Wärtsilä to supply LNG satellite terminal to Raahe, Finland
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 1 September 2016 at 10 am EET
Wärtsilä has signed a turnkey contract to supply a liquefied natural gas (LNG)
receiving terminal to be built in Raahe, Finland. An EPCI (engineering,
procurement, construction and installation) contract has been signed with energy
company, Raahen Voima. The scope includes two LNG vacuum insulated storage tanks
with a combined net volume of 1400 m3, an LNG regasification system, truck
loading and unloading functions, and all required civil structures. The LNG
terminal is scheduled to be operational in April 2018. The LNG will be supplied
to Raahe by trucks from Wärtsilä's first LNG terminal installation, the Tornio
Manga facility in Finnish Lapland.
The main user for the natural gas from the terminal will be the SSAB Raahe steel
mill. By using LNG to generate power and heat to the mill, SSAB will be able to
move to cleaner energy production. As a result of switching to LNG, the steel
mill will notably reduce its CO2, NOx and SOx footprint.
"We wanted a modern LNG-terminal that utilizes reliable technology. Wärtsilä's
technology fits our need and they have experience as an EPC provider," says
Pekka Inkala, CEO, Raahen Voima.
"We are excited to be chosen as the EPC contractor for this LNG project. LNG not
only provides a reliable source of fuel, but also allows customers to produce
their products with a smaller impact on the environment," says Timo Mahlanen,
Senior Business Development Manager, Wärtsilä Energy Solutions.
