Abstract

It is proposed before the maritime transportation of liquefied gas to subcool it to the temperature which is lower than the saturation temperature at the pressure of transportation. Then the heat inflow to gas from the surroundings through the tank insulation shall be compensated by heating of gas to the saturation temperature. This will make unnecessary the ship based plant for recondensation of gas, which is vaporized owing to heat inflow, and shall give essential economic effect. It is proposed also to use the cryogenic potential of liquefied natural gas during its regasification at the port of discharge. Regasification of liquefied gas must be performed in air separation plant by way of the heat exchange with air. Such solution makes it possible to decrease energy consumption on receiving the products of air separation.
