LNG Deepwell Cargo Pumps

Minus 163°C

NEWS
The recent introduction of small gas carriers for the trans-
portation of LNG on the short sea market has opened up a
new area for the application of Hamworthy KSE Svanehøj’s
well known multi-stage deepwell cargo pumps, usually used
for the handling of LPG and Ethylene cargoes.

Traditionally LNG carriers have been large vessels, with cargo


capacities in excess of 100,000 m3, which have required large
capacity, submerged cargo pumps. However, it is expected
that the transportation requirements for smaller quantities
of LNG will increase dramatically in the coming years. To
date, two specific projects have merged, one in Japan and
the other in Europe.

Hamworthy KSE Svanehøj is ready to meet this new chal-


lenge with a dedicated range of LNG cargo pumps. Only a
few alterations to the design of the company’s existing
LPG/Ethylene cargo pump have been necessary to produce a
deepwell cargo pump capable of handling cargoes in the
temperature area of minus 163°C. Working in the lower
capacity range the new Svanehøj LNG cargo pumps repre-
sent an extremely economic alternative to the current use of
submerged deepwell pumps.

The standard, mass-produced, design provides customers with


a highly competitive pump. The use of standard EX motors fit-
ted on the deck of the LNG carrier means that installation
costs are reduced, as no power cables penetrate the cargo
tanks, while at the same time maintenance is simplified.

The pump is build over the same unique concept as


Svanehøj’s well known LPG Deepwell Cargo Pumps Type DW.

The pump consists of three major items:

• Pump cylinder, multi-stage type with inducer.
