Flare Minimization at LNG Receiving Terminal

Mar 22, 2010
Qiang Xu
The LNG (liquefied natural gas) receiving terminal is an important sector of the entire LNG value chain. The handling of boil-off gas (BOG) during LNG re-gasification at LNG-receiving terminals significantly influences the BOG flare emission and the energy consumption. In this paper, thermodynamic...

Advances in LNG Expander Technology

Mar 22, 2010
Joel Madison
The first use of cryogenic liquefied gas expanders dates back to the late nineties. The proven advantages of incorporating liquid expanders in the LNG liquefaction process lead the way to equip every new liquefaction plant with LNG expanders. The basic design concept of cryogenic expanders has...

Does Your SIS System Still Comply with Your LOPA and SRS?

Mar 22, 2010
It is often assumed that a SIS system forever meets all the SIS requirements of the project Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and Safety System Requirements (SRS). In reviewing a number of installed refinery SIS systems with respect to maintenance issues and operational issues a pattern starts...

Plasma Reforming of E85 for Hydrogen Rich Gases Production

Mar 22, 2010
Xinli Zhu
E85 (85 vol.% ethanol and 15 vol.% gasoline) is a partly renewable fuel, which is commercially available in gas stations. Hydrogen rich gas production from E85 for fuel cell or internal combustion engine applications is being considered as a potential way to reduce CO2 emissions with increasing...

Principal Components Analysis for Early Events Detection in Process Operations

Mar 22, 2010
Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is a statistical technique that aims at reducing the problem dimensionality by progressively eliminating redundancy in data. The method has found extensive use in exploratory data analysis as it aids visualization of complex data. Interestingly, the method is...

Improved Centrifugal Pump Performance with Counter Helical Inducer Housing Grooves

Mar 22, 2010
Sarah D. Alison-Youel
Net positive suction head required (NPSHR) is closely related to inducer performance and is an important requirement for overall pump performance. The ability of an inducer to propagate fluid towards the impeller inlet is greatly diminished as the fluid begins to rotate with the impeller blades. By...

Deployment of ZeaChem's Sustainable Biorefinery

Mar 22, 2010
Tim Eggeman
Increased emphasis is being placed on renewable, sustainable, domestic forms of energy, including transportation fuels, at national, state and local levels. Successful deployment of alternative solutions to petroleum-based liquid fuels for the transportation industry is dependent upon technical,...

Novel Polymer Membrane Process for Pre-Combustion CO2 Capture from Coal-Fired Syngas

Mar 22, 2010
Timothy C. Merkel
Gasification of coal – a low-cost and abundant domestic feedstock – and subsequent conversion to hydrogen and energy with simultaneous CO2 capture can improve national energy security in an environmentally responsible manner. To fulfill the promise of clean energy production through gasification of...

Timeline of Sabine Pass LNG Terminal

Mar 22, 2010
Darron Granger
This paper describes on a month by month basis the timeline of milestones accomplished in Conceptual design, Front End Engineering Design (FEED) both pre-FEED and full-FEED, local, state, and federal permitting, EPC activities for both Phase one and Phase two. Project cost for both phases is...

Holistic Approach to the Revamping and De-Bottlenecking of Pre-Heat Trains

Mar 22, 2010
Graham T. Polley
The energy efficiency and throughput of pre-heat trains can be improved by using process integration and through fouling mitigation. In this paper we show how the approaches can be combined in a systematic way. If fouling behaviour is ignored the use of process integration can lead to revamps in...
