LNG

Sept 20 (LNGJ) - Wison Offshore and Marine of China said its 300-megawatt floating storage, regasification and power generation barge that will use regasified LNG has been approved by Lloyd's Register, the UK maritime classification society. “With a total storage capacity of 170,000 cubic metres in GTT membrane cargo tanks, it can receive full cargoes, keeping the cost of LNG supply low,” said Wison. “LNG will be loaded through a ship-to-ship transfer and regasified, feeding the gas turbines. Waste heat from the turbines is recovered to generate steam, which in turn feeds the steam turbine generator. Electric power is stepped up to high voltage before transmission to shore,” explained Wison.
