Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a liquefied natural gas transportation system, and more particularly, to a liquefied natural gas transportation system capable of minimizing boil-off gas (BOG) generated when transporting liquefied natural gas.
In general, natural gas is transported in the form of gas through land or sea gas pipelines or stored in a cargo tank of a carrier in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) Can be transported to the customer's destination.
This LNG is obtained by cooling the natural gas to a cryogenic temperature of approximately -163 ° C, and its volume is reduced to approximately 1/600 of that of the natural gas in the gaseous state, making it well suited for long distance transportation through the sea.
LNG can generate boil off gas (BOG) when it is supplied, loaded or unloaded and natural boil off gas (NBOG) is generated naturally. do.
An LNG carrier, a floating production storage vessel, or both loading and unloading devices for the cargo window of such an LNG storage or loading facility typically loads or unloads LNG into the storage tank through a system equipped with a loading arm.
However, as described above, a large amount of BOG and NBOG are generated or increased as the LNG is vaporized during the transfer of the LNG. In other words, if the generated BOG is not properly discharged, it can act as a factor that hinders the flow of LNG.
Also, the BOG generated in the piping flows into the storage tank of the cargo hold to increase the internal pressure of the storage tank, and when the BOG exceeds the reference level, the BOG is generated.
To solve this problem, some LNG carriers use the vent master to vent air and use it as fuel for the engine, which increases the waste of BOG. In addition, even if the liquefaction equipment is equipped, not only the cost for the equipment is added but also the cost due to continuous operation is added.
The liquefied natural gas transfer system according to the embodiment of the present invention can effectively reduce the BOG generated during LNG transfer and minimize the operation cost.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a liquefied natural gas (LNG) delivery system, comprising: a main line for transferring the liquefied natural gas from a first reservoir where the liquefied natural gas is stored to an external second reservoir; A loading device having a container surrounding the main line and having a predetermined space formed therein; A cooling device for subcooling a portion of the liquefied natural gas stored in the first storage section and providing the part to the container; And a vapor return line for providing vaporized natural gas (BOG) generated from the liquefied natural gas transferred to the second storage unit to the container, wherein the vaporized natural gas injected through the vapor return line is supplied to the container, A liquefied natural gas transfer system which is re-liquefied by sub-cooled liquefied natural gas can be provided.
The steam return line may be connected to the first storage unit through the container.
The apparatus may further include a vapor line for supplying natural convection gas (NBOG) generated in the first storage unit to the container.
Further, the natural evaporation gas injected through the steam line can be re-liquefied by the sub-cooled liquefied natural gas provided in the container.
The steam line may be connected to the second storage unit through the container.
The cooling device may also include a subcooling fluid supply line for providing subcooled liquefied fuel gas to the container and a spray line for selectively providing subcooled liquefied fuel gas.
Further, when the temperature and pressure inside the container are measured and the temperature and pressure inside the container are lower than a predetermined reference value, the temperature and pressure in the container can be maintained by injecting the supercooled liquefied fuel gas through the spray line.
The apparatus may further include a fluid return line for allowing the subcooled liquefied fuel gas provided in the container to selectively flow into the first reservoir.
The liquefied natural gas transfer system according to an embodiment of the present invention can effectively reduce BOG by supercooling LNG stored in the first storage unit and re-liquefying BOG and NBOG generated during LNG transfer through the supercooled LNG, The operation cost can be minimized.
Also, there is an effect of providing a stable LNG transportation system by periodically or selectively injecting super-cooled LNG to the re-liquefaction facility so as to keep the temperature and pressure constant.
