LNG: Markt setzt auf Rohre von BUTTING

Das LNG-Beschleunigungsgesetz der deutschen Bundesregierung soll den Aufbau der LNG-Infrastruktur vorantreiben. Zu den Projekten zählen sowohl Terminals an Land als auch schwimmende Terminals (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit = FSRU). Für diverse solcher FSRU hat BUTTING bereits korrosionsbeständige Rohre in den Werkstoffen 1.4462 / UNS S31803 (Duplex), 1.4410 / UNS S32750 (Superduplex) und TP 316L geliefert.

Das Flüssiggasterminal in Wilhelmshaven ist seit Dezember 2022 in Betrieb und in Deutschland die erste fertiggestellte Anlage dieser Art. BUTTING hat hierfür Duplex-Rohre des Werkstoffs 1.4462 / UNS S31803 mit den Abmessungen 16“ 40s gemäß EN10217-7 TC2 AD2000 W2 und VdTÜV418 geliefert. Die Bauzeit des Terminals betrug lediglich 6 Monate – ein straffer Zeitplan für die Realisierung des Projektes und somit auch ein enges Zeitfenster für die Lieferung der Rohre. Hier konnte BUTTING auf das eigene Rohrlager zurückgreifen, in dem ungefähr 5 000 t Rohre in 15 verschiedenen Werkstoffen bevorratet werden. Es bietet den Kunden ein breites Produktspektrum mit kurzen Lieferzeiten, flexiblen Mengen und die zusätzliche Möglichkeit der Weiterverarbeitung von Lagerrohren. Somit konnte das Bauprojekt in Wilhelmshaven innerhalb kürzester Zeit beliefert werden. Ein weiteres LNG-Terminal entsteht in Brunsbüttel. Auch hier hat BUTTING aus dem bestehenden Rohrlager 400 Meter längsnahtgeschweißte Rohre des Werkstoffs TP316L mit den Abmessungen 10“ 40s gemäß ASTM A358 Cl1 geliefert. 

Michael Fürstenberg, Senior Sales Manager Geschweißte Edelstahlrohre: „Bereits in der Vergangenheit hat BUTTING für viele internationale Projekte aus dem LNG-Bereich Rohre geliefert. Dazu zählen sowohl Exportterminals (z. B. in den USA), FLNG sowie LNG-Tanker als auch LNG-Importterminals (z. B. in den Niederlanden und Frankreich). Wir freuen uns, dass wir den Weg der Bundesregierung bei der Erschließung neuer Energiequellen begleiten können – für mehr Nachhaltigkeit und Lebensqualität.

BUTTING – more than pipes – for a better quality of life
