The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump techniques for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a record year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is developing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European international locations by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, earlier than being transported by pipeline for everlasting 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. ที่วัดแรงดัน will have a capacity of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how will be shown to its full potential, because the customer wants the pumps to even be used to dealing with LPG pure gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump methods to greater than 1,100 LPG tankers around the globe.
“We have won the order via our long-standing associate, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with techniques for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they’re very acquainted with from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers because the late 1990s.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we are part of the dialogue on a number of of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) tasks. CCS is a focus area in our enterprise technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic importance. This might be a big marketplace for us within the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a brand new “Powering a greater future” technique and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the end of 2026.
