6 LNG Compressor Solutions Our Compressors: Performing Under Pressure Atlas Copco Gas and Process compressors for LNG deliver maximum efficiency in a compact package. They are lean, power-optimizing machines built to your order and driven by state-of-the-art technology. In 1973, the tanker Venator took to sea with an Atlas Copco compressor on board. Since then, we have evolved into one of the world s most trusted innovators in the LNG market, no matter what the application. Then and now, efficiency is the key to great compressor design. Equipment doesn t only need to save energy, it also needs to save space, which is extremely limited on board a ship and in small plants. Our equipment frees up valuable room for cargo. It conserves energy and operational costs without skimping on reliability because it s a product of cutting-edge engineering. Engineering Pioneers Atlas Copco compressors are powered by Integral Gear Technology, a groundbreaking solution we helped pioneer. Integral Gear Technology is uniquely versatile yet simple. Up to eight stages in one gearbox and multi-speed capability maximize a machine s efficiency while minimizing its on-site footprint. In addition, every compressor running on Integral Gear Technology can meet API 617, chapter 3 and API 672 standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Helping make on-board reliquefaction happen: the Compander. Atlas Copco is also at home in onshore applications such as LNG Storage. 6

10 Main Compressor Applications: Boil off Gas systems Reliquefaction Plants (Compander) Peak Shaving Fuel Gas Boosting, cryogenic and warm suction Regeneration Gas Compression N 2 Injection Plant and Process Air All applications can be onshore or offshore. Atlas Copco has BOG-Handling solutions for all tanker propulsion systems. Compander The Compander, a machine that merges compressor and expander functionalities, is another Atlas Copco original. A model of efficiency, it is vital in saving space, energy and all-around operational costs. Performing in its process, it increases the LNG load delivered to the customer. The result is an optimal solution for both offshore liquefication and for smaller onshore plants. Natural Gas Booster Cryogenic fuel gas boosters permit gas turbines to release their immense power potential by taking advantage of existing flash and boil-off gas. The compressed BOG can be used to generate electricity or to power compressors in the heart of gas power plants or on board of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. 10

19 Low-Pressure In-Tank Pumps Atlas Copco JC Carter Pumps low-pressure in-tank loading pumps are used to transfer liquids from storage tanks. Their vertical turbine hydraulic design boosts the delivery of liquid while decreasing the amount of boil-off gas produced, thereby reducing plant operation costs. All pumps feature JC Carter s HyPerInducer, a one-ofa-kind design developed with space age technology and patented in The HyPerInducer increases storage capacity by allowing lower pumping levels and boasts the lowest NPSH values in the industry. Vertical turbine bowl diffusers, high-efficiency impellers and slim-profile motors further maximize efficiency and longevity. A robust hollow motor shaft significantly eases maintenance. Pioneering pump technology since 1962

20 Main Pump Applications: In-tank loading pumps Transfer pumps Product pumps Loading pumps Circulation pumps High-pressure pumps Drain pumps All applications can be offshore or onshore. High-Pressure Pumps for Regasification Third generation submerged motor pumps for use in onshore plants or FSRU vessels include reliable and highly efficient in-tank, high pressure, and drain pumps. High-pressure cryogenic pumps compress LNG to 100 bar during regasification. High-pressure vaporizer feed pumps are driven by supersynchronous VFD s, resulting in a significant reduction in footprint wherever space is limited. Component modularity permits adding stages while maintaining a constant flow. Atlas Copco JC Carter pump technology has helped revolutionize LNG processes around the world. 20
