FERC approves LNG import terminal expansion in Puerto Rico
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has agreed to a plan to expand the intake capacity of an LNG import terminal in Puerto Rico. The project could increase the number of LNG tanker loads received yearly from approximately 24 to 40.
EcoEléctrica LP operates LNG import, storage and regasification facilities at Guayanilla Bay in Peñuelas, on the south shore of the island. EcoEléctrica aims to increase the sendout capacity of its LNG terminal by 93 MMcfd, to a total of 279 MMcfd.
One of two existing spare LNG vaporizers will be put into place at Guayanilla Bay, thereby increasing LNG intake and regasification capacity.
According to the US Energy Information Administration, the Guayanilla Bay terminal receives most of its LNG supply from Trinidad and Tobago's Atlantic LNG export facility.
After the expansion is completed, EcoEléctrica will deliver 186 MMcfd of regasified LNG to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority's Costa Sur power generation plant, nearby the Guayanilla Bay import terminal.
EcoEléctrica will use the remaining 93 MMcfd of regasified LNG at its cogeneration plant.

Optimizing Gas Distribution: Accounting for Changeovers, Regulators, and More
Register Now
Gas distribution systems are critical to the effective operation of many industrial facilities around the world. Despite the importance of these systems, however, opportunities to improve their performance and cost-effectiveness are often missed or misunderstood. Increasing changeover pressure may seem like a good way to improve system flow, for example, but it often does so at the expense of bottled gas. Adding regulators may help you control supply pressure, but it also adds cost to your system. So, how do you know what the ideal gas distribution setup is for you?
Attend this webinar to:
- Gain a basic understanding of the fluid dynamics that affect pressure control in gas distribution systems, learning to interpret flow curves and recognize phenomena like lockup, droop, and supply pressure effect (SPE)
- Learn how inlet pressure affects regulator performance and when to specify certain regulator types and configurations to effectively control gas system pressures
Understand the inherent trade-offs between gas utilization and flow capacity and how to select both the right changeover pressure and automatic changeover panel design for your operations.
