據鉆機地帶8月13日報道，麥克德莫特國際有限公司(McDermott International, Ltd )宣布，其CB&I存儲解決方案業務已經完成了4萬立方米液氫球的設計，作為今年早些時候麥克德莫特獲得的稱為“領先的天然氣生產商”的研究的一部分。

　　麥克德莫特強調，雙壁液氫球的概念設計大約是CB&I存儲解決方案為美國宇航局（NASA）建造的世界上最大的液氫球的8倍。麥克德莫特沒有透露這筆交易的價值和公司的身份。

　　CB&I存儲解決方案高級副總裁塞薩爾·卡納爾斯(Cesar Canals)在公司的一份聲明中表示，可行的存儲解決方案在支持大規模氫經濟方面發揮著關鍵作用。并補充道，這項研究證實了液氫解決方案的可行性，超出了之前的設想，并使我們在這個不斷增長的行業更好地為客戶服務。

　　麥克德莫特執行副總裁兼首席運營官 Samik Mukherjee 表示，這項研究只是實現液態氫存儲的可能性的開始。

　　他在聲明中補充道，我們相信，我們的工程專業知識將在實現能源轉型方面產生切實的影響。

　　早在今年1月，麥克德莫特就宣布其CB&I存儲解決方案業務獲得了領先天然氣生產商的一項研究，以研究擴大當前液氫存儲容量限制的機會。

　　2019年2月，麥克德莫特透露，精密機械公司(Precision Mechanical, Inc.)授予了一份“相當大”的合同，在佛羅里達州卡納維拉爾角的約翰·肯尼迪航天中心(John F. Kennedy Space Center)建造一個雙壁液態氫球。該合同范圍包括球體的工程、采購和建造，這將是美國宇航局（NASA）有史以來建造的最大的球體。當時，麥克德莫特將一份相當大的合同定義為價值在100萬-5000萬美元之間。

　　根據麥克德莫特網站信息顯示，CB&I倉儲解決方案是世界倉儲設施、儲罐和碼頭的領先設計和建造商。麥克德莫特將自己描述為能源行業工程和建筑解決方案的一流、全面的供應商。

　　McDermott Designs Largest Ever Liquid Hydrogen Sphere

　　McDermott International, Ltd has announced that its CB&I Storage Solutions business has completed the design of a 40,000 cubic meter liquid hydrogen sphere as part of a study awarded earlier this year by what McDermott called a “leading natural gas producer”.

　　The conceptual design for the double wall liquid hydrogen sphere is approximately eight times larger than the world’s largest liquid hydrogen sphere currently under construction by CB&I Storage Solutions for NASA, McDermott highlighted. The value of the deal and identity of the company was not disclosed by McDermott.

　　“Viable storage solutions play a critical role in supporting a large-scale hydrogen economy,” Cesar Canals, a senior vice president at CB&I Storage Solutions, said in a company statement. “This study confirms the feasibility of scaling up liquid hydrogen solutions beyond what was previously thought possible and positions us to better serve our customers in this growing industry,” he added in the statement.

　　Samik Mukherjee, the executive vice president and chief operating officer of McDermott, said, “this study is just the beginning of achieving what’s possible for liquid hydrogen storage”.

　　“We believe our engineering expertise will make a real, tangible difference in realizing the energy transition,” he added in the statement.

　　Back in January, McDermott announced that its CB&I Storage Solutions business has been awarded a study by a leading natural gas producer to research opportunities to expand current liquid hydrogen storage capacity limits.

　　In February 2019, McDermott revealed that it was awarded a “sizeable” contract by Precision Mechanical, Inc. for a double wall liquid hydrogen sphere at the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The scope of the contract included the engineering, procurement and construction of the sphere, which will be the largest ever built for NASA. At the time, McDermott defined a sizeable contract as being worth between $1 million and $50 million.

　　CB&I Storage Solutions is the world’s leading designer and builder of storage facilities, tanks and terminals, according to McDermott’s website. McDermott describes itself as a premier, fully-integrated provider of engineering and construction solutions to the energy industry.
