Burckhardt Compression has been awarded an important contract by way of Hanwha Ocean (South Korea) to offer 14 boil‑off gasoline (BOG) compressors for seven 174,000 m³ LNG carriers. The challenge marks the primary business deployment of Burckhardt Compression’s new high-pressure boil-off gasoline compressor technology, particularly engineered to fulfill the necessities of subsequent‑technology LNG carriers.
Hanwha Ocean’s newest vessel platform introduces GTT’s shipment containment machine NO96 Tremendous+ and Everllence’s upgraded ME‑GI propulsion machine running at 330‑bar gasoline injection stress, leading to decrease BOG charges and progressed power intake, assembly the longer term necessities for stricter emission and methane slip laws. In shut collaboration with Everllence and the Hanwha Ocean design groups, Burckhardt Compression advanced the high-pressure compressor to fulfill those increased efficiency expectancies.
The compressor integrates absolutely into the revised send design, forming a core part of the brand new vessel platform. “Winning this milestone project demonstrates our technological leadership in high‑pressure ME‑GI applications,” mentioned Andreas Brautsch, President Methods Department of Burckhardt Compression “This compressor sets a new performance benchmark in BOG management and reinforces our role as a key technology partner for next‑generation LNG carriers.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Burckhardt Compression in such a significant order. Combined with these compressors, the Everllence B&W ME-GI will provide a future-proof solution for LNG and methane-powered vessels with negligible methane-slip and high fuel-efficiency, adding to its proven track record of high-performance and reliable operation, regardless of conditions.” mentioned Christian Ludwig – Vice President, Head of International Gross sales & Promotion, Two-Stroke Industry, Everllence
This award is the largest unmarried order within the Marine section in Burckhardt Compression’s historical past.
