    摘要: Stranded natural gas is sometimes liquefied and sent to other countries that can use the gas in a transport ship. Conventional receiving terminals use large cryogenic storage tanks to hold the liquefied natural gas (LNG) after it has been offloaded from the ship. The present invention eliminates the need for the conventional cryogenic storage tanks and instead uses uncompensated salt caverns to store the product. The present invention can use a special heat exchanger, referred to as a Bishop Process heat exchanger, to warm the LNG prior to storage in the salt caverns or the invention can use conventional vaporizing systems some of which may be reinforced and strengthened to accommodate higher operating pressures. In one embodiment, the LNG is pumped to higher pressures and converted to dense phase natural gas prior to being transferred into the heat exchanger and the uncompensated salt caverns.

    摘要: A system and method for minimizing the environmental impact of water handling equipment such as heat exchangers and water handling systems, as for example those located at an LNG receiving facility. The system and method utilizes a low-speed pump impeller to flow the warmant through the annulus of the heat exchanger to minimize biota destruction caused by the pump impellers. Further, the system and method places the water intake pipes at levels in the source or reservoir for the water where biota concentration is at a minimum such that biota flowing through the annulus is minimized. No biocide, scale or corrosion inhibitors are injected during normal operation. The system or a portion of the system is shut down periodically to allow injection to a flush fluid containing biocide, scale inhibiters, and/or corrosion inhibitors. The flush is then drained and recovered.
