Factory LNG: MAN Energy Solutions and Woodside Energy announce alliance on innovative LNG technology

MAN Energy Solutions and Woodside Energy – a pioneer of the Australian LNG industry – have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at commercialising an innovative solution for small-to-mid scale LNG production. Known as Factory LNG, the technology combines Woodside’s intellectual property and LNG experience with MAN’s global manufacturing and project-execution expertise. The concept involves a nominal 0.05 Mtpa unit, the size of 40-foot ISO shipping container, that can be transported via standard heavy-lift shipping and trucking logistics. It also includes MAN’s HOFIM® highspeed, oil-free, integrated motor-compressor technology. Factory LNG offers 10 years’ low-to-no touch maintenance and provides flexible layout options making it easily adaptable to site constraints. The partners believe the newly developed infrastructure has the potential to unlock liquefaction capabilities at multiple locations around the globe. The system is designed and manufactured to be scalable so customers can increase ...

THE S81 ‘ISAAC PERAL’, BACK AFLOAT AFTER ITS FIRST SCHEDULED STRANDING

The submarine S81 IsaacPeral has returned to the water this Tuesday after the completion of the works planned during its first scheduled stranding and is at the Armament Pier of NAVANTIA, where the port tests of the submarine continue, after its launch last May. During this first stranding, the attack periscope has been embarked and the consoles of the combat system have been started in the command and control room. It is expected that during this week the first version of the software corresponding to the combat system will be installed, after the successful tests carried out in the Systems Division in San Fernando during the month of July. The submarine will remain during the coming months at the NAVANTIA Armament Dock, where it will continue to carry out the port tests. A second stranding is expected to take place in early 2022, prior to the start ...

The most powerful tidal turbine in the world with a power of 2 MW enters service

The most powerful tidal turbine in the world, with a nominal power of 2 MW, was put into operation and began to generate energy connected to the electricity grid in the United Kingdom, according to Orbital Marine Power, a Scottish company that developed the equipment. It is anchored in the waters of the Orkney Islands and is connected by submarine cables to the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC), located in this British archipelago. The 680-ton facility, dubbed ‘O2’, is expected to operate for the next 15 years and be able to meet the annual electricity demand of some 2,000 homes in the country with “clean and predictable energy” from fast water, offsetting approximately 2,200 tons of CO2 production per year. In addition, it will supply energy to EMEC’s land-based electrolyzer to generate green hydrogen. The CEO of the company, Andrew ...

Crean un motor monocilíndrico de hidrógeno capaz de generar más de 100 CV

Aquarius Engines acaba de presentar un motor monocilíndrico de hidrógeno que busca reducir las emisiones de los propulsores de combustión y evita depender de las pilas de hidrógeno. Además, es muy pequeño y ligero (10 kilos) y es capaz de desarrollar más de 100 CV de potencia. La historia de este motor se remonta a 2014, cuando la compañía presentó un bloque de explosión lineal, con un solo pistón y un único cilindro. Fue concebido para mover vehículos o como generador de electricidad independiente, con la particularidad de que en lugar de tener cientos de componentes móviles, apenas está formado por 20 piezas fijas y una móvil. El propulsor trabaja con un sistema de intercambio de gases que, aunque no hace que sea un cero emisiones, si reduce considerablemente las emisiones contaminantes. Además, puede entregar hasta 80 kW (107 CV). En estos años la firma ha trabajado ...
