Description

Description of the Related Art A Treatment System Liquefied Gas

The present invention relates to a liquefied gas processing system.

Liquefied natural gas (Liquefied natural gas), Liquefied petroleum gas (Liquefied petroleum gas) and other liquefied gas are widely used in place of gasoline or diesel in recent technology development.

Liquefied natural gas is a liquefied natural gas obtained by refining natural gas collected from a gas field. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with almost no pollutants and high calorific value. It is an excellent fuel. On the other hand, liquefied petroleum gas is a liquid fuel made from compressed propane (C ₃ H ₈ ) and butane (C ₄ H ₁₀ ), which are derived from petroleum in oil field, at room temperature. Liquefied petroleum gas, like liquefied natural gas, is colorless and odorless and is widely used as fuel for household, business, industrial, and automotive use.

Such liquefied gas is stored in a liquefied gas storage tank installed on the ground or stored in a liquefied gas storage tank provided in a ship which is a means of transporting the ocean. The liquefied natural gas is liquefied to a volume of 1/600 The liquefaction of liquefied petroleum gas has the advantage of reducing the volume of propane to 1/260 and the content of butane to 1/230, resulting in high storage efficiency.

However, since the liquefied gas is kept in a liquefied state by increasing the pressure or lowering the temperature, it is important to secure the heat insulating property of the liquefied gas storage tank because the phase change due to external heat penetration is a concern. However, since the liquefied gas storage tank can not achieve perfect heat insulation, a part of the liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas storage tank is phase-changed into the evaporated gas which is the gas by heat transmitted from the outside.

When the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank exceeds the pressure that can be tolerated by the liquefied gas storage tank, the liquefied gas storage tank The tank may be damaged.

Therefore, conventionally, in order to keep the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank at a constant level, a method has been used in which the evaporation gas is discharged to the outside to lower the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank, if necessary. Or the evaporation gas was discharged to the outside of the liquefied gas storage tank, and then liquefied by using a separate liquefaction device and then recovered again into the liquefied gas storage tank.

However, when the evaporation gas is merely discharged to the outside, a problem of contamination of the external environment may occur, and in the case of using the re-liquefaction device, there arises a problem such as a cost and manpower required for installing and operating the liquefaction device. Therefore, it is required to develop an effective treatment method of the evaporation gas generated by external heat penetration.

In addition, the liquefied gas storage tank maintains a state of being higher than the temperature of the liquefied gas in which the internal temperature is injected by natural thermal infiltration from the outside while being empty, and bunching the liquefied gas from the main source to the liquefied gas storage tank, The liquefied gas supplied to the liquefied gas storage tank is vaporized to generate a large amount of boil-off gas (BOG). In the conventional method, the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank amplified by the generated vapor gas In order to reduce the risk of damaging the tank, the evaporation gas is merely discharged to the outside or burned, but the evaporation gas can not be utilized at all, resulting in a waste of energy. Therefore, there is a need to develop an effective treatment method of evaporated gas generated in the liquefied gas storage tank at the time of liquefying gas bunkering.
