INOXCVA commissions UK’s first mini LNG facility

Indian multinational company INOXCVA has commissioned the United Kingdom’s first-ever multifunctional mini LNG terminal in Kyleakin, Scotland for MOWI Scotland.

MOWI is one of world’s leading seafood company and also the largest Atlantic salmon farmer in the world.

The project was developed by the cryogenic tech and equipment and solutions manufacturer under the supervision of energy consultancy and advisory firm Fuelgarden.

The terminal sets a benchmark in terms of safety and process design and will be considered as a future template for the type of mini LNG terminals in UK and across the globe.

The first of its kind terminal is designed according to EN1473, British standards for installation and equipment for liquefied natural gas, and approved by UK HSE and Highland Council as a COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) Regulations Upper Tier facility.

The design and modularized concept of this terminal enabled INOXCVA to implement the project with minimum site activity and time.

INOXCVA has manufactured and supplied the mini LNG terminal on a turnkey supply basis which includes two 1000 cubic meters vacuum insulated storage tanks, ship bunkering station, 300-meter vacuum jacketed piping, trailer loading station and vaporization system, suitable for natural gas consumption by fish feed factory.

The mini LNG terminal is capable to take LNG through small-scale vessels as well as by semi-trailer & IMO container.

All major critical equipment installed in the mini LNG terminal was designed and manufactured in INOXCVA’s manufacturing facility in India.
