Babcock’s LGE business, the world leader in liquefied gas solutions, has received Approval in Principle (AiP) from Classification Society Lloyd’s Register for its ammonia release recovery system – ecoVARSTM.
The AiP was awarded to LGE business during Gastech 2024 in Houston.
ecoVARSTM can be seamlessly integrated with ecoFGSS-FLEX – LGE’s ammonia fuel gas supply system – and the cargo handling system, to allow up to 90% recovery of ammonia releases to return back to the fuel storage tank. This provides great safety, plus economic and environmental benefits.
ecoFGSS-FLEX is based on Babcock’s well-established (45 systems currently on order and/or in service) ecoFGSS LPG fuel gas system which, when combined with ecoVARSTM, provides the marine industry with a low-risk and safety focused solution for using ammonia as a fuel.
