The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump systems for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities in Norway.
2021 has been a document year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is developing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European countries by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, earlier than being transported by pipeline for permanent storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m beneath 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 may have a capacity of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how shall be proven to its full potential, because the customer desires the pumps to also be used to handling LPG natural gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has equipped cargo pump methods to greater than 1,100 LPG tankers around the globe.
“ ราคาpressuregauge have gained the order by way of our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with systems for the CO2 carriers,” said Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, gross sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gasoline pumps, which they’re very conversant in from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers since the late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the comparatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we are a part of the dialogue on several 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 due to this fact of great strategic significance. This might be a big marketplace for us throughout 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 technique is primarily focused on supporting the transition to climate-neutral delivery, but in addition on investing in new business areas, together with CCS.
