gauthier ) added: "With the industry's advanced protective coating technology, products and services, as well as our extensive global experience in liquefied natural gas, we are confident of continuing to provide efficient and sustainable coating solutions to the global coatings industry value chain "
AkzoNobel
's International Paint slotk range, derived from the Apollo moon landing program, is the market's leading epoxy fire protection coating In addition to being the preferred solution for fire protection coatings in the offshore oil and gas market, the Chartek range of coatingproduct products is also being used by a growing number of projects in the onshore refining, natural gas processing, petrochemical and chemical industries
