Una nuova soluzione per il bunkeraggio

e il rifornimento con GNL

L’ultima soluzione tecnologica di Saipem applicata al gas naturale liquefatto si chiama LiqueflexTM ed è stata presentata in
occasione dell’ultimo GASTECH, la più importante conferenza dedicata al gas naturale e al GNL tenutasi di recente a Houston,
in Texas. La tecnologia, in fase di brevettazione, è rivolta al mercato della liquefazione del gas naturale su piccola e media
scala, come quello della distribuzione locale di GNL. La tecnologia LiqueflexTM consiste in un processo di liquefazione del gas
naturale, applicato a impianti di produzione GNL concepiti secondo un design standardizzato, e installabili su base modulare
con capacità produttive comprese tra 200mila e 1milione 200mila tonnellate all’anno. Tali peculiarità consentono di abbattere
costi e tempi di realizzazione.
