IIR documentSummary
Recent progress in boil-off gas recovery systems at LNG receiving terminals of Tokyo Gas is presented. LNG and LPG are stored under atmospheric pressure. Heat leakage into the tanks, therefore, must be transferred out of them as boil-off gas. Since large-scale motor-driven compressors have been used in the LNG- and LPG-boil-off gas recovery systems, the consumption of electric power amounts to approximately 30% of the overall energy requirement in the terminal. In order to cut the operating cost of boil-off gas recovery systems, advanced technologies have been developed utilizing cold energy of LNG.
