We make Carbon Capture and Storage easy to adopt

At Svanehoj our flexible product range in DW Gas Pumps is able to handle all types of gas cargo including CO2. Serveral CO2 carriers around the world are already equipped with a Svanehoj Pump Solution and have been for the last decade which has given us valuable knowledge and experience in producing and servicing equipment for carbon capture and storage.

Engineered to handle CO2

At Svanehoj we contribute with quality and performance that supports the growing industry of carbon capture and storage. With our in-depth experience and a proven track-record, we make it uncomplicated to adapt to the fast-growing world of carbon-neutral solutions – helping the world in the transition to a greener tomorrow.

The unique design of the Svanehoj DW Pump ensures a low NPSHr and reduces the risk of cavitation and dry ice formation.
Fully pressurised tankers, cargo at ambient temperature, tank pressure up to 20 bar.
Semi-refrigerated tankers, cargo liquified by cooling/pressure process down to (-55 °C).

THE WORLD’S LARGEST CO2 CARRIERS WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH SVANEHOJ PUMPS

As a subcontractor to LGE, Svanehoj will deliver cargo and booster pumps for two state-of-the-art LCO2 carriers with a cargo capacity of 22,000 m³ each.

The project signifies a significant development in the design of LCO2 carriers, being the first to incorporate LGE's new ecoCO2® cargo handling system. It is the world's first cargo handling and reliquefication system for a low-pressure cargo tank design. The solution for the two new LCO2 carriers is characterized by high flexibility, enabling the carriage of not only CO2 but also LPG and ammonia.

The benefits of a CO2-solution from Svanehøj

The DW Pump is designed to support CO2 but also other all other fuel gas types such as LPG, LNG, methanol, and ammonia.
Low pressurized C02 with pressure down to 4.2 bar ensures a low NPSHr and reduces the risk of cavitation and dry ice formation.
Fully pressurized tankers, cargo at ambient temperature, tank pressure up to 20 bar.
Semi-refrigerated tankers cargo liquified by cooling/pressure process down to (-55 °C)
By placing all sensitive components outside the tank, you are guaranteed much safer operations and less maintenance costs (25.000 hour/5-year service intervals)

Shipping of liquified CO2

The large quantities of CO2 need to be transported from the capture facilities to the place of storage. Shipping will offer one of the most safe, flexible, and cost-efficient transportation solutions of CO2.

The viable up-scaling of Carbon Capture & Storage, though, will require not only a larger fleet but also larger CO2 carriers and tankers that can collect CO2 from capture sites from industries around the world.

One of the main challenges will be increasing individual vessel’s capacity, allowing more CO2 per transported unit, without introducing new risks. Svanehoj is already part of several upcoming CCS projects and due to extensive experience and proven CO2-technology well prepared for the task.

Accelerating the transition to carbon neutral operations

Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) can capture up to 90% of the CO2 emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in industrial processes, preventing it from entering the atmosphere. Together with developments within bioenergy, many experts, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, anticipate that CCS even can become a negative emissions technology in the future. This makes CCS one of the most recognized and wanted elements in the reduction of greenhouse emissions. Several large-scale carbon capture facilities already capture around 30 million tons of carbon from fertilizer, hydrogen and natural gas and more than 35 projects are under development, alone in Europe.

An essential advantage of capture and storage of CO2 is the proven technology. Companies have injected CO2 into reservoirs for years. The future challenge is massive up-scaling, commercially viable flexibility and ensuring a global logistics set-up
