BOILING LIQUEFACTION ON LARGE CAPACITY LNG TANKERS

REUCKYERFLUESSIGUNG DES BOILOFF AUF FLUSSIGERDGAS-TANKERN

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is transported in large capacity tankers at a temperature of approximately -162 C. Due to heat radiation into the insulated cargo tanks, part of the cargo is evaporating. This boil-off gas is normally burned in the ship's boiler as fuel. But in general, the sales price for LNG is higher than that of usual ships' fuel. The present paper intends to find out, whether this price difference enables an economic reliquefaction; technical and economical aspects of this new procedure are being discussed.
