  • Patent number: 9593883
    Abstract: Liquid carbon dioxide separated from sour gas is expanded by throttling decompression and is gas-liquid separated at a low temperature so as to be supplied for shipping or the improvement of petroleum recovery. Methane generated from a stranded gas well is allowed to pass as a coolant through liquid carbon dioxide separated and discharged from sour gas generated from the stranded gas well so as to cool liquid carbon dioxide. Disclosed is a module for treating carbon dioxide, and a treatment method thereof for supplying liquid carbon dioxide at a proper temperature and state conditions when there is a need for liquid carbon dioxide of very low temperature for the storage or collection of carbon dioxide, the improvement of petroleum recovery, or the like by cooling carbon dioxide using a material separated from sour gas of a stranded gas well as a coolant.

  • Publication number: 20160159450
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a floating structure and a temperature control method of a floating structure. In more detail, the floating structure includes a cofferdam provided between a plurality of LNG storage tanks installed in at least one row in a length direction of a hull, in which a temperature of the cofferdam is controlled to be temperature below 0° C. to decrease a boil-off rate (BOR) generated by transferring heat from the cofferdam into the plurality of LNG storage tanks.

  • Patent number: 9180938
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a liquefied gas storage tank and a marine structure including the same. The storage tank includes a plurality of liquefied gas storage tanks received in a plurality of spaces defined in a hull of the marine structure by a cofferdam and arranged in two rows. The cofferdam includes at least one longitudinal cofferdam extending in a longitudinal direction of the hull and at least one transverse cofferdam extending in a transverse direction of the hull. Each of the storage tanks is sealed and thermally insulated by a sealing wall and a thermal insulation wall extending without being disconnected. The longitudinal cofferdam supports load of an upper structure while suppressing a sloshing phenomenon.

  • Publication number: 20140196474
    Abstract: Provided are a cold heat recovery apparatus using an LNG fuel and a liquefied gas carrier, in which costs involved in the installation and operation of a reliquefying facility can be reduced by recovering and utilizing cold heat of the LNG fuel when boil-off gas of liquefied gas as a cargo is reliquefied, and energy saving and reduction of environmental pollutants can be achieved because additional energy is not consumed in a reliquefaction process. A cold heat recovery apparatus for processing boil-off gas generated in a liquefied gas tank by using cold heat of an LNG fuel includes cold heat usage means using cold heat of an LNG supplied from an LNG fuel tank storing an LNG as a fuel to an engine, so as to processing the boil-off gas generated in the liquefied gas tank.
