Mitsubishi's subsidiary companies announced their collaboration with ExxonMobil on Monday to develop and explore new gas turbines to reduce liquefied natural gas (LNG) unit costs, according to company.
The subsidiaries; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corporation and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) announced their collaboration with Exxon Mobil Corporation to design the advanced H-100 gas turbine technology
"The H-100 is a high-efficiency, heavy-duty, high-reliability, and low-maintenance gas turbine providing output in the medium range. Benefits of two-shaft gas turbines for LNG mechanical drive are reduced footprint, broad variable-speed operation, and full-pressure start-up," read the statement.
"The overriding aims of the collaboration are to reduce the complexity of LNG processing plants, lower their lifecycle costs, and cut plant emissions through enhancements to MHPS's existing two-shaft gas turbine technology," it said in the statement.
"ExxonMobil is widely recognized as an industry leader in terms of both project execution and efficiency," commented MHI President and CEO Shunichi Miyanaga.
