Provided is a liquefied gas treatment system for a vessel, which includes a storage tank (11) storing liquefied natural gas, and an engine using the liquefied natural gas stored in the tank as fuel. The liquefied gas treatment system includes: a first stream of boil-off gas, which is generated from the liquefied natural gas in the tank (11) and is discharged from the tank (11); a second stream of the boil-off gas, which is supplied as fuel to the engine; and a third stream of the boil-off gas, which is not supplied to the engine in the first stream. The first stream is compressed at about 150 to 400 bara in a compressor (13) and is branched into the second stream and the third stream. The third stream compressed in the compressor is cooled in a heat exchanger (21) by exchanging heat with the first stream without employing a reliquefaction apparatus using a separate refrigerant, the thus cooled third stream is decompressed and the decompressed third stream is in a gas-liquid mixed state, and its gas and liquid components are returned to the tank (11).

The process and the apparatus serve to generate electric energy in a combined system comprising a power station and air treatment plant. The power station has a first gas expansion unit (300) which is connected to a generator for generating electric energy. The air treatment plant has an air compression unit (2), a heat exchanger system (21) and a tank (200) for liquid. In a first operating mode, feed air is, in the air treatment plant, compressed in the air compression unit (2) and cooled in the heat exchanger system (21), a storage fluid containing less than 40 mol% of oxygen is produced from the compressed and cooled feed air and the storage fluid is stored as low-temperature liquid (101) in the tank (200) for liquid. In a second operating mode, low-temperature liquid (103) is taken from the tank (200) for liquid and vaporized or pseudovaporized under superatmospheric pressure and the gaseous high-pressure storage fluid (104) produced in this way is expanded in the gas expansion unit (300). In the second operating mode, the (pseudo)vaporization of the low-temperature liquid is carried out in the heat exchanger system (21) of the air treatment plant.
摘要:
A process comprising: cooling natural gas with a heat exchanger and a first expander. The heat exchanger cools the feed natural gas to temperature higher than the outlet temperature of the expander, reheating the expander outlet stream in a first cold passage of the heat exchanger to slightly below the temperature of the feed natural gas to the heat exchanger, passing the cold outlet stream from the heat exchanger into a second expander wherein it is partly liquefied, separating the outlet stream of second expander into liquid and vapour fractions, collecting the liquid fraction for use as LNG product, reheating the vapour fraction in a second cold side passage of the heat exchanger to substantially the same temperature as the temperature of the feed natural gas to the heat exchanger, recycling the reheated vapour fraction partly as feed to the first expander and partly as feed to the heat exchanger.

Provided is a fuel supply system for a high-pressure natural gas injection engine having an excess boil-off gas (BOG) consumption unit, which can consume excess BOG corresponding to a difference between an amount of BOG generated in the storage tank and an amount of BOG required as fuel for the high-pressure natural gas injection engine, when a larger amount of BOG than required as fuel for the high-pressure natural gas injection engine is generated. The fuel supply system for a high-pressure natural gas injection engine includes: a BOG compression unit configured to receive BOG, which is generated in a storage tank, from the storage tank and compress the received BOG to a pressure of 12 to 45 bara; a reliquefaction apparatus configured to receive and liquefy the BOG compressed by the BOG compression unit; a high-pressure pump configured to compress the BOG liquefied by the reliquefaction apparatus; a high-pressure gasifier configured to gasify the BOG compressed by the high-pressure pump and supply the gasified BOG to the high-pressure natural gas injection engine; and an excess BOG consumption unit configured to consume excess BOG corresponding to a difference between an amount of BOG generated in the storage tank and an amount of BOG required as fuel for the high-pressure natural gas injection engine.

Provided is a fuel supply system for a marine structure such as an LNG carrier having a BOG reliquefaction apparatus and a high-pressure natural gas injection engine (e.g., an ME-GI engine), which can efficiently supply fuel to the high-pressure natural gas injection engine and minimize energy consumption in the BOG reliquefaction apparatus. A fuel supply system for supplying fuel to a high-pressure natural gas injection engine includes a BOG compression unit configured to receive and compress BOG generated in a storage tank, a reliquefaction apparatus configured to receive and liquefy the BOG compressed by the BOG compression unit, a high-pressure pump configured to compress the liquefied BOG generated by the reliquefaction apparatus, and a high-pressure gasifier configured to gasify the liquefied BOG compressed by the high-pressure pump. The fuel supply system includes a recondenser installed at an upstream side of the high-pressure pump and configured to recondense a portion or all of the generated BOG by using liquefied gas received from the storage tank. The BOG compression unit compresses BOG to a pressure of about 12 to 45 bara such that the BOG is liquefied under the compression pressure of the BOG compression unit.
