Context Analysis and involved customers
ItalianSmall Scale Plant is a prestigious project with many years of work behind it. Such Small Scale Plant is designed to receive, stock and transfer LNG to individual citizens, companies, fuel for truck and ferries. The Small Scale Plant has a storage capacity of 20,000 cubic meters of LNG and a potential annual handling of over 1 million cubic meters of liquid gas, making LNG available in Italy to power at least 12,000 trucks and up to 48 ferries per year.
Problem to solve
The challenge is in transferring this cryogenic liquid from ITALIAN Small Scale Plant onto a LNG tank truck from the rear or from the side connection with a significant difference related to dimensions considering that there is not construction standard for trucks. The estimated loading is 12,000 trucks per year and this, must be done quickly and safely. Also, the LNG loading station need to be approved by the firefighters with a very strong requirement related to the safety of the system.
Conclusions:
We are very proud of what we have done, we had to meet the very strong requirements of customer and fire brigade and we did it successfully.
Now we already have many cryogenic loading skids working efficiently and reliably helping the world to make the energy transition.
