Meanwhile, a first emergency discharge control valve installed in an emergency discharge pipe branched from the gas discharge pipe extending from the third vaporizer and extended to the discharge gas treatment facility to control the flow path of the emergency discharge pipe; An orifice for controlling a flow rate of gas flowing through the first emergency discharge control valve; A second emergency discharge control valve installed in an emergency discharge pipe to control the gas flowing into the discharge gas treatment facility; A third emergency discharge control valve branched from the emergency discharge pipe and installed in a return pipe connected to a pressure reducing pipe connecting the intermediate storage tank and the LNG tank to control the flow path of the return pipe may be further included.
According to the present invention having the above characteristics, by using the first and the third vaporizer using different heat transfer medium to vaporize the liquefied natural gas step by step can reduce the amount of sea water used as the heat transfer medium in the third vaporizer, Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the energy or equipment scale required for the circulation of seawater, and to reduce the temperature decrease of seawater, thereby reducing the occurrence of disturbance of the ecosystem or environmental pollution by the discharged seawater.
In addition, by using the gaseous propane as the heat transfer medium in the first vaporizer, it is possible to vaporize natural gas using a significantly smaller amount of propane than seawater, thereby significantly reducing the volume of the liquefied natural gas regasification system. It works.
