Project Types
 
With its engineering pedigree dating back to 1790, Whessoe has developed its technical excellence by working for the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, nuclear, water, power and offshore industries, with specialist expertise in the storage and handling of liquid gases in both refrigerated and pressurized form.

LNG Terminals
 
From the world's first commercial LNG import terminal and regasification plant at Canvey Island, UK, built in 1962, to the UK's new LNG import terminal at the Isle of Grain, Whessoe has had continuous involvement in the LNG industry.

Our engineers were part of the team that designed and built the Canvey Island LNG terminal and have coordinated a number of the original patents for the LNG storage industry. They continue to sit on code committees that drive the LNG industry forward towards technical excellence.
 

LPG Projects

 LPG Tank
 
Whessoe has experience in the storage and handling of LPG in both its refrigerated and pressurized state.

Refrigerated LPG storage is normally used in association with bulk shipping and storage tanks of up to 100,000m3.

Pressurized storage is being more widely used in both spherical and mounded options. For a number of reasons (environmental, operating, technical) mounded storage is the only solution allowed in many countries.

Ethylene & Ethane
 
With similar technical requirements to LNG the storage and handling of ethylene has long been a specialty of Whessoe. Over a period of 40 years Whessoe has been responsible for the supply of 40 Ethylene tanks and 26 Ethylene terminals.
 

FEED Studies

 GBS for Adriatic LNG
 
Front End Engineering Design (FEED) Studies are an important specialist area for Whessoe, providing the opportunity to develop concepts through to the EPC bid stage. Our FEED group is experienced in developing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) submissions on behalf of our US Clients.
