Intuthuko kubuchwepheshe benqubo yezitshalo ze-LNG: Ushintsho Lomdlalo Embonini Yegesi Yemvelo (1)
Esimweni esishintsha njalo somkhakha wamandla, i-Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) ivela njengesisekelo soguquko lwamandla emhlabeni jikelele. Imibiko yakamuva ikhombisa ukuthi isidingo se-LNG sizokhula, kanti ukubikezela kuphakamisa ukukhula okungaphezu kuka-40% ngo-2030. Lokhu kukhula kuholela ekutshalweni kwezimali okukhulu ku- Ubuchwepheshe bokucubungula i-LNG, ikakhulukazi kubuchwepheshe benqubo yesitshalo se-LNG, okubaluleke kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza kahle kanye nokusimama ekucutshungulweni kwegesi yemvelo.
Enye yezingxenye ezibalulekile ze Ukucutshungulwa kwe-LNG iyiyunithi yokususa igesi ye-asidi. Lobu buchwepheshe budlala indima ebalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ikhwalithi yegesi yemvelo ngokususa ngempumelelo izingxenye eziyingozi njenge-carbon dioxide ne-hydrogen sulfide. Intuthuko yakamuva kubuchwepheshe bokususa igesi ye-asidi iholele ekuthuthukisweni kwezinyibilikisi nezinqubo ezisebenza kahle, okuvumela izinkampani ukuthi zifinyelele amazinga aphezulu okuhlanzeka emikhiqizweni yazo ye-LNG. Njengoba imakethe iba nokuncintisana okukhulu, ikhono lokukhiqiza i-LNG esezingeni eliphezulu lizoba umehluko omkhulu ezinkampanini ezifuna ukuthola isabelo semakethe.
Ngaphezu kokususwa kwegesi ene-asidi, ubuchwepheshe bokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni wegesi yemvelo bungenye isici esibalulekile salokhu. Ubuchwepheshe benqubo yesitshalo se-LNG. Izinqubo zokukhipha amanzi emzimbeni eziphumelelayo zibalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukugqwala kwamapayipi nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokuthutha kwe-LNG. Muva nje, inkampani ehamba phambili kulo mkhakha yembule ubuchwepheshe obusha bokukhipha amanzi emzimbeni obuthembisa ukuletha ukusebenza okuphezulu ngokusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi. Lokhu kusungula izinto ezintsha akugcini nje ngokunciphisa izindleko zokusebenza kodwa futhi kuhambisana nokusunduza komkhakha emikhubeni esimeme kakhudlwana.
