Abstract

Contemplated power producing configurations and methods use refrigeration cold of LNG to condense expanded vaporized natural gas produced in an expansion turbine, wherein the expansion turbine is driven by heated vaporized natural gas drawn from a vaporizer. Most typically, condensed expanded vaporized natural gas is combined with the LNG and fed to the vaporizer.
