Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) announced that it has successfully demonstrated its indirect heat exchanger regeneration system, LNG cargo hold ‘SOLIDUS’ and ‘MCTIB’ at the Energy System Experiment Center in Okpo Shipyard.
The demonstration attended more than 80 key personnel from the global marine industry, energy companies and Lloyd of the UK.
The recycled crematorium was created based on the results of LNG tests that have been applied by indirect heat exchange type vaporizer developed by DSME.
This technology aims to reduce initial investment and operating costs, and will be loaded on the LNG-FSRU currently being built at Okpo Shipyard, which is expected to be delivered in 2019.
The LNG Cargo Holder is a next-generation membrane type cargo hold that maximizes safety by applying double metal barriers.
DSME cooperated with German chemical company BASF, which produced environmental friendly insulation.
Furthermore, sol leaders are expected to drastically reduce the LNG evaporation rate from 0.07% to 0.049% per day for cargo holds, which are considered to be the industry’s limit. This facilitates the control of the amount of active evaporation of LNG.
Moreover, ‘MCTIB’ (High Manganese Steel Cargo Tank Independent Type-B), is an LNG storage tank, which uses high manganese steel. Its benefits are it has better safety and can reduce production costs in half.
