Onderhoudsstop Shell Moerdijk – stappen in de energietransitie
04 jul. 2019
Onderhoudsstoppen op Shell Moerdijk zijn eigenlijk investeringen van meerdere miljoenen euro’s in veiligheid, innovatie en – essentieel - verduurzaming. De huidige stop is daarop geen uitzondering.
Energietransitie gebeurt niet alleen met zichtbare projecten zoals het zonnepark van Shell Moerdijk. Innovaties in de fabrieken zijn minstens zo belangrijk. Een voorbeeld van zo een innovatie is het elektrificeren van diverse fabrieksonderdelen. In de fabrieken is veel stoom nodig om bijvoorbeeld machines aan te drijven. Inmiddels is het technisch mogelijk sommige stoomaandrijvingen te vervangen door elektrische varianten.
Directeur Richard Zwinkels: “Door over te gaan op elektromotoren verlagen we direct de CO2-uitstoot van de fabrieken. Om stoom te produceren is namelijk aardgas nodig. Voor elektrische aandrijving kunnen we groene stroom gebruiken. Bijvoorbeeld de elektriciteit die wordt opgewekt door ons zonnepark.”

MAINTENANCE STOP SHELL MOERDIJK
A step closer to the energy transition

We are here at Shell Moerdijk standing at the MSPO 1 factory, in front of the compressor building. In the last turnaround we replaced a steam turbine with an electric motor.

For Shell, electrification is very important. It fits well within the theme of energy transition.
So what we are doing is replacing steam turbines,

and in the future maybe even gas turbines, with machines that are driven by electricity.
This way we are transitioning from molecules to electrons. The main advantage is that we can eliminate our steam consumption. This means a significant reduction in costs, but more importantly, instead of steam we are able to use electricity which can be generated
from renewables.

At Moerdijk we recently build a beautiful Solar Park,

from where the generated energy is transferred to the Moerdijk facilities. That green power is perfect to use on our electric motor.
