2013-06-03Four processes for small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) production are eva luated. These include a single-stage mixedrefrigerant (SMR), a two-stage expander nitrogen refrigerant and two open-loop expander processes. Steady-statesimulations were undertaken to ensure that each process was compar..

2013-06-03A mathematical model for predicting the low temperature exergy, pressure exergy and total cold heatexergy of Lique®ed Natural Gas (LNG) is developed in this paper. In the model, the liquid mixturedensities are calculated by a shape factor Corresponding State method, Vapor-Liquid-Equilibrium d..

2013-06-03As liquefied natural gas (LNG) advances toward widespread commercial use, the prospect of producing it where it willbe distributed commercially has become increasingly attractive.    An invention by the LNG research team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory has ..

2013-06-03Natural gas is the world's cleanest burning fossil fuel and it has emerged as the environmentally preferred fuel of choice. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates domestic natural gas demand will grow by more than 40 percent between now and 2025 - growth driven largely by ..

2013-06-03Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas that has been supercooled to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 162 degrees Celcius). At that temperature, natural gas condenses into a liquid. When in liquid form, natural gas takes up to 600 times less space than in its gaseous state, which makes i..

2013-06-03The North American natural gas situationNorth America's demand for natural gas is increasing, yet production in the lower 48 states of the United States is decreasing. The resulting gap between demand and supply can be met through a combination of Canadian imports, gas from Alaska and liquefi..

2013-06-03There are vast reserves of natural gas in the world without access to local markets. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports now provide only about 3 percent of U.S. natural gas supplies, largely because LNG has not been price competitive with domestic natural gas. That is changing.With market prices..

2013-06-03Liquefied natural gas (LNG) was proven viable in 1917, when the first LNG plant went into operation in West Virginia. The first commercial liquefaction plant was built in Cleveland, Ohio in 1941. In January 1959, the world's first LNG tanker carried LNG cargo from Lake Charles, Louisiana to C..

2013-06-03Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a very pure form of natural gas and is not carcinogenic or toxic. For natural gas to be liquefied all impurities must be removed such as: Sulfur, carbon dioxide and mercury which are corrosive to LNG equipment Water, which could freeze and cause equipment blockage H..

2013-06-03Höegh LNG announced that it has entered into agreements with major contractors and formally started the engineering and design for its first LNG FPSO Unit (Floating Production Storage and Offloading), with the objective to design and construct the worlds’ first lng fpso. The company intends..
