As the maritime industry transitions towards cleaner bunker fuels, the demand for LNG as a marine fuel is rising. Measuring the energy content during bunkering is challenging not only for the handling of cryogenic fluids but also accounting for the varying composition from different sources and the aging affects quality, too. Endress+Hauser has developed an industry-leading LNG bunkering solution to provide for the most accurate, efficient, and safe real-time metering of LNG transfers.
Endress+Hauser's LNG bunkering solution is the first one to provide real-time metering and composition analysis. This enables reliable measurement of the quality of the cargo transferred leading to unprecedented precision in LNG energy measurement. This is essential for maintaining safe and efficient bunkering operation, whether onshore or offshore, and for bunker vessels of all types – from ships to barges.
LNG bunkering is the process of providing liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel to a ship for its own consumption by using the same line that is used for loading LNG from the terminal.
The Coriolis flowmeter Proline Promass Q is at the heart of our solution and designed for accurate measurement of cryogenic liquids like LNG, providing outstanding accuracy for LNG bunker deliveries.
The Raman Rxn-41 probe enables direct insertion for real-time composition measurement of LNG.
Based on the composition, temperature, pressure and flow measurement, our LNG bunkering solution calculates the methane number and total energy transferred.
Endress+Hauser is committed to supporting the maritime energy transition by providing state-of-the-art LNG bunkering solutions, helping you to move away from maintenance-intensive measuring systems based on gas chromatography. Whether you operate at dedicated bunkering terminals or perform ship-to-ship transfers, our solutions integrate seamlessly with your infrastructure, ensuring reliable and consistent measurement of LNG mass, energy, and composition as well as boil-off-gas (BOG).
Benefit from highest accuracy when measuring LNG quantities thanks to highly accurate and direct mass measurement with Coriolis flowmeters, eliminating the need for complex tank gauging calculations while ensuring reliable and transparent bunkering
Monitor LNG composition in real time with patented Raman technology and a fully integrated control system with energy calculations, allowing for precise measurement of energy content, impurity detection, and compliance with international standards
Reduce overall operating costs thanks to low-maintenance measuring instrumentation
Ensure efficient space management onboard the barge while complying with emissions reduction regulations – all thanks to the space-saving installation with a smaller overall footprint compared to conventional systems using gas chromatographs
