MGI, representatives from Korean and China, from December 25th and 26th, 2015, visited SINOYQX, the second largest melamine foam producers in the world, for melamine foam insulation used in MGI’s newly designed LNG fuel tank insulation systems.
MGI, representatives from Korean, technical manager, and voice manager from China, on December 26th, 2015 visited SINOYQX. They visited SINOYQX DeYang Melamine foam plant, which was newly established in 2015 and covers 13,000 square meters; and Qing BaiJiang plant.
After the visiting, SINOYQX management hold a meeting with them, discussing the possibility of melamine foam for its cryogenic insulation system, warm and cold insulation.
MGI is developing a newly cryogenic insulation system in its newly designed IMO A tank and melamine foam used as its warm and cold insulation. It would the first time that melamine foam as insulation materials used in LNG insulation system in the world. Atmospheric pressure IMO A-tanks are considered the best solution with regards to utilization of available space and lowest possible steel weight.
The demand for more environmentally friendly solutions has been a driving force for the development of large size LNG fuel tank solutions. The sizes are beyond what is feasible for vacuum insulated tanks and the concept is as such not a competitor to vacuum tanks. It is aimed at a new market for LNG fuel, namely deep sea ships with a fuel storage requirement of more than 500 m3. An IMO A tank solution is also an excellent choice when the vessel has auxiliary engines where the fuel consumption is considerable also at the quayside.
MGI representatives were satisfied SINOYQX’s melamine foam capacity and quality and its supporting on developing its newly cryogenic insulation system.
