Abstract:
A system for combusting boil-off gas and generating electricity at an offshore LNG marine terminal distant from an onshore LNG facility is disclosed. BOG produced as a result of LNG transfer between an onshore LNG facility and an LNG carrier, is combusted to produce power which drives an electrical generator producing electricity. None or a reduced amount of BOG needs to be returned to an onshore LNG facility, as some of the BOG is combusted at the offshore marine terminal.
