Cryogenic air separation is one of a number of applications that can benefit from the recovery of the waste cold released from LNG processes.

This is application is nothing new to the Asia-Pacific region, with various ASU’s linked to LNG terminals in operation in Japan for years, and countless other examples emerging in the region – including the new ‘RAPID’ project in Malaysia which is expected to start-up in early 2019.

With the continued rise of the LNG business, and a particular boom expected in the Asia-Pacific region in the years ahead, there is clear potential for further projects capitalising on the waste cold energy generated. China is one of the countries keen to tap into this potential; there are 41 LNG receiving terminals understood to be in operation, being built, or proposed in the country.
