Severn Glocon Wins PT Donggi Senoro LNG Valves Contract 8th August 2011

Critical service control and choke manufacturer Severn Glocon has won a major contract to supply globe control and butterfly valves to the US$2.8 billion Donggi-Senoro LNG plant project in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The order was placed through JGC Corporation and the valves will be produced at Severn Glocon’s bespoke facility in Chennai, India. Around one third of the valves have been designed for low temperature application.

Donggi-Senoro produces around two million tons of LNG a year and 47,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of condensate. The single train LNG processing plant is expected to begin operation and delivery by 2014. Indonesia has been the largest LNG supplier to Japan and the new plant will fulfill an important role in boosting production.

“This is the first direct order from a Japanese EPC to utilise the Severn Glocon India production facility,” explained Severn Glocon director, Colin Findlay. “The wholly owned Chennai plant enables us to be highly competitive on price, without loss of quality or control.”
