Abstract

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Aufbereitung von tiefgekühltem Flüssiggas zwecks Gewinnung von Prozessenergie für einen nachgeordneten verfahrenstechnischen Prozess zu schaffen, mit dem auch die Kälteleistung des tiefgekühlten Flüsiggases im nachgeordneten Prozess genutzt werden kann. Erfindungsgemäss wird das dadurch erreicht, dass die Kälteleistung des tiefgekühlten Flüssiggases (1) als Wärmesenke zumindest über ein Wärmetauschmedium (28, 54, 79) zumindest einem der Teilschritte des nachgeordneten, verfahrenstechnischen Prozesses zugeführt und bei Nichtverfügbarkeit dieses Wärmetauschmediums (28, 54, 79) das tiefgekühlte Flüssiggas (1) mit einem zusätzlichen Wärmetauschmedium (32) rückvergast wird.

The object of the invention is to provide a method for processing frozen liquid gas for the purpose of obtaining process energy for a downstream process engineering process, with which the cooling capacity of the frozen liquid gas can also be used in the downstream process. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the cooling capacity of the frozen liquid gas (1) as a heat sink is supplied at least via one heat exchange medium (28, 54, 79) to at least one of the sub-steps of the downstream process technology process and if this heat exchange medium (28, 54, 79) is not available the frozen liquid gas (1) is gasified back with an additional heat exchange medium (32).
