Latest Rolls-Royce UT design to use LNG fuel

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:06:11 +0000

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has announced that Island Offshore will further expand its fleet of Rolls-Royce UT776 platform supply vessels (PSV) with more of the same type, with one major difference – the newly ordered vessels will use LNG for fuel. These vessels will be the first LNG powered UT vessels designed and powered by Rolls-Royce. The latest order by Island Offshore is for two PSVs . At present they have four of the UT 776 supply vessels in service and two more under construction.

The vessels will be built by STX Offshore Norway at its Brevik yard, which has previously built a number of vessels for the ship-owner.

“We are extremely happy with the performance of these UT vessels, as are our clients,” said Håvard Ulstein, Managing Director of Island Offshore in Ulsteinvik, Norway. “A very important area for Island Offshore is reduction in fuel consumption. With the UT 776, the favourable hull lines contribute to a very low consumption rate over a wide range of operating draughts. We believe that the most significant contribution to reducing emissions is to reduce fuel consumption for a given amount of work done. Going for LNG fuel is a logical step in reducing emissions even further.”

Rolls-Royce has worked for several years developing designs and systems for offshore vessels using LNG as fuel.

“Now that more gas infrastructure is in place, it is realistic for customers to select this fuel and these designs and systems” commented Atle Gaasø, General Manager Sales for Offshore service vessels. “We are very happy to be working with Island Offshore, as they are a very forward-thinking company with a strong focus on efficiency and the environment, as they have already shown with their pioneering Rolls-Royce designed well intervention vessels.”

Hitachi Introduces The Eh4000acii

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:10:10 +0000

MOLINE, Illinois — Hitachi rigid-frame trucks set the standard for productivity and comfort. After several months of field testing, the company’s newest model — the electric-drive EH4000ACII — is ready to roll. It combines Hitachi’s time-honored front trailing arm and NEOCON-ETM suspension system with the vertical integration of Hitachi’s own IGBT AC-Drive technology. The result is a smooth-steering, smooth-riding, highly dependable, and long-lasting haul truck that mining operations will appreciate.

Because it utilizes AC-drive technology, the EH4000ACII has lower life-cycle costs and better performance on grade uphill or downhill with superior rimpull and retarding capabilities. The brushless motors of the AC-drive system provide lower maintenance costs while providing increased uptime. Trolley-assist options are available to improve performance on grade by increasing productivity while reducing fuel consumption during the haul cycle.

The EH4000ACII maneuvers easily in tight spaces and comfortably handles the haul road with steady speed on grade. Turning diameter is 30.2 m (99 ft. 1in.).

Volvo Construction Equipment meets Tier 4i emissions requirements, receives EPA certification

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:59:49 +0000

The new EPA-certified Volvo D11 Tier 4i engine with V-ACT (Volvo-Advanced Combustion Technology) is built with ultra high pressure variable fuel injection systems, super efficient cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), precise variable-geometry turbo (VGT) turbocharger controls, a powerful new engine management system (EMS), and an integrated exhaust after treatment system, equipped with a particulate filter and thermal regenerator.

“Volvo Construction Equipment is meeting the emission requirements of the new standards by continuing to engineer and develop engines of the highest quality and reliability and with the greatest performance and productivity accomplishments on the market today,” said John Bartz, Director, Product Assurance and Regulation, Volvo Construction Equipment North America, Inc.

When fully integrated with the rest of the Volvo powertrain, these engines offer even greater market-leading advantages in construction equipment operations. The results from highly-advanced engineering achievements have been increased combustion efficiency, engine response and performance, power capacity, and the required emissions reductions.

Similar emissions regulations have already been enforced in the on-highway truck sector since 2007 and – as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of diesel engines in the 9-18 liter range for both on-road and off-road operation – Volvo has previously developed EPA certified technological solutions for sister companies Volvo Trucks and Volvo Penta. This vast experience – not to mention the millions of hours of real world testing – has proven invaluable in producing off-highway engine systems to comply with the Tier 4i emissions legislation.

JAMA Comments on Recent Levels Achieved in Forex Rates

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:54:39 +0000

Rapid fluctuations in currency exchange rates have a significant impact on corporate activity including that of the automotive industry because of the global scale of its operations.

A case in point is the recent appreciation of the Japanese yen against other major world currencies to levels exceeding all projections. If sustained, this trend will adversely affect automotive production and employment in Japan, and cause increased apprehension on the part of the industry in regard to the yen’s future prospects.

Our industry therefore hopes that the Japanese government will work towards foreign-exchange stability under a framework of international cooperation. We also look forward to appropriate and timely economic management on the part of the government to help ensure that the current business recovery can complete its course, thus enabling continued future growth.

