TYPE C TANKER C30 INSTALLATION With port authorities, regulators, and owners demanding low-emission, clean-and-green ships, today’s boat builders are on track to offer more environmentally friendly vessels. Emissions are a forefront issue for the marine sector, with ports around the world instituting strict emissions requirements. Capstone is diving into the marine industry, helping to navigate the stringent regulations while enabling entrepreneurs to spawn green ship innovations. This year, two C30 liquid natural gas (LNG) Capstone microturbines will be installed on a 110 meter (330 foot) Type C Tanker for inland shipping. This innovative project, conceived by an entrepreneurial shipper, is the first of its kind for a Type C Tanker. The microturbines will operate in an N+1 setting and serve as the main power supply onboard. Heat from the microturbines’ exhaust will be used in an LNG vaporizer to provide fuel to the microturbines and main propulsion engines. The clean-and-green microturbines, which will be certified by Lloyds Register of Shipping, can meet strict emission regulations without additional exhaust aftertreatment, which means reduced service requirements, maintenance, and costs. The customer selected low-emission Capstone microturbines for this pioneering vessel since they, when compared to traditional diesel engines, reduce CO2 emissions by 15 percent, NOx by 50 percent, and particulate matters by as much as 80 percent. Additionally, the microturbines are extremely reliable, require little maintenance when compared to traditional diesel generators, and easily can integrate with current onboard equipment. The microturbines also ensure onboard comfort since there is no vibration and very low noise. This year, two Capstone C30 LNG microturbines will be installed on a Type C tanker for inland shipping. The vessel measures an astounding 110 meters (330 feet). MOBILE PRODUCTS With a C30 or C65 microturbine onboard, the range of a typical HEV vehicle – from 40 – 80 miles on a single battery charge – can extend up to 500 miles. Microturbines recharge the battery systems of buses, cars, trucks, yachts, and cargo ships “on the fly,” saving time and reducing emissions without any exhaust aftertreatment. Low maintenance microturbine systems offer limited vibration, low noise, and cleaner operation than traditional combustion engines, ensuring comfortable and hassle-free travel.PDF Image | 2011 Annual Report Capstone Turbine Corporation
