Jord International has secured the Delfin FLNG1 ACC contract to design and supply a large air-cooled condenser system for the floating LNG facility under construction for Delfin Midstream offshore Louisiana, United States.
The company announced the award through its official LinkedIn account, identifying Black & Veatch as the topsides engineering and procurement contractor.
The condenser system will support onboard power generation. However, Jord did not disclose the contract value, equipment capacity or delivery schedule.
Delfin’s earlier engineering design provides background on the role of air-cooled condensers in the project’s power generation concept.
A 2022 engineering document submitted to US regulators described a waste-heat recovery arrangement that would use exhaust heat from gas turbines driving LNG refrigeration compressors to generate steam for electricity production.
Under that design, air-cooled condensers would condense exhaust steam from the steam turbines without relying on seawater cooling. The system was estimated to generate approximately 30 MW of electricity during normal operations.
However, the document predates the current 4.4-million-tonne-per-year FLNG1 configuration. The final arrangement of Jord’s newly awarded condenser package has not been disclosed, and the earlier power generation estimate should not be treated as a confirmed specification for the current facility.
The ACC award follows other equipment contracts for Delfin FLNG1, including gas turbine equipment from Siemens Energy and LNG containment system design from GTT.
Samsung Heavy Industries is constructing the FLNG unit, while Black & Veatch is providing PRICO liquefaction technology and topsides engineering, procurement and commissioning services.
The project reached its $5 billion final investment decision in June 2026, with LNG production expected to begin in 2030.
