Cost effective vapour handling systems in an LNG receiving terminal.

Author(s) : CHO J. H., KOTZOT H., COYLE D., et al.

Summary

The transfer of liquefied natural gas between the LNG storage tanks and the LNG ship during unloading will always result in significant vapour generation. The vapour quantity is subject to energy input from varies sources and changes as the unloading proceeds. The vapour system in an import terminal needs to be designed for maximum vapour handling, but also needs to avoid over-design, considering capital investment and operation costs. The dynamic interaction between the storage tanks and the ship tanks during unloading have been investigated and analyzed based on actual operation data. This paper describes the relationships of the many parameters that result in vapour generation and provides process design guidelines for the vapour handling system. The process of optimizing technology of the vapour handling system is also discussed in this paper.
