LNG / LPG Terminals
LNG Terminals
Canaf Energy's floating transfer systems open up new market opportunities and with several different types of terminal configurations available, we are able to offer you the experience and industry know-how to secure the most competitive solution.
Onshore land terminals and marine regasification plants are being installed in many locations throughout the world, wherever there is a need for import of export of natural gas. jettyless LNG transfer systems offers a universal and flexible solution for transfer of LNG from onshore terminals or floating alternatives such as FSU, FSRB or FSRU.
We enable a more sustainable energy value chain by offering cost effective solutions for quick deployment, thus growing a greener energy infrastructure.
Onshore LNG Terminal
- By far the most common terminal configuration. Comprises berthing facilities, onshore storage tanks, regasification and gas distribution into the domestic network.
- Typically has higher CAPEX when compared to offshore marine terminals.
- The IQuay can accommodate large and small-scale LNG import and export.
- The same floating transfer philosophy can be applied to the import, export and storage of hydrogen, ammonia, Co₂ and other fluids.
Floating Storage Unit (FSU)
- Often the most economical of terminal configurations for small-scale LNG applications. Idle LNGCs can be converted to FSU’s, thus investment costs are lower.
- Good solution for sites with limited real estate and ideal solution for partial loading of shuttle tankers offshore.
- LNG is transferred from the FSU back to shore via the IQuay’s floating cryogenic hoses.
- FSU has excellent fast-track synergies with the IQuay for both LNG import and export.
Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU)
- LNG is regasified topside and High Pressure gas is sent directly into the pipeline.
- An FSRU is a good flexible option if distance from shore is too long, marine environment too hostile, but with good gas pipeline availability.
- Most FSRU’s are moored at shore.
- Offer less flexibility than Onshore terminals which can deliver import and export services.
- Canaf’s solution for transfer of high pressure gas, eliminates fixed infrastructure and is a cheaper alternative should FSRU be re-deployed.
Safe loading and unloading from ship to shore
The advantage of going floating is a game-changer:
- Low and predictable CAPEX and OPEX.
- Easy permitting and minimum impact.
- Scalable in terms of flow rate capacity.
- Accommodates any carrier vessel.
- Short lead time, fast installation.
- Allows relocation and redeployment.
The IQuay's floating transfer solution eliminates the need for jetties and quays, can be built and installed in five to ten months, and can also be relocated.
