31 January 2012 Hamworthy plc becomes Wrtsil Hamworthy

Hamworthys portfolio of high technology products and systems represents a

valuable complementary addition to Wrtsils offering. The combining of the two
companies strengths will speed up and ease the means for customers to reduce
operating costs and achieve compliance with environmental legislation.

Use of Nitrogen as non-combustible and non-toxic cooling medium

Robustness due to single phase, single component, few or no splitting of streams
Can be ramped quickly up and down in capacity, also fully automatic
Can operate on optimum design point over a wide range of feed gas properties

Integrally geared compressor/expander (compander)

Liquefaction cold box

Brazed aluminium plate fin

heat exchanger
Designed with various
number of process streams
Installed inside an perlite
insulated box.

Gas sources

Gas pre-treatment

Requirements to gas entering liquefier

CO2

50 ppm

H2O

1 ppm

H2S

4 ppm

Pretreatment dependent on gas source:

Batch processes, e.g. active carbon
Amine systems (CO2 and H2S)
Mol sieve (CO2, H2O, N2, O2,..)
CO2 Wash (CO2, siloxanes, HFCs )
Membrane technology (CO2 and N2)
High H2S content => potentially cost driving
Energy consumption
Dependent of level of contaminants
To a large extent covered by heat

LNG Boil Off Gas Re- Liquefaction

Skldvik

Most of US LNG
import terminals are
ideling.

No solutions for the

BOG

Need to sent the

gas at zero price
into the gridline

LNG BOG plant will

re-liquefy the gas
and put it back into
the storage tank.
Gulf LNG Terminal

Similar as BOG Re-Liquefaction Plant

LNG export liquefaction plant design on barge for sheltered water

For LNG export terminals

in shelter waters a barge
solution could be the right
choice.

Illustration reflect a Mid

Scale LNG liquefaction
plant of 0,6 MMTPA or
75 mmscfd, with

LNG Storage from

existing LNG carries

LNG export via LNG

shuttle carriers.

LNG Regasifications - Abbreviations and applications

FSRU - Floating Storage and Regasification Unit

SRV - Shuttle Regas Vessel

JRU - Jetty Regas Unit

Floating regasification terminal for gas supply to power plant or city

pipeline network

Applied for new build vessels, retrofit to existing LNG carriers,

directly on the Jetty or to a barge

Fast project execution, ~18 Months for conversion, typical lease

arrangement of FSRUs imply low CAPEX
