Tanker VOC recovery plants to cut emissions caused by offshore loading

摘要

Kvaerner Process Systems (KPS) has received orders from both Statoil and Navion for non-methane volatile organic compounds (nmVOC) recovery plants. This suggests, technology has finally come of age after almost a decade of development. KPS is to supply three plants worth in excess of USS17 million, with options to supply a further five plants to Statoil. Two of the plants will be installed on tankers serving Statoil's StatFjord and Gullfaks fields, while the package for Navion is destined for a tanker serving Noske Shell's Draugen development.
