Honeywell helps to power Mozambique's natural gas future with advanced LNG technology

Honeywell is set to deliver technology for purifying natural gas prior to its liquefaction in a significant step for Mozambique's energy sector.

The Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV) is set to address the rising global demand for natural gas and improve energy accessibility for millions in the area. This joint venture, which includes ExxonMobil, Eni S.p.A., and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), intends to implement Honeywell UOP’s temperature swing adsorption-based SeparSIV^TM heavy hydrocarbon removal unit and MolSIV^TM unit for removing water and carbon dioxide.

This solvent-free LNG pretreatment process uses an adsorption-based system to remove water, CO2, mercury, and heavy hydrocarbons, ensuring minimal pressure loss. These units work together bring the LNG to the required specifications.

ExxonMobil expects the Rovuma LNG facility to produce 18 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually (Mtpa), using 12 modular LNG liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 1.5 Mtpa. To process the feed gas upstream of liquefaction trains, the design will utilize two parallel pretreatment trains of 9 Mtpa each.
