Tunable business development manager Per Christian Johnsrud delivered a captivating presentation at the LNG Shipping & Terminals Conference 2023 in London in November 2023, on how gas analysers can aid emissions monitoring and LNG carrier CII ratings
Tunable business development manager Per Christian Johnsrud’s presentation at the LNG Shipping & Terminals Conference 2023 in London in November demonstrated how the Tunable emission monitoring and gas analysers can assist LNG vessel owners in addressing regulatory challenges and optimising operations.
Tunable, a Norwegian technology company established in 2015, has been instrumental in providing innovative gas analyser systems that have a programmable filter that allows for infrared spectroscopy.
Tunable has successfully sold these systems to more than 50 LNG vessel owners.
During the presentation, Mr Johnsrud emphasised the significant role that Tunable’s technology plays in emission monitoring.
Tunable’s comprehensive system comprises two distinct products - one measures the incoming gas to the engine, while the other measures the exhaust emissions.
By employing this technology alongside advanced AI and machine learning techniques, LNG carrier owners can gain valuable insights to enhance engine efficiency.
A notable advantage highlighted by Johnsrud is the system’s ability to accurately measure gas composition, specifically the nitrogen content.
This valuable data enables ship owners to improve CII and extend the operational lifetime of vessels without making significant operational changes.
Mr Johnsrud also highlighted the significance of accurate gas measurement and accounting for nitrogen content consumed when reporting and communicating the vessel’s CII, which enables LNG vessel owners to demonstrate transparency in negotiations with charters and gain a better understanding of gas consumption.
