As part of the contract, MAN will deliver a tailor-made installation, including offloading skid for LNG trailers, vertically standing 200 cbm vacuum-insulated tank and vaporiser unit.

“We see a growing market for small scale LNG solutions for both captive and grid connected applications,” said Carsten Dommermuth, senior manager, international business development at MAN Energy Solutions.

“We’re currently commissioning a similar project, where MAN Energy Solutions has provided highly efficient gas and dual fuel engines for a new power plant to secure the future energy supply in Gibraltar.”

Aftermarket support

The installation will be located besides Forchem’s plant, enabling it to receive deliveries of LNG and LBG via tank-truck deliveries.

It is designed specifically for Forchem’s requirements taking into consideration local climate conditions, minimum maintenance requirements and the need for a long lifetime.

Forchem is an innovative company producing chemical and Animal feed products from tall oil, has chosen to convert the boiler for generating steam for the refinery processin to natural gas/ bio-gas.

The Finnish company, Wega Group, assisted Forchem with the procurement of the LNG regasification terminal. Wega is an independent energy company specialising in smart-energy sourcing.

Wega has experience from several LNG projects and said it sees a growing demand for LNG in industrial applications, shipping and road transport in Finland.
