Publication number: 20100083670Abstract: A method for vaporizing and heating a cryogenic fluid such as a liquefied natural gas, to a desired temperature in the ambient temperature range. The method comprises using an intermediate heat exchange fluid such as propane to heat the liquefied natural gas and to utilize the cold potential of the liquefied natural gas to produce power. The heat exchange fluid is heated by a heat source, such as warm or hot water available from an industrial process. The heat exchange fluid is pressurized and heated to form a heat exchange vapor. The heat exchange vapor is split into multiple streams that exchange heat with the cryogenic fluid in series fashion so that the cryogenic fluid is vaporized and heated to the desired temperature in stages using a common heat exchange fluid and heat source.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Sunil Dutt, Crystal Elaine Ramon

Publication number: 20080148771Abstract: A process and apparatus is provided for reducing the heating value of imported LNG by removing natural gas liquid products while condensing boil-off gas. The LNG is pumped from a storage container and is then heated by cross exchange to a dew point temperature. A portion of this heated LNG is sent out to be vaporized while the remaining portion is further heated by cross exchange with demethanizer overhead vapors and is then sent as feed to the demethanizer. NGL is recovered at the bottom of the demethanizer, and the overhead vapors are mixed with boil off gas coming from the LNG storage container. These mixed vapors are condensed by cross exchanging with the LNG feed portion and then pumped to pipeline pressure and sent to the gas pipeline through the vaporizers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2006Publication date: June 26, 2008Inventors: Carlos M.
