This includes treating gas derived from various sources, supplying the corresponding liquefaction technology, and providing LNG for further use in Europe.

Karsten Hoffhaus, Managing Director of Bilfinger EMS, said: “As part of this partnership, we will be able to provide all the required services throughout the entire lifecycle from under one roof – from the LNG facilities’ planning all the way to their installation. This will give a sustained boost to our position on the market.”

Corinne Ziege, Managing Director of Cryotec Anlagenbau, added: “We are looking forward to working together with Bilfinger EMS. Our combined expertise will allow us to offer customers an end-to-end solution for small scale LNG facilities, customised to their requirements and ‘made in Germany’.”

Cryotec specialises in cryogenic air-fractionation and liquefaction facilities, for which it provides its own in-house engineering and fabrication services.
