LNG Terminal in Swinoujscie: very important and very beautiful!
LNG Terminal in Swinoujscie is one of the biggest strategic investments
in Poland that took place over the course of last decade. It is not only one of
the most important constructions for the Polish power sector but, most likely,
also “the coolest”. Instagram account (PolskieLNG) of the terminal is full of
really beautiful pictures that not only show the size, complexity and progress
of the construction but also its magnificence and beauty.
In the first stage of the operation
of the LNG terminal, it will be possible to receive 5 billion cubic meters of
natural gas annually. In the next stage, depending on the growing demand of
gas, it will be possible to increase export capacity to 7.5 billion m3, without
expanding the area of the terminal. The LNG terminal has two tanks of a storage
capacity of 160 thousand cubic meters each.
Construction: overview
Unloading
Unloading of gas will take place
using four so-called “arms” ( on the
photo), each of 20-meters height.
Tanks
LNG tank has a height of 52, 5 m.
Although it is huge, the lighthouse of Swinoujscie is still the highest object
in the area, topping it by 12 meters.
Breakwater structure
Breakwater is a structure built for protecting a beach
or harbor, so does the one around the terminal. It is3km long and its constructure
consumed 2 million tons of material, 6 thousand tons of steel and 80 thousand
cubic meters of concrete. It is the longest breakwater in Europe.
Flare Stack
Flare stacks are
primarily used for burning off flammable gas released by pressure relief valves during
unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment.
Regasification
Before natural gas will go to the
compressor, (and then follow the process of further delivery) it will be a
subject to regasification. On the pictures, there are regasification cabins.
