HIGH-PRESSURE COMPRESSORS FOR LNG BOG MANAGEMENT

Product catalog summary

LNG as a Marine Fuel Alternative
With upcoming IMO regulations reducing sulfur content in marine diesel to 0.5% by 2020, LNG emerges as a competitive alternative fuel for merchant ships. Effective management of boil-off gas (BOG) is crucial to maintain the structural integrity of onboard gas tanks, and utilizing BOG as fuel is the most efficient method.

Marine High-Pressure Compressors
Burckhardt Compression offers specialized compressor solutions for BOG handling in marine applications. These compressors are designed to compress BOG for injection into high-pressure ME-GI engines.

HIGH-PRESSURE COMPRESSORS FOR LNG BOG MANAGEMENT-1

HIGH-PRESSURE COMPRESSORS FOR LNG BOG MANAGEMENT MAN ME-GI FUEL-GAS SUPPLY ON MERCHANT SHIPS LNG AS A MARINE FUEL ALTERNATIVE Upcoming IMO regulations will cut the sulfur content of marine diesel to 0.5% by the year 2020. LNG will consequently become a competitive alternative fuel for merchant ships. Occurring boil-off gas (BOG) must be managed to protect the structural integrity of the onboard gas tanks. The most efficient way of managing boil-off gas (BOG) is to use it as fuel. Burckhardt Compression offers a variety of compressor solutions for BOG handling that have been specifically designed for marine applications. Our Marine High-Pressure Compressors can compress the BOG for injection into high-pressure ME-GI engines. CUSTOMER BENEFITS OF MARINE HIGH-PRESSURE COMPRESSORS • Low investment cost for Marine High-Pressure Compressor system required (attractive CAPEX) • Gas-tight crankcase for greater safety and zero gas loss • Possibility of installing redundant BOG-handling compressors • Low power consumption leads to minimized operational costs (OPEX) • Small footprint and minimum weight • Low system complexity for easy integration • Ship's crew can perform onboard maintenance • Simple parallel operation with pump vaporizer • Full range of after-sales services available
