Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) has entered into an agreement with Technip Energies to supply integrated liquefied natural gas (LNG) pretreatment and liquefaction technologies for Commonwealth LNG’s proposed export terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Technip Energies is serving as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the project.
The facility will use Honeywell’s single mixed refrigerant liquefaction process along with six modular coil wound heat exchangers (CWHEs). The design is expected to support LNG production of approximately 9.5 million tonnes per annum. The modular approach is intended to shorten construction timelines, simplify project execution, and reduce on-site construction risks while improving overall plant efficiency.
Honeywell’s CWHEs are designed to process large volumes of natural gas within a compact footprint, supporting operational reliability and safety. The project will also deploy Honeywell UOP SeparSIV® pretreatment technology to remove water and heavy hydrocarbons from the feed gas to meet LNG quality requirements. The system can accommodate variable feed compositions and is designed to reduce lifecycle costs compared with conventional pretreatment methods.
John Palamara, Vice President and General Manager of Honeywell’s LNG business, said the company’s modular delivery approach can help LNG developers accelerate project schedules and improve investment returns. David Lawler, Chief Executive Officer of Caturus, the platform behind Commonwealth LNG, said the agreement represents an important step in advancing the project alongside ongoing financing efforts and aligns with Caturus’ strategy to build an integrated natural gas business.
Honeywell provides LNG process technologies and automation solutions across pretreatment, liquefaction, and digital operations. The company’s technologies are used in a significant share of global LNG capacity, with modular solutions that can be fabricated off-site and transported for installation, helping projects reach commercial operations faster.
