bunkering SOlutions
Onshore bunkering terminal
The onshore bunkering terminal is a good solution for locations within industrial zones or harbors, with available land area to facilitate a land terminal.
The onshore-based bunkering solution allows for direct ship bunkering alongside the quay, or transfer to a bunkering barge. Larger versions of the system can also function as bunkering storage terminals, serving a fleet of bunkering vessels. The system is capable of receiving ammonia from tank trucks and ships, in compressed, semi-refrigerated or fully refrigerated state.
Floating bunkering terminal
Our floating bunkering solutions are flexible and movable, and thus ideal for the early years of the shift to ammonia fuel, when the first vessels may have to bring their own fuelling station to their most common ports of call.
The stationary floating bunkering terminal offers an ideal solution for projects where available land space is limited or there is a high activity level on land. It will typically be moored or chained to quay and may function as an extension of quay, thus reducing need for quay investments. No ammonia land infrastructure is needed and since it is floating it can be relocated or replaced if the terminal is no longer needed or if larger capacities are required.
bunker vessel
The Azane self-propelled bunkering barge (bunker vessel) presents a good solution for end users or locations with restricted land space, large bunkering volumes, and a need for operational flexibility. Bunkering and loading will be done ship to ship either mid sea at anchorage or alongside when receiving vessel is at quay, removing need of going to dedicated bunkering quays. It is thus an ideal solution for vessels requiring the large volume pr bunkering and for applications where bunkering at dedicated quays are challenging.
FLEXIBLE STORAGE OPTIMISED FOR SAFETY.
- Refrigerated storage to minimise safety risk in the event of an ammonia leakage/release
- Refrigerated ammonia offers the highest degree of flexibility with regards to bunkering to vessels with different storage conditions.
NH3 DELIVERY TO TERMINAL FROM ALL SOURCES.
- Truck/Container delivery for our stationary terminals (typically ambient up to 8 barg)
- Vessel delivery ( typically refrigerated ammonia)
- Vapor management system (azaFLEX®) separates impurities and ensures product is kept according to fuel spec.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE DESIGN.
- Storage system and condition of stored ammonia optimised for minimal dispersion
- Transfer system design that minimises human error during offloading/bunkering
- Emergency & Safety philosophy based on decades of LNG bunkering experience and ammonia handling from other applications.
INNOVATIVE BOG HANDLING SYSTEM.
- Decreased energy density relative to carbon fuels requires faster transfer.
- Vapor return and our vapor management system (azaFLEX®) ensures efficient transfer to all fuel tank types without increasing system complexity & cost.
MODULAR & SCALABLE.
- Engineering cost reduced with modular design
- Using same ammonia handling solutions and equipment for our different bunkering solutions
RELIABLE & AVAILABLE.
- Redundancy and spare philosophy optimised for availability and cost
Related services
Our main offering are turn-key deliveries, but we also offer a stepwise service from feasibility study, via engineering & approvals, to construction, installation, T&C and finally start of operations, or alternatively – those services offered separately. For terminals in operation, we offer a wide range of service contracts from full operational execution, to maintenance, condition monitoring and periodical control.
AZANE FUEL SOLUTIONS can provide the following services related to our bunkering solutions:
- Concept and feasibility studies to make an early assessment of feasibility, necessary capacities, and concept selection.
- Location development, concept design & pre-project work including assessment of ammonia fuel logistics and site-specific engineering. This can also include:
- Establishing basis of design.
- Operations preparations and training for terminal owners and operators.
- Organizing relevant safety work such as HAZIDs, HAZOPs and other safety and risk studies.
- Permitting processes including applications and dialogue with relevant authorities and other 3rd parties.
- Full project management responsibility from pre-project to project execution and delivery.
