Hydrogen/ammonia plant awarded ABS approval
A hydrogen and ammonia production platform developed by the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) has been granted approval in principle (AiP) in respect of safety and feasibility by ABS. The multi-functional platform designed by KRISO produces green hydrogen with renewable electricity from a wind farm. Its features include a desalination plant that turns sea water into fresh water; an electrolysis system that produces hydrogen by electrolysing water; a compression system to pressurises the hydrogen, a nitrogen generation system that separates nitrogen from air; and an ammonia synthesis system that produces ammonia from a reaction with hydrogen....
