Burckhardt Compression has been awarded a major contract by Hanwha Ocean (South Korea) to provide 14 boil‑off gasoline (BOG) compressors for seven 174,000 m³ LNG carriers. The challenge marks the primary industrial deployment of Burckhardt Compression’s new high-pressure boil-off gasoline compressor technology, particularly engineered to fulfill the necessities of subsequent‑technology LNG carriers.
Hanwha Ocean’s newest vessel platform introduces GTT’s cargo containment system NO96 Tremendous+ and Everllence’s upgraded ME‑GI propulsion system working at 330‑bar gasoline injection stress, leading to decrease BOG charges and improved vitality consumption, assembly the long run necessities for stricter emission and methane slip laws. In shut collaboration with Everllence and the Hanwha Ocean design groups, Burckhardt Compression developed the high-pressure compressor to fulfill these elevated efficiency expectations.
The compressor integrates absolutely into the revised ship design, forming a core component of the brand new vessel platform. “Winning this milestone project demonstrates our technological leadership in high‑pressure ME‑GI applications,” mentioned Andreas Brautsch, President Programs Division of Burckhardt Compression “This compressor sets a new performance benchmark in BOG management and reinforces our role as a key technology partner for next‑generation LNG carriers.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Burckhardt Compression in such a significant order. Combined with these compressors, the Everllence B&W ME-GI will provide a future-proof solution for LNG and methane-powered vessels with negligible methane-slip and high fuel-efficiency, adding to its proven track record of high-performance and reliable operation, regardless of conditions.” mentioned Christian Ludwig – Vice President, Head of World Gross sales & Promotion, Two-Stroke Enterprise, Everllence
This award is the largest single order within the Marine section in Burckhardt Compression’s historical past. By securing this challenge, Burckhardt Compression establishes a lighthouse trade reference and strengthens its lengthy‑time period place within the world LNG service market.
