Honeywell and Argent LNG have entered into an agreement to evaluate the application of Honeywell’s advanced pretreatment solutions at a planned liquefied natural gas export terminal in Port Fourchon, Louisiana. The collaboration is intended to support global energy security and reinforce the United States’ leadership in the LNG market.

Honeywell’s LNG pretreatment technologies are designed to remove contaminants from natural gas, helping to improve operational efficiency and overall production performance. The integrated use of Honeywell’s modular Mercury Removal Unit (MRU), Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU), and SeparSIV® Unit enables the removal of mercury, carbon dioxide, sulfur, water, and heavy hydrocarbons in line with stringent LNG specifications. The SeparSIV® technology, in particular, is capable of handling a range of feed gas compositions and can deliver up to a 50 percent reduction in lifecycle costs compared to conventional removal methods.

“Argent LNG is committed to delivering clean, secure, and cost-effective energy worldwide. To meet this objective, we must harness innovative technology and high-performance pretreatment solutions,” said Jonathan Bass, CEO of Argent LNG. “Honeywell’s established technologies present an opportunity to strengthen the US LNG sector and meet global demand for reliable energy supply.”

Global LNG demand is projected to grow by 60 percent by 2040, according to the Shell LNG Outlook 2025. In response, Argent LNG’s Port Fourchon terminal is designed for an initial capacity of 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG, with potential expansion to 25 MTPA—positioning it among the world’s largest LNG export facilities. Upon completion, the terminal will supply LNG to key markets across Asia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East.

“Honeywell’s cutting-edge LNG solutions are vital for advancing energy security and enabling the scalable production of LNG worldwide,” said Rajesh Gattupalli, President of Honeywell UOP. “Our portfolio provides flexible, end-to-end technologies tailored to the specific needs of our clients.”

Honeywell’s LNG offering spans pretreatment, liquefaction, and advanced automation technologies aimed at streamlining and optimising LNG operations. Additionally, Honeywell’s modular LNG systems can be fabricated off-site and delivered to project locations, reducing construction risk and timelines, and accelerating the path to commercial operation.
