Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a BOG processing system and method, and more particularly, to a BOG processing system and method configured to efficiently retrieve BOG.
In general, natural gas is transported in the form of gas through land or sea gas pipelines, or transported to a remote location where it is stored in an LNG carrier in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG is obtained by cooling natural gas at a cryogenic temperature (approximately -163 ° C), and its volume is reduced to approximately 1/600 of that of natural gas, making it well suited for long distance transport through the sea.
The LNG-RV (LNG-Regasification Vessel), which is used to transport LNG, transports LNG to the sea, arrives at the land area, reloads the stored LNG and unloads it in natural gas. To this end, pump, and high-pressure vaporizer (HP Vaporizer). In the regeneration process, BOG (Boil-Off Gas, hereinafter referred to as "BOG") is generated due to heat intrusion. The internal pressure of the cargo tank increases due to the generation of BOG, However, it becomes difficult to manage natural gas efficiently. Therefore, a device for processing BOG is needed to solve this problem.
As a conventional BOG processing apparatus, there is an evaporation gas processing apparatus and method for reducing the re-liquefying power consumption amount of Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0118988. A liquefaction device for re-liquefying the evaporation gas generated in the storage tank and returning the evaporation gas to the storage tank; and an evaporator for supplying the evaporation gas supplied from the storage tank to the re-liquefier, And a heat exchanger for cooling by heat exchange with the liquefied gas from the tank. And the evaporated gas cooled while passing through the heat exchanger is supplied from the storage tank to the recondenser through a branch line branching from a first supply line for supplying an evaporative gas to the re-liquefier, the evaporated gas supplied to the recondenser Is re-condensed by receiving the cold heat of the liquefied gas from the storage tank.
However, in the conventional BOG treatment apparatus, the use of the recondenser requires a lot of cost for the installation of the recondenser, thereby causing a problem of high cost of the BOG treatment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to efficiently recover BOG, reduce installation cost, and facilitate pressure control inside a cargo tank.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a suction drum, comprising: a suction drum installed in a ship and temporarily storing LNG supplied from a cargo tank storing LNG;
An LNG pump for pumping LNG supplied from the suction drum;
A heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the LNG transported by the LNG pump and the BOG supplied from the cargo tank; And
And a compressor for compressing the BOG to be supplied to the heat exchanger,
The BOG cooled in the heat exchanger is recovered in the cargo tank and mixed with the LNG in the center of the cargo tank to be liquefied.
Preferably, the compressor is a low duty compressor, and the BOG can be compressed to a pressure of 1.5 to 2.5 bara.
The system may further include a recovery line extending to the center of the cargo tank so that the BOG cooled in the heat exchanger is recovered to the center of the cargo tank.
Preferably, the apparatus further includes a vaporizer installed at a rear end of the heat exchanger to vaporize the LNG passed through the heat exchanger.
Preferably, the suction drum, the LNG pump, and the heat exchanger may be installed in a supply line for regenerating LNG from an LNG-RV (LNG-Regasification Vessel) equipped with the cargo tank and unloading the LNG in a natural gas state have.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a cargo tank, comprising the steps of: 1) discharging BOG generated in a cargo tank to the outside and compressing the BOG;
2) heat-exchanging the compressed BOG with the LNG; And
3) introducing BOG cooled by heat exchange into the center of the cargo tank and liquefying it by mixing with LNG in the cargo tank.
Preferably, the BOG generated in the cargo tank is discharged to the outside, compressed to a pressure of 1.5 to 2.5 bara, and then heat-exchanged with the LNG.
According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently recover the BOG, reduce the cost required for the installation, make it economical and easy to control the pressure inside the cargo tank, utilize the LNG to vaporize the BOG, By utilizing the heat of BOG to vaporize LNG, it is possible to construct an efficient system.
