LNG chain
- Details
- Written by Alan Sacchi
Historically, the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) chain has existed and has been developing for more than thirty years. Many valuable experiences and knowledge have been obtained during the LNG evolution. Certainly, one of the greatest values of this complex transport system and process is its "safety".
My wish is to bring the term and description of the LNG chain at least a little bit closer to all those who are interested, and I wish that people overcome the fear of something that is "unknown".
LNG is a clean and acceptable form of energy which can coexist with the local community, tourism, fishing and agriculture. All the LNG terminals in Korea have a museum within their facilities, which displays their efficiency and safety.
In this presentation, the LNG chain which encompasses three key links will be covered:
- Loading terminal as a special purpose port
- Carrier as a link between the producer and the consumer, the so-called floating "pipeline"
- Unloading terminal
The LNG terminal will be described through the requirements and the equipment of the terminal, as well as through the division and operations on the LNG carrier.
