OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Jan. 27 (UPI) -- U.S.-based Black & Veatch will supply liquefied natural gas to rural China.
The engineering, consulting and construction company announced it will use its patented PRICO LNG process to bring natural gas supplies to rural Chinese customers.
"The availability of natural gas supplies for rural China residents is important in improving the quality of life in parts of the country where energy distribution utilities are in the early stages of development," said Brian Price, Black & Veatch's vice president of LNG technology.
The firm will build six LNG plants: in Erdos, Inner Mongolia; in Zhuhai in Guangdong province; in central Sichuan province, central Shaanxi province, northwestern Gansu province and the northwestern Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
Once all the plants are complete, the facilities will be capable of supplying about 1.2 million tons per year of LNG.
