HERING delivered 2 steam generators to Bangladesh in October last year . The steam generators are using the waste heat from 2x 4.5MW natural gas engines to produce over 10,000 |
kg / h of saturated steam for the production plant of a large food company . HERING was already involved in the first feasibility studies for this |
project a few years ago . In the end , HERING has been responsible for the thermodynamic design , the detailed construction , and the complete production - 100 % |
in-house in Gunzenhausen / Germany , right up to the transport . The steam generators will be commissioned by the local partner on site . |
THE FLOATING production storage and offloading unit for Santos Ltd ’ s Barossa Field in the Timor Sea was officially named BW Opal at topsides builder Seatrium ’ s Singapore yard . BW Offshore claims it is one of the largest and most technically advanced ever built : “ A landmark project for BW Offshore and industry collaboration …” a remarkable journey since its inception in 2020 . “ With sustainability at its core , it incorporates energy-efficient technologies that reduce CO 2 emissions by 15 %, saving up to 2.3 million tonnes over its lifespan . Its combined-cycle gas turbines with waste heat recovery cut energy consumption by up to 66 %, maximising both efficiency and |
environmental performance ,” BWO said . BW Opal FPSO stands as one of the largest and most technically advanced units ever built , with a hull length of 358 metres and a width of 64 metres . It will have a gas handling capacity of 850 million standard cubic feet per day and a design capacity of 11,000 barrels per day of stabilised condensate . The unit will be turret moored , with a hull built using BW Offshore ’ s innovative RapidFramework ® design engineered to support advanced topsides , which weigh in at 45,000 tons . “ With the naming of our new flagship BW Opal , we have reached a milestone we have been looking forward to for almost four years ,” Marco Beenen , CEO BW Offshore , said . |

ContiOcean ® Environment Tech Group Co ., Ltd . ( ContiOcean ) recently delivered its first ( set of ) 7000PCTC ship waste heat recovery system , adding new impetus to the green transformation of the marine industry ! The system recovers waste heat generated during the operation of the ship ’ s main engine and converts it into electrical energy . It can effectively reduce energy consumption during ship operations and contribute to energy-saving and emission-reduction efforts in the shipping sector . During the project implementation , the ContiOcean team fully considered the compact space of the ship ’ s engine room and customized |
the design based on the engine room layout . By optimizing the shape of the skid-mounted unit , they effectively resolved the issue of limited space in the engine room . In addition , the skid-mounted unit features a detachable design , enabling disassembly for entry into the engine room and assembly inside , which significantly reduces installation time and improves construction efficiency . The ship waste heat recovery system is one of the latest energy-saving devices- launched by ContiOcean . The system employs advanced ORC ( Organic Rankine Cycle ) technology to utilize waste heat sources from ships , including flue gas , jacket |
water , and air coolers . It drives a turbine generator through the evaporation and expansion of an |
organic working fluid , thereby converting waste heat into electricity . |
