Three waste heat recovery units engineered by Techouse are on their way to an FPSO offshore West Africa.
Techouse has successfully completed the delivery of three waste heat recovery units (WHRUs) which will be installed on board an undisclosed FPSO that will operate offshore West Africa.
Energy recovery represents a large and untapped energy source as recapturing energy and putting it to use, for example through WHRUs, reducing both fuel consumption and emissions. For this project, the three WHRUs will recover heat from gas turbines by heating up water in order to supply energy to other process heat requirements on board the FPSO.
Each WHRU includes Techouse’s proprietary louver dampers, which regulate the exhaust gas flow to the heat exchanger depending on the heat demand. Each WHRU weighs in at just below 100 tons.
Project management, engineering and procurement was conducted by Techouse’s team in Oslo, Norway. Fabrication and assembly of the WHRUs was conducted by our partner Alpha ECC in Vung Tau City, Vietnam, with site inspections conducted by the local Techouse office.
“We at Techouse draw on decades of experience in delivering tailor-made WHRUs worldwide. We excel at problem-solving and engineering, especially within the field of thermal concepts. This WHRU delivery also includes Techouse engineered louver dampers. By owning the design for the complete delivery, we reduce risk of project delay and improve quality. But most importantly are the people within the project team that successfully executed this exciting project.”
