CONCEPTS FOR ICE MANAGEMENT AT ARCTIC LNG TERMINAL
The paper is concerned with ice management problems anticipated for the terminal area in the Canadian Arctic, since the natural ice growth averages 2 m. The paper summarizes a comprehensive review on potential ice management techniques. The technical and economic feasibility of each of the potential solutions are briefly discussed. From these preliminary investigations, it was concluded that the use of waste heat from the liquefaction process is the most effective and reliable way to inhibit ice accumulation near the terminal. The analytical techniques used to predict water temperatures, heat transfer rates to the ice cover and end-of-season ice growth are discussed. Order from NSFI as No. 19944.
