Galileo Technologies will supply 14 Cryobox-Trailer\u00ae LNG Production Stations to fuel the new power generation plant that Methax, a special purpose company also owned by Grupo Galileo, is building in Anchoris, Mendoza Province, Argentina.<\/p>\n

These portable and small-scale liquefaction units will be deployed to several orphan wells distributed throughout Malarg\u00fce’s region.<\/p>\n

By liquefying stranded gas, Galileo Technologies will supply up to 130,000 gallons of LNG per day, which will make this new power plant immune to Argentina’s natural gas shortage during winter time and the rising costs of switching from natural gas to diesel or fuel oil.<\/p>\n
The LNG produced on-site by the Cryobox units will be transported by road through cryogenic ISO containers from the well-heads to Anchoris, where it will be regasified. This operation will create an LNG virtual pipeline between every well and Anchoris.<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Our LNG Distributed Production model provides great flexibility to build power stations in strategic locations in spite of the unavailability of natural gas pipelines,\u00a0\u00bb says Mr. Osvaldo Del Campo, President and CEO at Grupo Galileo.<\/p>\n
The Methax natural gas-fired power plant is being installed at a key location of the grid in Mendoza and will supply 40 megawatts (MW) of power, which will alleviate the stress on transport and distribution power lines.<\/p>\n
