SAACKE Water Boiler Ordered for FLNG

SAACKE Marine Systems received an initial order from Japan-based JGC Corporation in June 2014 to deliver a complete high temperature water boiler system – consisting of a fired hot water boiler with a dual fuel burner and two heat recovery units – for PETRONAS’ second floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility.
 
"Japan is a key international shipbuilding market for SAACKE. That's why the order is a great success for our company, particularly in relation to the current market situation," said Peter Breidenich, Director Business Unit Marine Systems.
 
Specifically, the SAACKE heat recovery units utilize the hot flue gas generated by gas turbines to produce hot water for the heating system. The capacity of this waste heat recovery heater (WHRH) is 24.2 MW Hot water (outlet temperature 210°C, 31.1 barg). 
 
The hot water is used for heating purposes and as process heat. If additional capacity is required, or the upstream gas turbines are shut down, the fired SAACKE high temperature water boiler FMW-VD with DDZG dual fuel burner can take over a part of the heating capacity. 
 
"The dual fuel burner is characterized by its compliance with high environmental standards and its flexibility in the selection of fuel. It can be operated using either gas (LNG) or oil (marine gas oil). The energy-efficient use of waste heat also increases the environmental compatibility and efficiency of the system," Breidenich explained, adding the benefits of the SAACKE solution, which will be designed in accordance with the ASME code and current offshore standards. 
 
Nevertheless SAACKE meets all relevant international safety regulations. The hot water heater and the WRHU will be manufactured at SAACKE's Chinese production location in Qingdao while the burners and system control technology will be designed and produced at the head office in Bremen. The entire system is scheduled to be delivered in May 2015. Until then, SAACKE is responsible for the entire process chain – from the overarching project management through to the engineering, design, production and commissioning.
