Burckhardt passes test
June 28 (LNGJ) - Swiss company Burckhardt Compression said its Laby-GI Compressors for the MAN Energy Solutions M-Type Electronically Controlled-Gas Injection (ME-GI) engines has passed the one million operating hours mark. “The Burckhardt Compression Laby®-GI fuel gas compressor systems play an important role on LNG carriers,” explained the Winterthur-based company.
“As the liquified natural gas warms up during storage and transportation, the evaporated boil-off gas must be economically managed by either using it as fuel or re-liquefying it,” explained Burckhardt. “Both dual-fuel engines as well as re-liquefaction plants, require a certain operation pressure, ranging up to 300 bar. Therefore, Burckhardt Compression’s LNG solutions have been specifically designed to handle gases at low temperature and high pressure while meeting the requirements for operation at sea,” it added.
