Babcock has been contracted to supply its ground-breaking ecoSMRT® LNG reliquefaction technology, the result of a joint-development project between HHI and Babcock, to four recently ordered LNG carriers being built at Hyundai Heavy Industries’ Ulsan and Samho shipyards in South Korea.
The proprietary technology ecoSMRT® enables LNG carriers to operate at the cutting edge of efficiency with greater reliquefaction capacity and significantly reduced power consumption – at a lower cost – than competing mixed refrigerant or nitrogen expansion systems.
The specialist technology provider within the marine and onshore liquefied gas markets, Babcock LGE is celebrating 50 years providing unrivalled engineering, procurement and operational support services to the liquefied gas and petrochemical industries across a significant stream of business activities.
