LNG Liquefaction and Regasification
Specialized LNG Experience When it comes to regasification terminals, we are able to perform an equipment layout and rough cost estimate as part of a conceptual design package. A conceptual process design would include key features such as BOG (boil-off gas) suppression, reloading capability (if required), firewater minimization, electrical usage minimization, and tank sizing, in addition to any other process features required by the client. For LNG receiving terminals PROCESS is able to provide items such as: major equipment lists, layout and cost estimates with semi-detailed unit
costs and assembly level line items. |
PROCESS is familiar with the following additional aspects of industrial process projects: Procedures Documentation Layouts Cost estimates Design standards Hazards identification (HAZOP) Process safety program support (PSM and RMP) Electrical/civil/mechanical/process/piping interfacing Vendor interface Cause & effects Alarm Rationalization SIS/SIL (for High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems) |

LNG Systems ExperienceLNG facilities utilize a number of challenging compression and refrigeration systems. Dynamic simulation (dynamic compression evaluation programs) help ensure systems are protected and adequately designed for frequent start up and shut down under a variety of load conditions. Here are some examples of common LNG subsystems: Process Systems

Taking Advantage of LNG OpportunitiesWith today's demand for clean burning, easily transportable fuels, LNG is rapidly becoming a fuel of choice for many applications. In this environment, plant operators and their engineering/construction partners must be able to design robust facilities accurately and efficiently. PROCESS has over 50 process engineers ready to assist by providing process chemical engineering expertise throughout the course of your next project. |
