Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating a liquefied natural gas (LNG) stream, the method at least comprising the steps of: (a) supplying a stream comprising LNG as at least two separate streams to a vessel comprising a contacting zone, a first stream being fed above the contacting zone and a second stream being fed below the contacting zone; (b) supplying a stream comprising an inert fluid to the vessel; (c) contacting at least the first stream supplied in step (a) with the stream supplied in step (b) in the contacting zone, thereby obtaining an LNG stream being enriched in inert fluid; and (d) removing the LNG stream obtained in step (c) from the vessel.

Abstract: An offshore liquefied natural gas floating storage regasification unit that may receive, store, and process liquefied natural gas from carriers. A floating storage regasification unit may include transfer equipment to offload liquefied natural gas from a carrier, a first mooring system to provide for mooring of a floating storage regasification unit at a location in a body of water, a second mooring system to provide for mooring a carrier to the floating storage regasification unit, and combinations thereof. A portion of the floating storage regasification unit may be composed of a double-hull containment structure.
