PERU LNG 2021 Annual Report
ANNUAL REPORT
PERU LNG 2021
The PERU LNG plant transforms natural
gas into liquid to facilitate transport. This is
the first liquefaction plant in South America
and was built on 521 hectares of land, 163
kilometres south of Lima on the Southern
Pan-American Highway.
The site posed engineering challenges for
PERU LNG and therefore required exhaustive
and detailed study. Although Pampa Melchorita
met certain specific requirements, such as
a low level of environmental sensitivity, low.
population density, soil stability and stable sea
conditions, roads had to be built to reach the
shore and optimize the site's altitude of 135
m.a.s.l. to build the port facilities.
The plant has an installed capacity of 4.45
million tons per year (MMtpy) and processes
approximately 626 million cubic feet per day
(MMcfd), which covers the 4.2 MMtpy of LNG
established in the contract.
The industrial process begins with the reception
of dry natural gas from the Block 56 and 57
fields in Camisea and the removal of the liquids
it contains. The natural gas is first measured
and its pressure controlled, and which carbon
dioxide (CO2) is removed by the acid gas
removal unit.
