Galileo Technologies has installed nine Cryobox to produce 120 tons of LNG per day and supply a thermal power plant located in the province of Mendoza. With the implementation of this new Virtual Pipeline™, Galileo offers a modular and micro-scale solution for LNG production and a great alternative for the companies’ needs.
The liquefaction plant is located in the lands of the company Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. (TGN), next to the compression plant “La Mora”. These nine Cryobox are connected to the TGN pipeline, which operates 24 hours seven days a week, and delivers an LNG production of approximately 120 tons per day. This Virtual Pipeline™ supplies the Methax Thermal Power Plant on a continuous basis, which generates 40MW and is located in the town of Luján de Cuyo in the province of Mendoza.
“Our technology allows to liquefy gas directly into the well and transport it in cryogenic isotanks to deliver it according to the demand from the consumers. We are proud to operate in the Cuyo region, in where we know that we are ensuring the electricity needed on a continuous basis with the cutting-edge technology that characterizes us,” said Juan Ojanguren, Vice President of Galileo Energía S.A.
With cryogenic isotanks, the Virtual Pipeline™ system transports energy by road. This way, with micro-scaled LNG solutions, consumers that are not connected to traditional pipelines can be reached. In addition, the possibility that Galileo can transport fuel from and to remote places also helps reduce the environmental impact and reduce companies’ operative costs.
