Ship systems for natural gas liquefaction

Abstract

This review describes the current liquefaction systems on ships for natural gas transportation in liquid form (Liquefied Natural Gas – LNG). Since in the construction of a gas carrier an essential requirement is the selection of a liquefaction system, this paper describes the principles of operation, thermal and technological processes, as well as the advantages of each system.

Energy Efficiency of Transport and Logistics Infrastructure: The Example of the Republic of Kazakhstan

“…Issues of rational use and allocation of resources is one of the main in logistics. The strategic goal of the logistics supply chain management -resource saving, minimization of energy efficiency costs of the transport and logistics complex in the organization of cargo transportation is the maintenance of the cargo flow in the system producer-logistic center-consumer (Vorkapić et al, 2016).…”

Simulation Model of Regenerative LNG Refrigeration System for Re-Liquification of BOG

“…The Cryostar EcoRel system, the Hamworthy MARK-I and MARK-III systems [10], and the Hamworthy-Burckhardt system [11] are all employed in liquification plants using nitrogen as a refrigerant for the full re-liquification of BOG to minimize fuel losses. Vorkapic et al investigated this re-liquification plus the Tractebel Gas Engineering systems applicable to LNG transportation vessels [12]. Additionally, the Linde-Hampson system was used for partial re-liquification using the cold heat of BOG [13].…”
