Interview of automation , electrification and digital solutions to address these issues and help customers maximize the uptime of LNG trains .
That said , the technical challenges are far outweighed by the benefits : specifically , increased efficiency and uptime , with reduced emissions .
Replacing the gas turbine , which operates at around 38 percent efficiency , with a motor that achieves approximately 95 percent efficiency is a significant improvement which has a real impact on energy and emissions . Additionally , the motor can be powered by renewable energy and is not affected by temperature fluctuations . Motors are easier to maintain , reducing maintenance cycles by up to ten days per year , allowing for ten additional days of LNG production . Furthermore , an eLNG facility can recycle the boil-off gas , which would previously have been used to power turbines , to produce more LNG , increasing production by up to four percent .
What steps need to be taken to mitigate supply chain issues , focusing specifically on improving lead times and reducing cost overruns ? Modularization is an effective strategy for managing supply chains , particularly when it comes to improving lead times and reducing cost overruns . We are currently deploying this strategy on several LNG projects , including Shell ’ s Canada LNG project which is in the commissioning phase and will utilize our modularized electrical systems , as well as Rio Grande which is just beginning construction with our fully integrated automation , electrical and digital systems . energy-oil-gas . com 11
