据钻机地带8月13日报道，麦克德莫特国际有限公司(McDermott International, Ltd )宣布，其CB&I存储解决方案业务已经完成了4万立方米液氢球的设计，作为今年早些时候麦克德莫特获得的称为“领先的天然气生产商”的研究的一部分。
麦克德莫特强调，双壁液氢球的概念设计大约是CB&I存储解决方案为美国宇航局（NASA）建造的世界上最大的液氢球的8倍。麦克德莫特没有透露这笔交易的价值和公司的身份。
CB&I存储解决方案高级副总裁塞萨尔·卡纳尔斯(Cesar Canals)在公司的一份声明中表示，可行的存储解决方案在支持大规模氢经济方面发挥着关键作用。并补充道，这项研究证实了液氢解决方案的可行性，超出了之前的设想，并使我们在这个不断增长的行业更好地为客户服务。
麦克德莫特执行副总裁兼首席运营官 Samik Mukherjee 表示，这项研究只是实现液态氢存储的可能性的开始。
他在声明中补充道，我们相信，我们的工程专业知识将在实现能源转型方面产生切实的影响。
早在今年1月，麦克德莫特就宣布其CB&I存储解决方案业务获得了领先天然气生产商的一项研究，以研究扩大当前液氢存储容量限制的机会。
2019年2月，麦克德莫特透露，精密机械公司(Precision Mechanical, Inc.)授予了一份“相当大”的合同，在佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角的约翰·肯尼迪航天中心(John F. Kennedy Space Center)建造一个双壁液态氢球。该合同范围包括球体的工程、采购和建造，这将是美国宇航局（NASA）有史以来建造的最大的球体。当时，麦克德莫特将一份相当大的合同定义为价值在100万-5000万美元之间。
根据麦克德莫特网站信息显示，CB&I仓储解决方案是世界仓储设施、储罐和码头的领先设计和建造商。麦克德莫特将自己描述为能源行业工程和建筑解决方案的一流、全面的供应商。

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.
