I-Equinor ne-Orlen seziqalile ukukhiqiza enkundleni i-Eirin enyakatho yeNyakatho yeNorway

Inkampani yaseNorway i-Equinor (enamasheya angu-58.7%) kanye neyasePoland i-Orlen Upstream Norway (enamasheya angu-41.3%) isiqale ukukhiqiza igesi yemvelo esivela enkundleni i-Eirin eseNorth Sea. Le nkundla itholakala cishe amakhilomitha angu-250 entshonalanga ye-Stavanger, emanzini ajula amamitha angu-120, inezinsiza ezilinganiselwa ku-27.6 million barrels of oil equivalent, ikakhulukazi igesi yemvelo. I-Eirin yatholwa ngo-1978 kodwa yashiywa ingathuthukisiwe ngenxa yokungabi nenzuzo. Ngo-2023, ukuphendula isidingo samandla esishintshayo eYurophu, abalingani bahlaziye kabusha le nkundla futhi bakha uhlelo lokuthuthukisa olusheshayo.

Insimu ye-Eirin iyathuthukiswa ngokuxhuma esikhungweni esikhona i-Gina Krog, ngegesi yemvelo ethunyelwa eYurophu nge-Sleipner A hub. Le phrojekthi inezimali ezikhokhelwe cishe i-NOK 4.5 billion (ama-USD 463 million) futhi izokwandisa impilo yezomnotho yesikhungo i-Gina Krog kusuka ngo-2029 kuya ku-2036. Isikhungo sase sisebenza ngogesi oluvela ebhange ngo-2023, cishe u-90% kagesi uvela emanzini kagesi kanye no-8% uvela emoyeni, okubangela ukukhishwa okuncane kwe-carbon kusuka ekukhiqizeni insimu — cishe u-3 kg we-CO₂ nge-barrel kawoyela ofanayo.

UNobhala Omkhulu kwa-Equinor, uLinda Kåda Høiland, uthe: “Ababambisene babone ithuba lokufaka isandla ekuvikelekeni kwamandla aseYurophu ngezikhathi ezinzima. Sibeke uhlelo oluqinile lokuthi sisheshe, sisebenze kahle ngokomnotho futhi siphephe, futhi sikwenzile lokho. I-Eirin izokwandisa ukukhiqizwa esiteshini se-Gina Krog ngeminyaka eyisikhombisa.” Ubuye wagcizelela ukuthi kuthathwe iminyaka emithathu kuphela kusukela kuqale iphrojekthi kuze kube kuqala ukukhiqizwa, ngenxa yezinqumo ezisebenza kahle nezixazululo ezijwayelekile.

U-Ireneusz Fąfara, uSihlalo weBhodi yabaPhathi ye-Orlen, ukhombise wathi: “Ukukhiqizwa kwesitshalo segesi emgqeni ongaphansi woLwandle lwaseNorway kubaluleke kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni ukuphepha kwamandla eYurophu nePoland, okwenza ubukhona be-Orlen besikhathi eside eNorway bubaluleke ngamasu. Ukuqala kokusebenza kwenkundla i-Eirin kuqinisa isikhundla sethu esifundeni.” Lapho kukhiqizwa kakhulu, i-Eirin izohlinzeka ngezigidi ezingu-270 zamamitha-cubic zegesi yemvelo ngonyaka ku-Orlen, okufana nezinsiza ze-Orlen ezingabuyiselwa ezingaba yizigidi ezingu-1.2 zamamitha-cubic. U-Wiesław Prugar, ilungu leBhodi yabaPhathi ye-Upstream e-Orlen, uthe ukuxhuma i-Eirin kuzokwandisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-Gina Krog ngamabhaleli angu-9.7 ezigidi ama-oil equivalent, lapho isabelo se-Orlen esingabuyiselwa khona singamabhaleli angu-4 ezigidi.

Ngemuva kokwelashwa, igesi yemvelo ithunyelwa endaweni yokungena yaseNybro bese idlula ku-Baltic Pipe iya ePoland. Ababambisene bahlela ukuqhubeka nokuhlola endaweni ye-Gina Krog Eirin ukuze bavule amathuba engeziwe.

Ukukhiqizwa kukaphethiloli negesi yemvelo akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kwemishini yokuhlukanisa.

