New in Gas Processing Technology

ABB releases new shaft generator technology The generator allows easy and flexible installation to bulk carriers, container carriers and LNG tankers. The AMZ 1400 permanent magnet shaft generator is optimized for converter control and enables better efficiency than either induction or electrically excited synchronous machines at both full and partial loading. This helps to cut fuel costs and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Its compact size shrinks the footprint of the equipment package by around 20% compared to a conventional synchronous or induction-type shaft generator. In addition, the weight is reduced by approximately 30%. The unit is also simpler to install at the
