- As part of a major LNG terminal project by Huizhou LNG Company Ltd., Svanehøj France has delivered the safety instrumentation and software for three LNG tanks at the Huizhou LNG Receiving Terminal.
According to the company’s website news release on April 4, 2023, The $1 billion Huizhou LNG Receiving Terminal is built with safety instrumentation and software solutions from Svanehøj France.
The three tanks form the first phase of the project and will have a capacity of 6.2 million tons annually. With the high capacity, it is necessary to ensure that every safety measure has been taken – especially in handling liquefied gas.
- In light of the growing capacities for LNG storage, it is essential to recognize the consequences following increased storage of LNG with different compositions, says Fabrice Vandewalle, Sales Manager at Svanehøj France.
Highest safety measures required
With a capacity of 6.2 million tons per annum, there is a higher risk of the chemical composition of the stored LNG developing into unstable stratifications.
However, with Svanehøj’s instrumentation and software solutions, it is possible to monitor any development of stratification in the composition. Thus, ensuring the highest safety measures for the stored liquefied natural gas.
- Our tank gauges, temperature transmitters, and control systems ensure that the LNG composition in the three tanks is constantly monitored and controlled so unstable stratification does not occur. We are proud to be a part of this ambitious project and ensure the highest safety measures in the LNG tanks at the Huizhou LNG import terminal, says Fabrice Vandewalle.
Huizhou LNG Company Ltd. will also include the construction of one jetty in the first phase, which can receive the world’s largest LNG carriers. The first phase is finalized, and in the project’s second phase, three additional LNG tanks will be built at the terminal. Huizhou LNG Company Ltd. expects the import terminal to be operational by the end of 2023.
