A postgraduate student and lecturer in mechanical engineering at The University of Western Australia has won a prestigious national scholarship.

The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) has awarded its KA Richards Scholarship to Mr Paul Hofman to continue his promising research into increasing LNG production efficiency through cryogenic pressure swing adsorption.

Mr Hofman's research could lead to the successful development of new technology that will increase the production efficiency of LNG and consequently reduce the environmental impact and cost of LNG production.
