Decades of Proven Engineering Expertise
Using 20+ years of global project experience and advanced modeling, we design solutions that optimize operations, minimize boil-off loss, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Operation Analysis
With its extensive database of installed Gas Transfer Operations equipment worldwide, Trelleborg MI is in a unique position in the market to observe and understand the trends and issues affecting safety and efficiency of operations eg. bottlenecks. This knowledge can be applied to assess and analyse operations for both receivers and suppliers and developed into new operational procedures proven to significantly improve and optimise outcomes.
Compatibility Planning
It is essential for both suppliers and receivers to eliminate or minimise uncertainty in their operations, with one of the biggest uncertainties being interface compatibility. Trelleborg MI has the industry’s largest database of equipment installed on LNG fuelled vessels. Through a unique on-line tool suppliers and receivers can access real time information on whether a vessel is compatible with a specific terminal and if not, any adjustments that need to be made. Compatibility planning is critical in the drive to eliminate uncertainty.
Fluid Dynamics
Boil-off of gas during transfer operations is a significant issue leading to unnecessary loss of costly product and operational efficiency. Trelleborg MI has developed expertise through over 20 years of experience across 100s of operations to understand how to minimize boil-off. TMI’s deep understanding in the physics behind fluid dynamics eg. constrictions in the flow lines, pressure drops and cooling and warming of the system means flow behaviour can be predicted. TMI offers consultancy and flow simulation tools to help both at the pre-design and FEED stages to analysing current operations to ensure optimal pipe configuration, prevent surge pressure and hose collapses to minimize boil-off and optimize equipment requirements of system.
Mooring Analysis
Trelleborg MI’s Mooring Analysis is a modelling system used to simulate vessel motion to validate how its automated mooring systems can assist in reducing motions such as sway and surge and therefore extend the product loading envelope. With this information Trelleborg helps operators verify a mooring solution before investing. The fully integrated tool enables independent analysis, boosting safety, efficiency, and decision making in LNG and gas-transfer operations.
Design Optimization
Trelleborg Mi has deep knowledge and expertise established over decades to provide comprehensive design solutions for both receivers and suppliers in gas transfer operations. From initial concept (pre-FEED) consultation to ensure performance requirements are defined to complete Front End Enegineering Design/Functional Design Specification of the system and anything in-between. TMI think of everything: International Standards and codes, safety, equipment, operational processes, crew skills and training to ensure Gas Transfer operations are compliant, efficient and optimized.
Safety & Compliance
Trelleborg MI has worked in the highly regulated world of Gas Transfer Operations for decades and has a wealth of applications expertise, active participation in Industry bodies and project experience globally. Drawing on this TMI can ensure Gas Transfer operations adhere to the very latest standards and safety requirements wherever you are operating in the world covering crew, equipment, operational procedures and environmental with best practice advice and guidance.
