摘要:
Disclosed is a system for reducing a heating value of natural gas. The system includes a heat exchanger to liquefy a portion of components having high heating values, a gas-liquid separator to separate the liquefied component, and a nitrogen adding mechanism to add nitrogen to remaining non-liquefied components. The system includes an additional heat exchanger to cool and liquefy the remaining non-liquefied components after the gas-liquid separator separates the liquefied component from the natural gas. The heat exchangers employ cold heat generated upon regasification of LNG. The system can reduce the heating value of natural gas composed of a variety of hydrocarbon components according to requirements of a place of demand by separating the component with the higher heating value from the natural gas to allow the separated component to be used as fuel, thereby reducing an overall size and operating costs of the system.

An apparatus and method for increasing efficiency of a gas turbine and a marine structure having the gas turbine are disclosed. The marine structure has a cargo tank for storing cryogenic liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a gas turbine for generating electric power. The marine structure further includes a heat exchanger to cool air for combustion supplied to the gas turbine using a cold source or cold heat of the LNG stored in the cargo tank, a heat transfer medium circuit to indirectly transfer the cold source of the LNG stored in the cargo tank to the heat exchanger, and a heater to heat a heat transfer medium having undergone heat exchange with the air for combustion while passing through the heat exchanger. The temperature of air supplied to the gas turbine is lowered using the cold source generated upon regasification of LNG in the marine structure, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gas turbine.

An apparatus and method for increasing efficiency of a gas turbine and a marine structure having the gas turbine are disclosed. The marine structure includes an ambient LNG vaporizer for regasifying cryogenic LNG via heat exchange with air and the gas turbine for generating electric power. The marine structure includes a moist-air mixing chamber disposed at an upstream side of the gas turbine, a condensed-water nozzle to spray condensed water, generated from air during the heat exchange in the LNG vaporizer, into the moist-air mixing chamber; and a cold air supply pipe to supply air, cooled by the heat exchange in the LNG vaporizer, to the gas turbine via the moist-air mixing chamber. The method reduces the temperature of air supplied to the gas turbine by condensed water or cold air generated during regasification of LNG through the ambient vaporizer in the marine structure, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gas turbine.

Disclosed is an apparatus for containing LNG. The apparatus includes an LNG tank containing liquid phase LNG and boil-off gas of LNG, and an circulating device. The circulating device includes an intake port and a discharge port. The circulating device further includes an flowing pathway from the intake port to the discharge port that does not include a forced LNG liquefying device. The intake port is located in an upper portion of the LNG tank, and the discharge port is located in a lower portion of the LNG tank substantially lower than the intake port. The circulating device is configured to suction, through the intake port, boil-off gas from the upper portion of the LNG tank and to discharge boil-off gas, through the discharge port, to the lower portion of the LNG tank.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing natural gas composed of various hydrocarbon components for transportation of the natural gas to a demand side without separation of the hydrocarbon components, such that the natural gas can be used by consumers after being separated into the hydrocarbon components according to the needs of the demand side. The apparatus includes a storage tank and a hydrocarbon liquefied gas mixture accommodated in the storage tank. The mixture has hydrocarbon components composed of methane, ethane, propane and butane, and is produced by liquefying raw natural gas without changing the relative ratio of methane, ethane, propane and butane in the raw natural gas immediately after extraction from the gas well. The method and apparatus can be applied to floating marine structures.

Provided is a method for operating a fuel supply system for a marine structure. The fuel supply system 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 the recondenser recondenses a portion or all of the generated BOG by using liquefied gas supplied from the storage tank. During a ballast voyage process, all of the BOG is supplied to and recondensed by the recondenser, and an operation of the reliquefaction apparatus is interrupted.
