About the GásLub Itaboraí Hub (Formerly Comperj)

For Marco Antonio Kronemberger, operations director of the company, the obstacle that Forship will face in the contract relates to the complexity of operating the electrical systems and steam generation, due to high voltage and the large volume of high-pressure steam.
