西门子与道达尔合作开发绿色LNG

据管道&天然气杂志网6月11日报道，西门子天然气与电力公司已与道达尔（Total）达成协议，以开发绿色液化天然气（LNG）生产的新概念。

作为合同的一部分，西门子天然气和电力公司正在进行研究，探索各种可能的液化和发电厂设计，最终目标是使液化天然气的生产脱碳。

这些研究针对的是关键领域，例如减少LNG液化设施的环境足迹以及相关的温室气体排放，工厂的可靠性，可维护性，法规遵从性和开发成本。

要探讨的概念包括使用燃气轮机和电动压缩生产线，结合已证明的单混合制冷剂和双混合制冷剂技术，选择能够尽量减少或消除工艺燃烧的设备，以及开发技术以提高现场发电设施的效率(热回收系统、入口空气冷却、补充燃烧、可再生能源集成、电池储存等 )。

这些研究还在探索如何利用数字化和自动化平台来优化工厂设计并实现无缝的项目执行。

西门子能源油气部门首席执行官Thorbjoern Fors表示，我们很荣幸能与道达尔合作，共同致力于降低工厂排放，实现液化天然气生产的最高可持续性。

Siemens, Total Partner to Develop Concepts for Low-Emissions LNG Production

Siemens Gas and Power has entered into an agreement with Total to develop new concepts for green liquified natural gas (LNG) production.

As part of the contract, Siemens Gas and Power is conducting studies to explore a variety of possible liquefaction and power generation plant designs, with the ultimate goal of decarbonizing the production of LNG.

The studies are targeting key areas, such as reducing the environmental footprint of LNG liquefaction facilities and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, plant reliability, maintainability, regulatory compliance, and development costs.

Concepts to be explored include the use of gas turbine- and electric-driven compression trains in conjunction with proven single-mixed refrigerant and double-mixed refrigerant technologies, selecting equipment that can minimize or eliminate process flaring, and developing techniques to improve the efficiency of onsite power generation facilities (heat recovery systems, inlet air chilling, supplementary firing, renewables integration, battery storage, etc.).

The studies are also exploring how to leverage digitalization and automation platforms to optimize plant design and achieve seamless project execution.

“We are proud to partner with Total to drive towards the lowest possible plant emissions profile and attain the highest degree of sustainability in LNG production,” said Thorbjoern Fors, CEO for Siemens Energy Oil & Gas Division.
