Australian hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage and transport firm Provaris Energy has completed the phase-one delivery of an LCO2 tank front end engineering and design (FEED) program.
The programme included detailed engineering and material and weld testing of a 25,000 cbm LCO2 low-pressure tank and class approval with DNV.
It is working with Singaporean development partner Yinson Production, which has advised Provaris to continue with the second phase to finalise the FEED stage under the joint development agreement, through to June.
The tank is being developed for integration into Yinson Production’s design for a floating storage injection unit with 100,000 cbm storage capacity, intended for deployment at the Havstjerne CCS project located in the North Sea.
The new LCO₂ tank design will also be suitable for LCO₂ carriers and LCO₂ storage and terminal applications.
Per Roed, Provaris’ Chief Technical Officer, said the delivery of the LOC2 tank was on schedule and within budget and marks a step forward in advancing large-scale CO2 solutions for the market.
Together with Yinson Production, Provaris has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Himile Heavy Industries to assess the fabrication and costs of proprietary LCO2 tanks at Himile’s manufacturing site in Rushan, China.
