PLAQUEMINES LNG - ENERGY
PROJECT DETAILS
Project Name: Plaquemines LNG
Project Type: Onshore LNG Terminal
Location: Onshore USA
BACKGROUND
Plaquemines LNG serves as one of the largest LNG export facilities in the USA.
OBJECTIVE
To provide jetty-mounted and main plant firewater pumps to the project with noise reduction and extreme weather protection as key factors.
SOLUTION
SPP provided both the jetty-mounted and the main plant firewater pumps to the project, providing vital firewater to the facility as well as the ship berthing jetty in the event of an emergency.
The firewater pumps were provided in noise-proof enclosures to ensure quiet operation during their weekly tests, and to protect the packages from the extreme hurricane conditions present on the Gulf of Mexico.
Pumps: GL12 Vertical Diesel Lineshaft Driven Firewater Pumps
SPP’s support throughout the project was commended by the customer in the below statement:
“We had an extremely successful inspection from the U.S. Fire Marshall and the Coast Guard Commander.

Andy (SPP Field Engineer) was very instrumental in getting the packages signed off and pulled me through the process, a very hard task)
I would love to work with Andy on another Fire Water Commissioning Project in the future. I would recommend an SPP Diesel Fire Water Package to anyone asking about the SPP product.”
