GLNG NEWS IN BRIEF GLNG

The 15,000 square foot office facility
is adjacent to their primary production
test site, which includes several significant
enhancements to operational efficiency, safety,
and increased production capabilities. Among
them is a new ground-level flare system which
offers greater efficiency and manufacturing
capacity. A Class 1 Division 1 electric
overhead crane was installed on the test pad.
This reduces costs, increases productivity
by allowing multiple operations to occur
simultaneously, improves safety by allowing
multi-pump lifting and installation for testing
and is certified for hazardous-rated areas.
“This is an exciting next step for our
company and a significant benefit for our
customers. NCI will now be able to increase
production and reduce turn-around time,”
