LNG

Sub// LNG ➢ Introduction to LNG - LNG is natural gas cooled to a liquid state for shipping and storage. - LNG is more economical for long-distance transportation. ➢ Production Process 1. Natural Gas Production - Natural gas is extracted through drilling. 2. Processing - Impurities like water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur compounds are removed. 3. Liquefaction - Natural gas is cooled to convert it into a liquid state. - Cooling methods include refrigeration cycles and the Joule-Thomson effect. 4. Storage and Transportation - LNG is stored in cryogenic tanks and transported via LNG carriers. ➢ Key Benefits of LNG - Economic Efficiency - Access to remote or stranded gas fields. - Environmental Advantages - Fewer emissions compared to coal or oil. - Versatility - Can be regasified and used for various applications. ➢ Challenges and Considerations - Infrastructure Development - Significant investment and planning required. - Safety Concerns - Specialized equipment and safety protocols needed. - Market Volatility - Prices influenced by supply and demand dynamics. ➢ Conclusion - LNG is a cleaner and flexible alternative to traditional fossil fuels. - Expected to continue growing in the energy transition. ➢ Storage Tank - Overview of LNG storage tanks. ➢ Design and Construction - Double-Walled Construction - Material - Thermal Insulation - Safety Features ➢ Types of LNG Storage Tanks 1. Above-Ground Tanks 2. Underground Tanks
