WTS及NLI共同开发海洋应用LNG燃料罐

威尔森技术解决方案（WTS）和近海石油和天然气工程专家NLI解决方案（NLI），无论是挪威的公司，已获得原则性批准（AIP）从阶级社会挪威挪威船级社（DNV）对他们共同开发的LNG燃料罐的设计。

自2009年以来，两家公司曾开发的LNG燃料罐设计响应从船东使用LNG作为船用燃料越来越大的兴趣。该坦克设计IMO-B标准，是一个棱形，大气和自收自支的国家的最先进的低温绝热LNG钢罐。零件的坦克系统正在申请专利。

Liquiline的，DNV和Marintek的的LNG油箱开发项目的第一阶段共同出资由挪威研究理事会的的MAROFF程序，威尔森海事顾问，参与合作伙伴的发展。

NLI LNG储罐设计的应用程序，包括船上LNG燃油舱，坦克碉堡对液化天然气的船只，小型液化天然气运输船和小中型坦克在陆地上。这首由挪威船级社（DNV）的AIP是有效的，系统将被用作船用LNG燃料罐。

NLI TS-X坦克系统是基于以下原则：

• 棱光不锈钢罐
• 大气压力，0,7的酒吧或以上，等待不同的规定;
• 高新技术隔离具有损耗低（几乎没有汽化）
• 专利的固定装置
• 综合排水系统/泄漏处理

现在，这两个合作伙伴计划，以进一步发展坦克的概念，并在未来促进海洋产业的坦克设计和小规模LNG分销部门。

转向使用LNG船舶推进据说是从煤到石油的转变，但额外的环境效益，降低二氧化碳排放量显着。天然气价格预计将保持竞争力随着时间的推移，与柴油和馏分油产品相比也将有一个显着的经济利益，为船东。

Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions (WTS) and offshore oil and gas engineering specialist NLI Solutions (NLI), both Norwegian companies, have received Approval in Principal (AiP) from the Norwegian class society Det Norske Veritas (DNV) on their jointly-developed LNG fuel tank design.

The two companies have worked on the development of a LNG fuel tank design since 2009 in response to growing interest from shipowners to the use of LNG as a marine fuel. The tank is designed to IMO-B standards and is a prismatic, atmospheric and self-supporting LNG steel tank with state of the art cryogenic insulation. Parts of the tank system are patent pending.

The first stage of the LNG Fuel Tank development project was co-financed by the Norwegian Research Council’s MAROFF program, and Wilhelmsen Marine Consultants, Liquiline, DNV and Marintek participated as partners in the development.

The NLI LNG tank is designed for applications including ship board LNG bunker tanks, tanks for LNG bunker vessels, small LNG carriers and small to medium sized tanks on land. This first AiP from DNV is valid for the system to be used as marine LNG fuel tanks.

The NLI TS-X tank system is based on the following principles:

• Prismatic tanks in stainless steel
• Atmospheric pressure, 0,7 bar or more, pending different regulations
• High-tech isolation with low loss (practically no vaporization)
• Patented fixing device
• Integrated drain system/leak handling

The two partners are now planning to further develop the tank concept and in the future promote the tank design to the marine industry and the small scale LNG distribution sector.

The shift towards the use of LNG for marine propulsion is said to be as significant as the shift from coal to oil but with the additional environmental benefit of lower CO2 emissions. There will also be a significant financial benefit for ship owners as gas prices are expected to remain competitive over time compared with to diesel and distillate products.
