Cargo handling system for ethylene gas carriers
Main cargo is ethylene but other cargoes like ethane, LPG`s, Propylene, Ammonia, VCM and certain chemicals are also on the cargo list, making the vessels flexible in the market.
A leading supplier of cargo handling systems for gas carriers
Construction of ethylene gas carriers (LEG/C) started back in the early 1970`s. Gas Solutions been working in this segment since the beginning. Ethylene carriers are in the range from 4k m3 to 22k m3.
Main cargo is ethylene but other cargoes like ethane, LPG`s, Propylene, Ammonia, VCM and certain chemicals are also on the cargo list, making the vessels flexible in the market.
The newest cargo systems are designed with integrated gas fuel supply systems making the vessels environmentally friendly.
The system supply comprises cargo system engineering, material supply and hand-over to owner with crew training services included.
Technical Data
Nord Gas Solutions has been developing the ethylene cargo handling system since the start of this industry. The system has been developed harvesting from practical experiences.
The system is designed with two cargo segregations that both need to be kept segregated and cooled. The design for cargo tank combinations can be made to project depending on chartering demand for flexibility.
The deck arrangement is designed for logical and easy access to all equipment. The weather protected design ensures life-long operation of the system.
The ethylene gas carrier requires a reliquefaction plant of cascade type that effectively will cool down cargoes during laden voyage ensuring the ethylene is ready for discharging according to charter contract.
The system supply includes the cargo control system which enable remote monitoring and control of the system including various subsystems like the Inert Gas System and interface to the load computer.