MHI Receives FEED Order for CO2 Capture Plant from E.ON UK

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:34:23 +0000

Tokyo, Japan- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), in consortium with Foster Wheeler Energy Limited of the UK, has received an order from E.ON UK plc, to support the front-end engineering design (FEED) for a post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture plant proposed as part of E.ON’s planned new supercritical coal-fired power station in Kent, England, UK. The order comes on the heels of the earlier pre-FEED phase awarded by E.ON UK in June 2009. It follows the recent announcement by the UK Government’s Department of Energy and Climate Change that E.ON has progressed to the next stage of it’s competition comprised of a FEED study. E.ON UK is one of two groups competing in the UK Government’s competition to build one of the world’s first industrial-scale carbon capture and storage demonstration plants.

E.ON plans to build a CCS facility at its proposed new Kingsnorth Power Station in Kent. The planned new 1,600 MW (megawatt) supercritical coal-fired power generation plant will replace the existing coal-fired units. E.ON plans to separate, recover and compress the CO2 from the coal-fired flue gas and to store it within a depleted gas reservoir in the North Sea.

The overall FEED activities will further develop the proposed CO2 capture and compression project at Kingsnorth and will involve engineering and design studies, following which the competition winner will be selected by the UK Government.

MHI’s CO2 recovery technology is known as the KM-CDR Process™. It uses the company’s proprietary KS-1 solvent for CO2 absorption and desorption, which MHI and the Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. developed jointly. MHI’s KM-CDR Process requires considerably lower energy consumption than other technologies and its performance has been highly evaluated. To date MHI has delivered seven commercial plants for CO2 recovery from natural gas-fired flue gas - besides two plants are currently being designed and constructed - making MHI the leader in large-scale CO2 recovery facilities.

In the area of CO2 recovery from coal-fired flue gas, which contains more impurities, MHI has already conducted small-scale demonstration testing for CO2 recovery from coal-fired flue gas at 10 tons/day from 2006 through 2008, and confirmed uninterrupted stable operation. The company is also constructing a 500 tons/day demonstration plant for Southern Company, which is targeted to begin operation in 2011.

For its participation in the CCS demonstration project calling for CO2 recovery from the flue gas of a coal-fired generation plant, MHI looks to propose a reliable and economically viable technology that is applicable to large-scale CCS for coal-fired plants. Simultaneously it aims to vigorously pursue business expansion in this area while also contributing to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.

MHI to Produce Gear Cutting Machines in China, Applying New “Shared Factory” Scheme

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:32:09 +0000

Tokyo, Japan - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) is planning to launch production of gear cutting machines in China at a facility that will simultaneously serve as a production base for other company business. MHI has determined to build a new plant on the premises of Changshu Ryoju Machinery Co., Ltd. (CRM) in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, an existing local production base for the company’s rubber tire machinery; the new facility will serve both for production of gear manufacturing equipment and for expanded production of rubber tire machinery. Adoption of this “shared factory” scheme will enable the company’s gear machinery business to launch local production swiftly and cost-effectively. Production of gear cutting machines at the new plant is slated to commence in March 2011. The initiative will mark the implementation of MHI’s first shared factory scheme for launching overseas production.

MHI decided to launch production of gear cutting machines in China in expectation of large demand from Chinese automobile manufacturers, where output has been expanding rapidly. MHI will initially manufacture its best-selling GE15A Dry Cut Gear Hobbing Machine at the new plant. By securing the same technological features and high quality as in corresponding machines being produced in Japan, the company intends to expand sales to manufacturers of high-precision, small-size gears for automobiles, motorcycles, decelerators, etc. The company looks to produce 40 units during the first year, and 100 units by the fourth year.

In addition to being equipped with various gear cutting machine manufacturing equipment, including assembly and measurement-related facilities, the new plant will also have a showroom to exhibit the machine as well as to accommodate test-cutting requests from potential customers. Plans call for construction to begin this month and be completed next February. To expand production of rubber tire machinery, besides the equipment installations in the new plant, a 5-face machining center will be installed in the main CRM plant.

CRM is an affiliate of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (China) Co., Ltd., the regional headquarters established in Beijing to oversee MHI’s business in China. Production at CRM got under way this past March. Supported by China’s rapid advancements in motorization, production has been expanding smoothly, to the extent that further production capability is now needed. The aim of MHI’s Machine Tool Division, which has been seeking to establish a local production base in China, meshed with CRM’s plant expansion plan.

Sharing of factories simultaneously used for other company business operations enables efficient location of production bases and also trims the time and costs required for setting up a new company. At the same time, the shared factory scheme also enables enhanced local procurement capability by commoditizing supply chains and stabilization of business by absorbing the impact of sharp demand fluctuations for specific products through production of multiple product types.

MHI sees production of gear manufacturing equipment at CRM as a pilot case of its shared factory scheme. Going forward the company intends to apply the scheme to promote further enhancement and expansion of its overseas production plants.
