Chart Industries to Supply Four LNG Liquefaction Trains in Indonesia for Energy World Corporation Equipment orders exceed $100 million
CLEVELAND, July 2 [2007] /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chart Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTLS) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc. ("Chart E&C"), has been awarded significant orders totaling in excess of $100 million from Energy World Corporation Limited ("EWC") to supply Cold Boxes, Brazed Aluminum Heat Exchangers, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and ancillary equipment for four 500,000 tons per year Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") Liquefaction Trains to be installed by EWC in Southeast Asia. The trains are intended to provide LNG to meet the growing demand for LNG in
Do you notice any difference between these statements?
Well – there is some difference between an “LNG Plant and associated major equipment” (as per the EWC statement) and “Cold Boxes, Brazed Aluminum Heat Exchangers, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and ancillary equipment” as per the Chart release.
For a start nobody has mentioned purification (essential because otherwise the carbon dioxide that exists in all gas freezes in the cold-boxes and blocks the equipment), storage tanks, port facilities, pipelines to the gas field or anything else. The storage tanks are particularly expensive.

As an afterword: Funnily enough there is no point using Google to find anything put out by EWC. They format all their releases as PICTURES not as text – which makes them impossible for Google’s bots to dictate. I had to retype…
Further EWC doesn’t maintain a website – something that is unusual for a multi-billion dollar company.

They appear to have a CPP unit that purifies gas for input to their power plant that currently supplies local state owned power company. Presumably that is why they have no need for purifier at this stage. Agree with the comment on how unusual it is for a quoted company not to have a website. The only way of getting info is via ASX website and submissions that they make. Other issue that may cause problem on Sengkang project is the feeling at certain high levels in Indonesia that gas should be used for national projects such as fertiliser factories, all state owned, that are not working at full capacity due to lack of gas and giving gas to state owned electricity company for use in dual purpose power stations that currently use expensive diesel...all at very low prices. They may escape this threat as possibly 50% of gas will be going to supplying electricity locally via their power plant that produces electricity to sell to state electricity company.
They have a website now, although it doesn't have complete content. Today they also agreed to agree on a contract for a Papau New Guinea LNG plant.
