ADNOC Gas Processing is undertaking the upgrade of its sales gas pipeline network upgrade of the LNG Preconditioning Plant (LPP) in the UAE.

The objective of the LPP facility is to further process the residue gas of MERAM facilities to produce minimum 1500 MMSCFD of preconditioned gas suitable to produce LNG.

The feedstock for the new LNG plant in Ruwais will be supplied by Adnoc Gas from its new MERAM+LPP integrated facility in Habshan 5.

The MERAM+LPP integrated facility shall process residue gas to meet the LNG feed gas specification (quantity and quality except high heating value (HHV).

This project is known as ESTIDAMA.
