The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump methods for two LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage amenities in Norway.
2021 has been a record 12 months for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is growing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European international locations by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for permanent storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m under the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. Both vessels could have a capacity of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise might be proven to its full potential, because the customer desires the pumps to also be used to dealing with LPG natural gas. Over เพรสเชอร์เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำ , Svanehøj has equipped cargo pump systems to greater than 1,one hundred LPG tankers around the world.
“We have won the order via our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo handling systems for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they’re very conversant in from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers for the rationale that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we are part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) projects. CCS is a spotlight area in our enterprise strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is due to this fact of great strategic significance. This could be an enormous market for us within the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a greater future” technique and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026. The strategy is primarily focused on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, including CCS.
