Membrane tank application in a Gravity Based Structure
In the current dynamic LNG market, the demand for new performant LNG facilities is increasing. Nowadays, a wide range of solutions for LNG storage are available for implementation across the industry. However, most of the time, companies tend to gravitate towards what is well known and proven, often missing the benefits of new technologies. Gravity Based Structures (GBS) are well known in petroleum industry, but not yet common for LNG storage. For the first time, GTT’s membrane containment system, widely used for LNG carriers, FSRU, FLNG and on-shore storage tanks, will be adapted for a GBS application.
Integrally Geared (IG) Compression for cryogenic, high pressure BOG handling – A novel approach to increase reliability, efficiency and lower CAPEX and OPEX costs.
Atlas Copco Gas and Process will demonstrate how Integrally-geared (IG) compressor technology can be an efficient and reliable choice for high pressure boil off gas (BOG) processing. The company’s experience in low pressure BOG handling and cryogenic LNG processing has enabled them to apply IG technology for excess BOG management. Compared to traditional technologies IG compressors offer higher reliability, efficiency and availability. The shared gearbox and skid enable you to mount several different gas services on one machine, saving CAPEX and OPEX.
Cryogenic Liquid Spill Protection & LNG Pool Fire Suppression
Owens Corning technical services engineer, Alec Cusick, will discuss considerations and priorities during cryogenic liquid spills – including thermal shock, vaporization of liquid hydrocarbons and radiant heat during fires.
Alec will provide information on two FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation passive systems designed for this scenario. The FOAMGLAS® Cryo Spill™ System lines the base and walls of containment pits to provide thermal shock protection for steel and concrete, as well as reduce vaporization of liquid hydrocarbons.
Bouyant FOAMGLAS® PFS™ System modules rise to the top of LNG should a spill occur in a containment pit. The system delivers reduction of vaporization and should a fire ignite, reduces radiant heat and flame height.
Cryogenics: building on a safe transition for the Gas sector
Cryogenic technology has already enabled a dramatic shift in the world’s energy mix and is set to play a key role in the decarbonisation transition between now and 2050. Over the last 60 years, cryogenics have facilitated a buoyant global trade in liquid natural gas, shipped at -162°C .