I-Shanghai SAGA Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd., eyasungulwa e-Shanghai ngo-2016, iyibhizinisi lobuchwepheshe lesimanje elihlanganisa i-R&D, ukuklama, ukukhiqiza, kanye nenkonzo. Sizibophezele ekuthuthukiseni imishini yokuhlukanisa nokuhlunga yemboni kawoyela, igesi, kanye ne-petrochemical. Umkhiqizo wethu wokusebenza kahle kakhulu uhlanganisa ama-hydrocyclone okukhipha uwoyela/amanzi, ama-desander ezinhlayiya ezincane kakhulu, kanye namayunithi okuhlanganisa aqinile. Sinikeza izixazululo eziphelele ezifakwe ezindaweni eziqinile futhi sinikeza nokulungiswa kwemishini yenkampani yangaphandle kanye nezinsizakalo zangemuva kokuthengisa. Sibambe izimvume eziningi eziyimfihlo futhi sisebenza ngaphansi kwesistimu yokuphatha eqinisekiswe yi-DNV-GL ISO-9001, ISO-14001, kanye ne-ISO-45001, sinikeza izixazululo zenqubo ezithuthukisiwe, ukuklama komkhiqizo okunembayo, ukugcinwa ngokuqinile kwezicaciso zobunjiniyela, kanye nokwesekwa okuqhubekayo kokusebenza.

Izi-cyclone desanders ezisebenza kahle kakhulu, ezaziwa ngesilinganiso sazo esihle kakhulu sokuhlukanisa esingu-98%, zithole ukubuyekezwa okuvela kubaholi bamandla aphesheya kwezilwandle. Zakhiwe ngobuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu be-ceramics ekwazi ukumelana nokuguga, lezi zinhlelo zikwazi ukususa 98% wezinhlayiya ezincane njengama-0.5 microns emifudlaneni yegesi. Leli khono lenza ukuthi igesi ekhiqiziwe ingene kabusha ukuze isetshenziswe ekugcwaliseni okuxubile kumalungiselelo anomoya ophansi, isixazululo esibalulekile sokuthuthukisa ukubuyisa uwoyela kumalungiselelo anzima. Kungenjalo, zingakwazi ukwelapha amanzi akhiqiziwe, zikhiphe 98% wezinhlayiya ezinkulu kune-2 microns ukuze zingene kabusha ngqo, ngaleyo ndlela zithuthukise ukusebenza kahle kokugeleza kwamanzi ngenkathi kuncishiswa umthelela emvelweni.

Umkhiqizo wethu omusha—I-High Efficiency Ultra-Fine Particle Desanderiyidivayisi yokuhlukanisa uketshezi-okuqinile esebenzisa isimiso esisebenzayo se-centrifugal ukuhlukanisa izinto ezingcolile ezintantayo—njengezinto eziqinile emanzini akhiqiziwe, emanzini olwandle, ekuhlanganiseni, izinhlayiya ezinhle eketshezini elinamandla aphezulu, kanye nomlotha wokukatalisa ezimoyeni—kusuka eketshezini (uketshezi, igesi, noma ukuxubana koketshezi-gesi). Iyasusa kahle izinhlayiya eziqinile ezinosayizi abancane njengama-micron amabili (ngokusebenza okungu-98%) noma ngaphansi.

I-High Efficiency Ultra-Fine Particle Desanderinikeza ukusebenza okuphezulu kokususwa kwesihlabathi, ikwazi ukususa izinhlayiya eziqinile ezincane njengama-micron amabili. Le mishini inesikhala esincane, ayidingi amandla angaphandle noma izithako zamakhemikhali, futhi inomjikelezo wokuphila cishe iminyaka engu-20. Inikeza ikhono lokukhipha isihlabathi ngaphandle kokuvala ukukhiqiza.

Kufakazelwe emikhakheni emikhulu yomhlaba ephethwe yi-CNOOC, i-CNPC, i-Petronas, nabanye kulo lonke elaseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, ama-SAGA desanders afakwa kumapulatifomu ezingawozi kanye nawokukhiqiza. Ahlinzeka ngokususwa okuthembekile kwezinto eziqinile egazini, uketshezi lokukhiqiza, kanye ne-condensate, futhi abalulekile ekuhlanzweni kwamanzi olwandle, ekuvikelweni komjikelezo wokukhiqiza, kanye nezinhlelo zokujova/ukugcwalisa amanzi.

Ngaphandle kwama-desanders, i-SAGA inikeza iqoqo lobuchwepheshe bokuhlukanisa obunconywayo. Umugqa womkhiqizo wethu uhlanganisa izinhlelo zamagobolondo ukususwa kwe-CO₂ egazini lemvelo, ama-hydrocyclones okukhipha uwoyela, high-performance compact flotation units (CFUs), ukususwa kukashale wegesi, Iphakethe lokukhipha amanzi nge-cyclonic elokwelapha amanzi akhiqiziwe, futhi ama-hydrocyclones anezindlu eziningi, ahlinzeka ngezixazululo eziphelele izinselelo eziqinile zemboni.
