Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.(SHI), one of many world’s largest shipbuilders, has been awarded an Approval in Precept (AiP) for its Floating CO2 Storage Unit (FCSU) design from Bureau Veritas (BV), a worldwide chief in testing, inspection and certification. This recognition marks a big milestone within the improvement of carbon seize and storage expertise.
The AiP certificates was introduced to Haeki Jang, Chief Technical Officer of SHI, by Matthieu De Tugny, President of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, throughout a ceremony at Gastech 2024.
The floating CO2 storage unit encompasses a free-form stress tank design, geared up with Lattice Strain Vessel for CO2 storage that’s equal to the IMO Kind C cylindrical tanks. The design optimizes house by integrating the tanks straight into the hull of the unit, providing a extra environment friendly different to conventional cylindrical tank installations.
The FCSU is a groundbreaking marine facility which shops CO2 captured at onshore terminals, which is then compressed at excessive stress, saved in Lattice Strain Vessel, and injected into depleted submarine oil and fuel wells for long-term storage.
SHI and BV confirmed the essential feasibility of the FCSU, incorporating an enhanced CO2 storage tank system relevant to medium stress, in accordance with BV’s classification guidelines.
Haeki Jang, Chief Expertise Officer, Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., stated: “This new CCS product improvement is a big achievement that when once more demonstrates Samsung Heavy Industries’ technological experience and innovation. We’re dedicated to main the eco-friendly marine trade, and this expertise can be a key answer in decreasing carbon emissions and contributing to a sustainable future.”
