The solitude concept demonstrates how technological advances can be combined into a solution that offers some 20% reduction in annual OPEX, creates only a few percent increase in CAPEX and increases the overall safety all at the same time. Elisabeth Terstad, CEO Oil & Gas at ONV GL, said: "Solitude has been developed with maintainability foremost in mind. By changing the focus from maximum efficiency to maximum reliability, and selecting robust processing options with built-in redundancy, we were able to develop a solution that ensures production levels and boosts the economic viability of FLNG projects." Solitude makes use of advanced technology for its power, including fuel cells - power which would otherwise be generated by high-maintenance gas turbines. This improves power generation reliability and reduces the unit's environmental footprint.
