Tanks and Terminals,
Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, part of technology group Wärtsilä, will supply reliquefaction systems for retrofit installation onboard floating storage regasification units (FSRUs) owned by Excelerate Energy. The retrofit project will improve the environmental footprint of Excelerate Energy’s FSRU operations. The order is expected to be booked by Wärtsilä latest in Q424.
The system to be delivered is Wärtsilä Gas Solutions’ Compact Reliq Double units, which is based on the reversed Brayton cycle technology. It is designed to reliquefy boil-off gas and return it back to the cargo tanks, thus eliminating emissions and saving cargo at the same time. The system is also fitted with the latest technology and applications to minimise maintenance and operational costs for the operator.
David Liner, COO at Excelerate Energy, said: “We are committed to reducing the environmental footprint in all our operations, and this project is a substantial part of that commitment. We are very pleased to partner up with Wärtsilä Gas Solutions for this project”.
Delivery of the Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled to begin in early 2026.
