identification of inlet and outlet locations for cool seawater discharges from an lng facility

two-dimensional hydrodynamic and advection-dispersion simulations were carried out toidentify the appropriate locations of inlet and outlet for cool seawater discharges from the proposed liquefiednatural gas (lng) terminal using mike-21 suites of software. the model simulations were validated bycomparing the observed and simulated hydrodynamics in terms of water depths, current speeds and direc...

Gas Turbinesand Turbocompressors for Lng

The international liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade is expanding rapidly. Projects are being proposed worldwide to meet the industry forecasted growth rate of 12 percent by the end of the decade. LNG train designs in the coming years appear to fall within three classes, having nominal capacities of approximately 3.5, 5.0, and 8.0 million tons per annum (MTPA). These designs may coexist in the c...

LNG Shipping: a Descriptive Analysis

At present, throughout the world LNG investments are abounding. In particular, the US and the EU are trying to facilitate their security of natural gas supply. For this reason, LNG enables importers to extend their gas suppliers’ portfolio, considering that some producing countries can be reached only via sea transport. LNG will thus increase importers’ choice; at the same time it can widen the...

LNG decision making approaches compared.

Hazard zones associated with LNG handling activities have been a major point of contention in recent terminal development applications. Debate has reflected primarily worst case scenarios and discussion of these. This paper presents results from a maximum credible event approach. A comparison of results from several models either run by the authors or reported in the literature is presented. Wh...
