Evaluating British Columbia's economic policies for liquefied natural gas development

Liquefied Natural Gas for Trucks and Buses

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being developed as a heavy vehicle fuel. The reason for developing LNG is to reduce our dependency on imported oil by eliminating technical and costs barriers associated with its usage. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a program, currently in its third year, to develop and advance costeffective technologies for operating and refueling natural gas–fueled hea...

Liquefied Natural Gas Developments Specialreport

A multi-tube, spirally-wound, cryogenic heat exchanger, the main heat exchanger (MHE) is the principal piece of heat-transfer equipment in mixed-refrigerant liquefaction cycles for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). An MHE unit operation model called the spirally-wound tube-bundle module was developed as an integral component of the dynamic simulation capabilities for a process modeling pac...

Maintenance Policies Comparison by Multi-Objective Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm for Liquefied Natural Gas Pipeline

Reliability analysis for liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline network brings researchers huge challenges because the system experience multiple dependent competing failure processes. Based on system reliability R(t) and time to failure distribution f(t) analyzed from system failure modes and mechanisms, we can generate LNG pipeline life data. Different maintenance policies can be considered as ...

Supply Chain Management and Economic Valuation of Real Options in the Natural Gas and Liquefied Natural Gas Industry

My dissertation concentrates on several aspects of supply chain management and economic valuation of real options in the natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, including gas pipeline transportation, ocean LNG shipping logistics, and downstream storage. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the natural gas and LNG industries, and the topics studied in this thesis. Chapter 2 studies how to ...
