LAPP and Unidro: Innovation and Sustainability in the Qatar Desert

We're proud to announce that LAPP Italia, in collaboration with LAPP Camuna Cavi, delivered innovative solutions for Unidro, a global leader in water treatment solutions, for the North Field East Project in Qatar! This low-emission Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) mega-plant is the largest of its kind worldwide.

UNIDRO was awarded the water treatment packages for the plant, which will consist of 4 megatrains, each with a capacity of 8 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of LNG, and will include a large CO2 capture and sequestration system, leading to a reduction of over 25% in greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar LNG plants.

The Challenge for LAPP? To supply tailor-made cabling solutions for Unidro's water treatment skids, capable of withstanding extreme desert conditions while ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality, and sustainability, all with a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions!

At LAPP Camuna Cavi, we designed and produced four types of tailor-made cables featuring a special "Moisture Barrier Sheath." This innovative technology, which combines aluminum tape, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyamide (PA), makes the cables:

• Lighter than traditional solutions.
• With an improved bending radius.
• "Green" and RoHS compliant.
• Perfect for operating in explosive environments, in the presence of chemicals, and EMC-optimized.
• Extremely resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations, wind, sand, and sea salt.

Thanks to our deep expertise and the support of the Fire Test Competence Center in Edolo, we not only met but exceeded delivery times, supplying the cables in just 8 weeks instead of the anticipated 12!

"The North Field East Project is an undertaking of enormous proportions... we are particularly proud of the work done for and with Unidro," comments Gaetano Grasso, Head of Product Management and Marketing at Lapp Italia.

Mircko Sangaletti, E&I Lead Engineer at Unidro, adds: "The collaboration with Lapp was very positive and productive. We appreciated their ability to adapt proposals to the project's environmental challenges and our time-to-market requirements."

This demonstrates how innovation, advanced engineering, and strategic collaboration can lead to exceptional results, even in the most extreme conditions.
