Design of LNG Receiving Terminals

1995
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become increasingly important as a source of energy in recent years. In the United States, LNG has been used for “peak-shaving” purposes; i.e., natural gas from domestic sources is liquefied during “off-peak” demand periods, and then vaporized when peak demand for gas exists.

Offshore LNG Terminals: Sunk or Floating?

Offshore Technology Conference, 2004
Abstract The first offshore LNG import terminal project that received approval from the US Coast Guard shortly after the Deepwater Port Act was amended is of the Gravity Base Structure (GBS) type. However, floating solutions are following closely in its footsteps with a first application recently approved for a Gulf

Design Considerations for an LNG Receiving Terminal

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2003
Abstract LNG receiving or import terminals are not a new phenomenon, with over 40 in existence worldwide, the oldest being more than 30 years old. At present, there is renewed interest in LNG receiving terminals outside Japan, due to the increased demand for clean burning energy and an abundance of natural gas worldwide. Currently, there

Safety and Efficiency Enhancement in LNG Terminals

2016
Liquefaction of natural gas helps in transporting it over long distances by sea vessels. It is then regasified and transported through pipelines to the consumer. Due to large energy density of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and associated flammability issues, the LNG terminal involves high risk.

Siting an LNG Terminal in California: A Descriptive Framework

1982
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is, as the name suggests, a gas that is liquefied for purposes of transportation. To liquefy natural gas, its temperature is reduced to −160°, at which point the volume of the gas is reduced to approximately one- six hundredth of its original volume.

SWOT Analysis of LNG Terminal Construction on the Island of Krk Compared to LNG Terminal Pojects in Poland and Lithuania

Naftaplin = Nafta i plin, 2015
Republika Hrvatska do sada nije pokazivala veliko zanimanje za zgradnju UPP terminala, a također nije točno definirala vrstu i kapacitet terminla koji bi bio najpovoljniji i najprihvatljiviji za RH. Mogućnost izgradnje UPP terminala ponovno je aktualizirana nakon što je ovaj projekt proglašen zajedničkim interesom EU (eng.

Development of the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście, Poland

2021
This chapter focuses on growing importance of LNG in Poland’s energy system and examines the impact of the LNG terminal in Świnoujście on diversification of energy supply and improvement of energy security. Poland is increasingly using gas as an energy source, replacing environmentally more harmful coal.

Multiobjective Optimisation of a Floating LNG Terminal

Volume 1: Offshore Technology, 2008
The paper presents a comprehensive multi-objective hydrodynamic optimisation procedure and its application to the early design of a Floating LNG Terminal for improved seakeeping and wave attenuation characteristics on its lee side. Genetic Algorithms are used to find the Pareto optima designs followed by Multi-Objective Decision Making procedures to ...

Control System for LNG Receiving Terminal

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1991
Abstract The operation control system of an LNG terminal must reduce production cost through labor saving and optimization, while providing the safe and uninterrupted gas service. To do this, a hierarchical computerized system based on the distributed computer control system has been implemented at the Osaka Gas LNG terminal.
