中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网12月28日消息 BW液化石油气公司（BW LPG）是世界上最大的液化石油气航运公司，其液化石油气改造项目取得了新的里程碑。 BW液化石油气公司通过其社交媒体渠道发表简短声明称，其此次改装的BW Orion已经完成了海上和天然气试验。 该船紧随BW Gemini和BW Orion，这是第一批使用领先的液化石油气推进技术改装的超大型气体运输船（VLGC）。 这也是将采用双重液化石油气推进技术改装的15艘船舶中的第三艘。 改装过程正在中国深圳友联船厂进行。 BW液化石油气公司指出，改造过程排放约2060吨二氧化碳，与订购采用类似技术的新船相比，这一排放量降低了97%。 脱碳是该行业的主要挑战之一，也是BW液化石油气公司追求可持续发展的核心承诺。 该公司认为，使用液化石油气作为推进燃料是可持续航运的一个有希望的解决方案。 液化石油气还可以作为连接氨的燃料，因为液化石油气储罐和系统所用的材料在大多数情况下都适用于氨。根据DNV GL的说法，通过提前规划，从液化石油气转换为氨气所需的调整也可以最小化。 吴恒磊 编译自 世界天然气 原文如下： BW LPG’s third retrofit completes sea and gas trials BW LPG, the world’s largest liquid petroleum gas shipping company, has hit a new milestone in its LPG retrofit program. In a brief statement through its social media channels, BW LPG said its this retrofit, the BW Orion has completed sea and gas trials. The vessel follows BW Gemini and BW Orion, the first two very large gas carriers (VLGC) to be retrofitted with pioneering LPG propulsion technology. It is also the third of a total of 15 vessels that will be retrofitted with the dual-duel LPG propulsion technology. The retrofitting process is being carried out at the Yiu Lian Dockyard in Shenzhen, China. BW LPG noted that the retrofit process emits around 2,060 tons of carbon dioxide, which is 97 per cent lower when compared to ordering a newbuilding with similar technology. Decarbonization is one of the industry’s main challenges and a core commitment of BW LPG in the pursuit of sustainable development. Using LPG as fuel for propulsion is a promising solution for sustainable shipping, the company believes. LPG could also act as a bridging fuel to ammonia, as the materials used for LPG tanks and systems are, in most cases, suitable for ammonia. With advanced planning, the adjustments needed for a switch to ammonia from LPG could also be minimized, according to DNV GL. |
