Description
The present invention relates to an LNG storage tank assembly having a BOG reduction system and an LNG ship having the BOG reduction system. More particularly, the present invention relates to an LNG storage tank assembly having a BOG reduction system, Therefore, the BOG reduction system for lowering the temperature of the inert gas to the set temperature can be operated to improve the insulation performance and effectively reduce and suppress the BOG.
Generally, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is obtained by cooling natural gas to approximately -163 ° C, and its volume is considerably reduced compared with that in a gaseous state, which makes it suitable for remote transportation for marine applications.
These LNGs are transported to the off-shore sites through the sea using LNG vessels. LNG vessels are equipped with LNG storage tanks that can withstand the extreme temperatures of LNG. Furthermore, LNG storage tanks are installed not only in the aforementioned LNG carriers but also in offshore structures.
Generally, in the case of an LNG ship, a ballast tank filled with ballast is disposed between the LNG storage tank and the wall of the hull. A tank holding space in which an inert gas is filled in a sealed state is provided between the ballast tank and the LNG storage tank.
In other words, the inert gas of the tank holding space and the ballast water of the ballast tank have a commonality in the heat insulating function for preventing the external heat from being transferred to the LNG storage tank. Especially, the inert gas prevents the fire due to LNG leakage Function.
However, despite the presence of the ballast tank filled with the tank holding space filled with the inert gas and the ballast water as described above, the temperature of the inert gas rises due to the heat transmitted from the outside, thereby increasing the vaporization of the LNG, -Off Gas, hereinafter referred to as "BOG").
As described above, the BOG generated from the LNG storage tank causes the explosion by increasing the pressure in the LNG storage tank. In addition, since the flow of the LNG is accelerated according to the fluctuation of the ship, It is necessary to reduce and inhibit it.
In general, BOG is discharged to the outside of the LNG storage tank to be burnt by a method for treating BOG generated in the LNG storage tank, and BOG is discharged to the outside of the LNG storage tank to re-liquefy, And how to use the BOG as a fuel in a ship's generator or propulsion.
However, when the BOG is excessively generated in the LNG storage tank, the generator or the propulsion engine of the ship can not consume 100% of the BOG. Therefore, the BOG is consumed as the fuel to consume 100% of the BOG There is a problem in that it is necessary to unnecessarily operate various other devices.
As described above, the conventional BOG processing method is merely a passive processing method that expects the fuel saving effect by re-storing the BOG generated by re-liquefying the generated BOG or by using BOG as fuel instead of substantially reducing and suppressing the occurrence of BOG.
