Marine Transportation of LNG at Intermediate Temperature

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 35 A))

Abstract

Current practice in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is to chill the product at atmospheric pressure to its saturation temperature or slightly below so that the liquid can be handled readily without resort to the use of pressure vessels. This practice is advantageous in that a minimum thickness of steel is required in the construction of the vessels for the containment; however, the practice has a number of disadvantages compared with maintaining the product in the liquid phase at some intermediate temperature and pressure.
