Innovations in Hammerfest
In what is currently our largest project – the natural gas liquefaction facility in Hammerfest in the north of Norway – particularly high standards apply to quality, safety and environmental protection. At this site we employ a range of innovative measures to comply with both the stringent national regulations and the environmental protection targets laid down in international agreements and treaties. Hammerfest is, for example, the world’s first LNG plant that not only physically separates the carbon dioxide contained in the natural gas, but subsequently dries, compresses and pumps it back into the reservoir via a pipeline – some 700,000 metric tons per year.
Environmental protection at the LNG project in Bergen
Quality, safety and environmental protection were also the focuses of our LNG project in Bergen, Norway, which was completed in 2004. At this major facility, the creation of a management system for quality, safety and environmental protection – developed in tandem with the actual engineering work – ranked among our most important contributions.
Linde-KCA-Dresden: Environmentally compatible water purification
The growth of the world’s population and advancing industrialization are causing a constant increase in the worldwide demand for drinking water. To safeguard the water supply, surface waters and groundwater need to be protected from the discharge of sewage. Simultaneously, treatment and management capacities for drinking water need to be expanded. LKCA offers a variety of environment-friendly procedures for treating groundwater and surface waters which harness methods such as membrane technology to disinfect the water without the input of chemicals.
