Linde recently has been awarded a contract from Chinese chemical and energy company Inner Mongolia Huineng Coal Chemical (IMHCC) to supply a mid-scale LNG plant near Beinichuan in Inner Mongolia.

This will be Linde’s seventh and largest LNG plant to date in China and is in response to growing demand from customers in China.

Linde's Engineering Division will be responsible for engineering, procurement and site services for the LNG plant with a nameplate capacity of 750,000 tons of liquefied natural gas per annum. The plant’s technology is based on Linde’s proprietary LIMUM process, a multi-stage mixed refrigerant process that provides best-in-class energy efficiency, and proprietary core cryogenic heat exchangers.
