Gas Land Concludes 2018 Summer Internship Program
Emmanuel Salas, 2018 graduate of the University of California, Irvine, recently completed Gas Land's summer internship program.
Manny worked through various process, mechanical, manufacturing, electrical, and materials science engineering tasks as he learned about the world of LNG and Gas Land's footprint. Calculating heater loads, conducting industry research, rendering lifting lugs with AutoCAD, and reviewing piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID's), Manny ventured well beyond the program and demonstrated a breadth of achievement.
Recently hired as a Mechanical Design Engineer with PBS Engineers, Inc., Manny is now based in the Los Angeles area. We at Gas Land are thrilled to have had you, Manny.
Candidates interested in applying to Gas Land's internship program should email Amy Yun.
Adriatic LNG Servicing
Gas Land recently visited Adriatic LNG to service four Nitrogen Generators that are running on the platform. Adriatic LNG terminal is a LNG receiving facility located in the Adriatic sea offshore of Porto Viro. Ten years ago, the Nitrogen Systems were designed to run three systems at all times, and use the fourth system as a backup. However, today the terminal is using one system continuously to meet normal demand requirements, and use all four systems during peak demand. Currently, each system produces about 200 - 220 Nm3/hr of Nitrogen at 98% purity. Gas Land worked with Adriatic LNG to further fine tune performance for each system such as monitoring DCS and recommending maintenance and spares, along with expanding the system's life for another 10 years.
Adriatic LNG is the world's first offshore gravity based structure LNG regasification terminal. The terminal mainly imports LNG from Qatar but also receives cargoes from Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Equatorial Guinea and Sabine Pass from the United States, all of which have Gas Land's Nitrogen Systems.
