Wärtsilä Mobile LNG to enable small and medium scale LNG power generation
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Trade press release, 27 October 2015 at 9 am EET
A new LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage and regasification barge concept is
introduced by Wärtsilä. This innovative solution provides a flexible means of
meeting small to medium scale requirements where pure land-based LNG options are
limited. Wärtsilä's Marine Solutions and Energy Solutions businesses have
combined their expertise in developing the concept. This latest Wärtsilä
innovation will be presented at the Gastech conference and exhibition being held
October 27 - 30 in Singapore.
The Wärtsilä Mobile LNG can easily be combined with a barge-mounted power plant
having an output capacity of up to 250 MW. Alternatively, it can be used to
supply conventional land-based power plants. The Wärtsilä Mobile LNG solution
will make LNG available to new consumer segments, and will benefit both
utilities and end-users. Most especially, the flexibility of location can bring
clean energy to areas that have only limited or no access to the national
electricity grid.
"Wärtsilä's solutions support the entire gas value chain, from drilling and
production, to delivery, liquefaction, regasification, storage, and power
generation. This latest innovation is one more important step towards completing
our LNG infrastructure offering. Most existing facilities are geared for larger-
scale users, whereas the Wärtsilä Mobile LNG offers a flexible and mobile option
for small to medium requirements," says Timo Koponen, Vice President, Flow and
Gas Solutions, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
The Wärtsilä Mobile LNG has been developed for challenging locations where
pipelines and large-scale LNG receiving terminals are not feasible, or where the
quantities of LNG needed are smaller. It represents an ideal solution for
shallow water areas where access for larger vessels would not be possible
without major jetty constructions or dredging operations. Compared to
constructing conventional land-based terminals in difficult soil conditions and
areas with an undeveloped infrastructure, the barge can represent a
significantly lower capital investment (capex) and faster delivery. Furthermore,
being mobile, it can be easily re-located giving it a high resale value.
