據(jù)7月24日離岸能源網(wǎng)站報(bào)道稱，澳大利亞氫氣運(yùn)輸企業(yè)Provaris Energy已經(jīng)啟動(dòng)了一個(gè)原型罐測(cè)試項(xiàng)目，作為其氫載體和儲(chǔ)存解決方案獲得最終類別批準(zhǔn)的又一進(jìn)步。

為此，Provaris挪威子公司已聘請(qǐng)Prodtex AS為其專有的壓縮氣態(tài)氫載體H2NEO和浮式存儲(chǔ)解決方案H2Leo建造并測(cè)試原型氫罐。

與Prodtex簽訂的合同涉及一項(xiàng)全面的計(jì)劃，包括詳細(xì)的生產(chǎn)設(shè)計(jì)、多層焊接鋼板的金屬疲勞測(cè)試以及原型儲(chǔ)罐的建造和嚴(yán)格測(cè)試。其目標(biāo)是在2024年第一季度內(nèi)完成原型測(cè)試，最終獲得船級(jí)社DNV和ABS的最終船級(jí)批準(zhǔn)。

與此同時(shí)，兩家公司達(dá)成了一項(xiàng)技術(shù)合作協(xié)議，共同開發(fā)一條先進(jìn)的全自動(dòng)生產(chǎn)線，用于建造壓縮氫密封罐。與其他現(xiàn)有市場(chǎng)解決方案相比，自動(dòng)化生產(chǎn)線有望提供顯著的成本優(yōu)勢(shì)。

該合同的成功完成預(yù)計(jì)將有助于對(duì)一條新的生產(chǎn)線做出投資決定，該生產(chǎn)線能夠?yàn)槠洹癏2Neo Carrier”和“H2Leo floating hydrogen”生產(chǎn)儲(chǔ)罐。

這些公司還積極與挪威政府機(jī)構(gòu)合作，以確保為早期生產(chǎn)線提供資金。該儲(chǔ)罐生產(chǎn)設(shè)施計(jì)劃于2025年年中開始運(yùn)營，為H2Neo運(yùn)輸船和H2Leo儲(chǔ)罐提供氫貨罐，這對(duì)已宣布的氫出口項(xiàng)目合作至關(guān)重要。

除了用于H2Neo運(yùn)輸和H2Leo儲(chǔ)存解決方案的儲(chǔ)罐外，Provaris表示，它還持續(xù)收到有關(guān)將其壓縮氫儲(chǔ)罐設(shè)計(jì)用于陸上存儲(chǔ)解決方案的咨詢。

Provaris taps Prodtex to build and test prototype tank for its compressed hydrogen carrier

Provaris Energy has initiated a prototype tank testing program as a further step toward obtaining final Class Approval required for its hydrogen carrier and storage solutions.

To this end, Provaris’ Norwegian subsidiary has hired Prodtex AS to construct and test a prototype hydrogen tank for its proprietary compressed gaseous hydrogen carrier, H2NEO, and the floating storage solution, H2Leo.

The contract with Prodtex involves a comprehensive program with detailed production design, fatigue tests of multilayered welded steel plates, and construction and rigorous testing of the prototype tanks. It targets the completion of prototype testing within Q1 2024, ultimately leading to the attainment of final Class Approvals from classification societies DNV and ABS.

Simultaneously, the two companies have forged a technology collaboration agreement to jointly develop an advanced, fully automated production line for constructing compressed hydrogen containment tanks. The automated production line is expected to offer significant cost advantages compared to other existing market solutions.

The successful completion of the prototype contract is expected to enable an investment decision on a new full-scale production line capable of producing tanks for its’ H2Neo Carrier and H2Leo floating hydrogen.

The companies are also actively engaged with Norwegian government agencies to secure funding for the initial production line. The tank production facility aims to commence operations in mid-2025, providing hydrogen cargo tanks for the initial fleet of H2Neo carriers and H2Leo storage units essential for announced collaborations for hydrogen export projects.

In addition to tanks for the H2Neo shipping and H2Leo storage solutions, Provaris said it continues to receive enquiries about the use of its compressed hydrogen tank designs for onshore storage solutions.
