Kobe Steel said that its intermediate fluid LNG vaporizers (IFVs) will be used in the regasification facility for the Delimara LNG regasification terminal under construction in Malta.
Kobe Steel will supply two IFVs, with each unit having a regasification capacity of 58 tonnes per hour. Kobe Steel said in a statement that plans to ship the IFVs in October 2015, the company said in a statement.
Electrogas Malta Limited will operate the large-scale LNG receiving terminal upon completion. J&P-AVAX is undertaking the engineering and construction of the receiving terminal. A floating storage unit (FSU), to be moored offshore, will supply the LNG to the land-based receiving terminal, where the regasification facility will vaporize the LNG into natural gas.
The natural gas will be supplied to the adjacent Delimara power station and the new combined cycle power plant to be build. Kobe Steel’s IFVs will be the main equipment installed at the regasification facility.
To increase the power generation capacity of the new combined cycle power plant, cold energy derived from LNG regasification of Kobe Steel’s IFVs will be used in order to cool the air to the gas turbines.
