Siemens Provides Hypochlorination Systems for LNG Ships

June 27, 2007

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has awarded Siemens Water Technologies an order for 14 Electrocatalytic Chloropac sodium hypochlorite generating systems. SHI, in turn, will install the systems on separate liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for three petrochemical companies. The Chloropac systems from Siemens will help prevent marine growth in the main components of the LNG carriers’ seawater cooling systems, including sea chests, piping, coolers, and heat exchangers. The first system was delivered to SHI in May, with subsequent deliveries scheduled throughout 2007 and 2008.
