New improved profiles design The new profile is stiffer, therefore less metal is required The new profile has backing integrated for the FSW process, thereby making the FSW process more efficinet
Tank bottom
Both the above elements make the new design more cost efficient

Self carrying structure does not need to be produced on shipyard or on site, less vulnerable for impacts on ships hull than membrane tanks Double barrier tank environmental compliance, real time tightness evidence Prismatic tanks more efficient use of the hull space, lower centre of gravity compared with spherical tanks, enable flush main deck design for FPSO top side modules. Marine operation at all filling levels: fit for offshore loading / unloading - inner structures destroy sloshing waves Cost effective production based on extruded profiles Panel fabrication using Friction Stir Welding high productivity and material properties compared with traditional welding Shorter production time High strength cryogenic material Flexible Selection of tank size Can be built as a pressure vessel for tank sizes up to about 20 000 m3

Pressure vessels for distribution of LNG and ship LNG fuel tanks
ADBT pressure vessels are a cost effective design. The pressure vessel can be constructed in a yard and transported to its final location. The double wall structure and the tension stays provide a very rigid structure. May be skidded, trailed or lifted. High resistance to dynamic loads
ship motions or earthquake loading for land tanks

The tank can be placed on deck or in the hull and can be shaped to fit the available space.
The Cold Box and associated piping will be subcontracted to experienced vendors.

The figure shows an ADBT tank with a boil off of 0.2 % per day. Filling temperature of LNG is: 157C The level increases due to the LNG density decreases when the temperature increases

Double barrier.
If one barrier leaks the load can be removed and the tank repaired before recommissioning
Tension stays capable of redistributing load.
If one tension stay fails the load can be removed and the tension stay be replaced.

Jointly being built by Aker Solutions and Gasnor Being installed at Gasnors Snurrevarden LNG facility (West Norway).
The tank will be operational in September 2011
Gasnor want to test out a small prototype of the ADBT tank before they plan to order their first commercial tank AET want in addition to have a demonstration tank to show potential customers for the different applications of the ADBT tank

New environment requirements will drive change of fuel or heavy modifications of ships Numbers of ships: Baltic Sea: 10 000 ships within 5 years (forerunner) North Sea: Similar (around 10 000) US: anticipate 15 000 ships, likely to come . And the rest Japan, SEA, Australia are big potential markets Options for old ships Convert to clean diesel Install scrubber Convert to LNG Find another area of operation Newbuilds Will select most efficient LNG will take significant part DNV: Single most important message from CEO: LNG for Ships! Requires also infrastructure to be built Coastal LNG carriers Distribution terminals Conclusion: LNG Fuel tank and small scale distribution market is significant

Tank
In existing ship installations LNG is stored in cylindrical, double-wall, insulated stainless steel tanks.
Cold box
TGE (Tractebel) is selling single shell cylindrical LNG tanks with drip
trays. This tank is mainly used in small LNG vessels/coasters, but is used onshore as well.

The ADBT tank can be formed according to the ship structure and allows full utilization of ship hull Cylindrical tanks utilize the hull space much less efficient
Distribution tanks: Prismatic vs. cylindrical pressure tanks
The prismatic ADBT distribution tank gives better utilization of congested harbor areas compared to cylindrical tanks for LNG distribution terminals A pressure tank is easier to operate and gives more flexibility An atmospheric tank does not fit into the small tank market (so far down in the LNG chain)
Our main competitors on the small pressure tank market, LNG distribution and
ship fuel, is the vacuum insulated and single shell cylindrical tanks. ADBT is the first prismatic pressure tank for LNG storage on the market

ADBT is a cost efficient design for different LNG storage applications Effective sloshing suppression by ADBT Can handle any filling level for dynamic conditions Efficient utilization of ship hull Flat upper deck; space for topside process equipment All parts of the tank is accessible for offshore repairs Very high safety rating! Tightness and atmosphere controlled inter-barrier space Cost and time savings compared to other LNG containment systems and pressure vessels
