Shell Prelude Floating LNG

2012-10-08T23:17:00.001-07:00

Shell Prelude FLNG - an overview

Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) is a revolutionary technology that will allow Shell to access offshore gas fields that would otherwise be too costly or difficult to develop. Prelude FLNG (100% Shell) is the world’s first FLNG development.

Key facts

Location:	Browse Basin, Australia
Depth:	~250 metres
Category:	Floating liquefied natural gas
Interest:	Shell 100%
Fields:	Prelude and potentially other Shell natural gas assets in the region
FLNG facility production capacity:	At least 5.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquids: 3.6 mtpa of LNG, 1.3 mtpa of condensate and 0.4 mtpa of LPG
Key contractors:	Technip/Samsung Heavy Industries consortium

Current developments

Shell took final investment decision on the Prelude FLNG Project on 20 May, 2011. It will start building a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility to produce and export LNG off the coast of Australia at the site of the gas field.
Over 1.6 million man hours were worked for the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) phase of development for the Prelude FLNG Project.
Once operational, the Prelude FLNG facility will produce at least 5.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquids: 3.6 mtpa of LNG, 1.3 mtpa of condensate (equivalent to 35,000 bbl/d) and 0.4 mtpa of LPG.
Shell has moved the Prelude FLNG project forward at a rapid pace, with first production of LNG expected some ten years after the gas was discovered. Shell discovered the Prelude gas field in 2007.

Technology

The floating facility will chill natural gas produced at the field to –162°C, shrinking its volume by 600 times so it can be shipped to customers in other parts of the world. Ocean-going carriers will load the LNG as well as other liquid by-products (condensate and LPG) for delivery to market.
The Prelude FLNG facility will be 488m long, 74m wide and will displace around 600,000 tonnes of water. It will be the largest floating offshore facility in the world.
The Prelude FLNG facility will be built at Samsung Heavy Industries’ Geoje Island ship yards in South Korea. The Samsung ship yard is one of the few yards in the world big enough to construct a facility of this size.
Once constructed, the facility will be towed to its location, approximately 475 kilometres north-northeast of Broome, Western Australia. The facility will be moored and hooked up to the undersea infrastructure and the whole production system commissioned.
The Prelude FLNG facility has been designed to withstand the most powerful tropical cyclones. It will remain permanently moored at the location for around 25 years before needing to dock for inspection and overhaul.
The LNG, LPG and condensate produced will be stored in tanks in the hull of the facility. LNG and LPG carriers will moor alongside to offload the products.

Markets

The Prelude FLNG Project is well placed to help meet the growing natural gas demand of Asia.

Environment & society

The project will create around 350 direct and many more indirect jobs. It will also provide taxes and revenue to Australia, create opportunities for local businesses and result in Shell spending billions in capital and operating expenditure.
The Australian Government gave the Prelude FLNG Project environmental approval - opens in new window on November 12, 2010.
The Prelude FLNG Project will use significantly less materials, land and seabed area than developing the same gas via a similar onshore facility.
Developing the gas at the location of the gas field will reduce impact on sensitive coastal habitats as FLNG avoids the need for shoreline pipe crossings, dredging and jetty works. Product carriers will be far from coastal reefs or whale migration routes.

Scania K 420 6x2 double decker bus Sani Express

2011-06-08T01:01:00.000-07:00

Sani Express using Scania K 420 6x2 busses for all its fleet.

Below are taken from SANI Express Website

Bus Specification here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do we choose double decker bus?

(A) Scania Engine And Chasis

By Using SCANIA Engine & Chasis, it has been proven a Hi-Tecnology System with Real passenger comfort and safety, Brakes and Safety assurance in terms of disc brake on front and rear axles, full air brakes with independent circuits for front, rear & parking circuits, with following as standard :

Electronic Stability Control (ESP)
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Traction Control (TC)
Automatic Brake Slack Adjuster interlock Valve with Parking Brake
Asbestos - free lining

SCANIA Engine has equipped with Cruise Control, engine oil cyclone cleaner, fuel water separator and air-intake pre-cleaner which enable the buses to have a better drivability
SCANIA also provide professional contract maintenance with us as they will ensure the maintenance of every Sani Express buses are in an excellent Condition.

(B) Speed Limiter

SCANIA Engine has an Engine Control Unit (ECU) where its function as to control bus speeding and lock the speed limit on each of the buses . Our Bus speed limiter has been locked at 90km/h which the driver could not speed the bus beyond the limit.

Equipped GPS System for all Sani Express Bus

What is GPS ?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

GPS FUNCTION

Our GPS System will be monitored daily by our Safety Department
Our Safety Officer will check the Systems on every morning at GPS records for yesterday bus movement, regarding bus speeding, Harsh Breaking, Harsh Acceleration, Bus Location and any others bus violation.
In a case of any delinquency, the driver will be call for inquiry by our Safety & Operation Department. If found guilty, the driver will be given counselling and awareness and or any others further action.

Mitsubishi Fuso AR470 Bus Scale Model

2011-06-08T00:39:00.000-07:00

This Mitsubishi Fuso AR470 recently sold on YJA for over ¥1.5 million, or $17,742 or RM53,300.

You could buy a lot of real cars with that kind of coin, but this is no ordinary model. It was likely produced by Mitsubishi for display at a car show or in an HQ building’s lobby. The real-life AR470 bus was powered by a DB34, Japan’s first turbocharged diesel engine and incorporated a much-lauded air suspension for easy boarding.

Made of steel and brass, it’s a pretty accurate representation of the actual vehicle with working doors, suspension and lights. In total, it’s nearly 3½ feet long and weighs nearly 44 pounds!

Peek inside its folding doors and it’s like stepping into the Showa era all over again. Can you hear the tap of your shoes on that green checkerboard floor? Smell the warm vinyl seats? See the flickering of the fluorescent lights?

Japan’s car culture runs so deep there are even Japanese nostalgic bus maniacs to appreciate this kind of machinery. Clearly this bus isn’t MIB, yet it still fetches 17-large despite some damage. According to the seller the model was discovered at an estate sale, probably that of a former 1960s Mitsubishi employee.

Grove telescopic tower crane erecting wind mill in Germany.

First the outriggers are lifted into place:

Next the hook block is 'reeved.'

Now the superstructure is raised, using a second mobile crane:

...and now it's been finally lowered into place:

Up goes the mast, with a little bit of help from some hefty hydraulic rams:

...and locks into the vertical - looks like they've buried the outriggers too!

Next the pendant supports are lifted into place

Now the crane's mast is telescoped upwards, stretching the 'guy-ropes'

With the pendants tensioned the crane is now finally ready to go to work!

The contract was completed with five lifts, the first three being the tower mast sections that weighed 62 tonnes, 53 tonnes and 45 tonnes respectively. Here, the second tower section weighing 53 tonnes is lifted into place

Now the top section weighing 45 tonnes is located into position...

The nacelle was next, weighing 70 tonnes followed by the preassembled three-bladed propeller module. Each blade weighs 8 tonnes, with the assembled module being 42 tonnes.
The 70-tonne nacelle, the heaviest single load, is finally placed onto the 70-metre mast:

Here we can see the Grove GTK 1100 lifting one of the eight-tonne blades in tandem with a mobile crane, assembling the propeller module on the ground. Now click through here to see the final finishing touches as the blade and hub assembly weighing 42 tonnes is at last lifted into place.
