  • Patent number: 10247359
    Abstract: A liquefied natural gas transportation/distribution and vaporization management system includes a transportation/distribution platform, on which at least one gas transportation/distribution section, a vaporization treatment section, and a central management section are arranged. The gas transportation/distribution section allows at least one liquefied natural gas train to unload liquefied natural gas. The vaporization treatment section is connected to the gas transportation/distribution section. The vaporization treatment section includes therein at least one fuel cell module, so that heat exchange may be conducted with byproduct of thermal energy and water generated in a power generation operation of the fuel cell module to vaporize liquefied natural gas from the gas transportation/distribution section and to feed the vaporized natural gas into a local area gas supply pipeline or a temporary gas storage section for storage and for feeding to the fuel cell module of the vaporization treatment section.
