Technical assistance and engineering development for FRAYLOG in the implementation of a compressed natural gas (CNG) compression and distribution plant with a base capacity of 400,000 Nm³/day and plans to double that capacity in the future. The facility will receive natural gas at a pressure of 40 bar and will operate as a transfer and logistics hub for overland distribution via trucks carrying trailers with a net capacity of approximately 7,000 m³ per trip.

Scope

It covers the initial phases of technical design, the integration of third-party supplies, and legal procedures with the authorities:

• Engineering Phases: Development of Conceptual Engineering and Basic Engineering (APL—Ready for Bidding), covering the following disciplines: civil engineering, architecture, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, piping, electrical engineering, instrumentation, control, hydraulics, plumbing, and fire protection.

• Equipment Management: Integration of vendor-provided packaged equipment and technical support during the selection process for technology specialists.

• Permits and Environment: Management, overall project coordination, and preparation of all required environmental documentation (Project Classification – CdP, Environmental Feasibility Study for Site Selection – VAL, and Environmental and Social Impact Assessment – ESIA) to obtain the Preliminary Environmental Authorization (AAP) from DINACEA.

Impact

The project establishes the technical and regulatory foundation for a new large-scale energy distribution hub, optimizing the logistics chain and the transportation of compressed natural gas within the country. By structuring the engineering design with flexibility for future expansion and rigorously integrating the technological equipment, the plant’s operational risk is reduced, while the simultaneous design of environmental studies ensures the asset’s viability in accordance with the sustainability and safety standards required by DINACEA.
