PAO NOVATEK (“NOVATEK”) obtained a Russian patent for its proprietary natural gas liquefaction technology called “Arctic Cascade Modified” (ACM), which builds upon NOVATEK’s patented Arctic Cascade process already implemented at the Yamal LNG project’s Train 4.
Stemming from operational lessons learned, improvements to the technology enable LNG production with a leaner equipment list and better energy efficiency. The underlying process design is compatible with domestically manufactured equipment.
The ACM liquefaction process is intended for the Company’s large-scale LNG projects in the Arctic with a production capacity of 3 mmtpa per LNG train.
