Svanehøj pumps selected for Northern Lights CO2 carriers

The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump techniques for two LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a document year for Svanehøj.
pressure gauge is growing infrastructure to move CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European nations by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, earlier than being transported by pipeline for everlasting storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m under the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. Both vessels will have a capability of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how will be shown to its full potential, because the buyer needs the pumps to even be used to handling LPG pure gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump methods to greater than 1,100 LPG tankers around the globe.
“We have received the order by way of our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo handling techniques for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gasoline pumps, which they’re very familiar with from numerous LPG tankers.”

Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump methods for CO2 carriers since the late 1990s.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we’re a half of the dialogue on a number of of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) tasks. CCS is a spotlight area in our enterprise technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is due to this fact of great strategic significance. This could be an enormous market for us within the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a brand new “Powering a better future” technique and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026. The technique is primarily targeted on supporting the transition to climate-neutral delivery, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
