GNL Quintero is Latin America’s first LNG reception, storage, and regasification terminal. It is now the world’s leading LNG truck loading facility and Chile’s main gas supply source for the central region.
OUR WORK
Montrel contributed in two phases:
- 2010: implementation of the initial cryogenic truck loading terminal, with two loading bays and a full control system.
- 2013–2015: expansion with two additional bays, electrical and instrumentation engineering for a third vaporizer, and reinforcement of the control system.
Scope included basic and detailed engineering, supply of two skids with flow control valves, software extensions for process management, and integration of administrative documentation. Engineering also covered electrical systems, interlocks, and fire/gas/cryo detection.
The expansion was executed without interrupting operations. By 2013, GNL Quintero reached 10,000 trucks loaded; by 2015, capacity doubled with four bays; by 2018, over 50,000 trucks had been loaded.
La ampliación se ejecutó sin afectar al funcionamiento operativo de la planta. En 2013, GNL Quintero alcanzó el hito de 10.000 camiones cargados. Gracias a la ampliación finalizada en 2015, la capacidad de carga se duplicó con cuatro isletas operativas, y en 2018 se superaron las 50.000 cisternas cargadas.
