  • Publication number: 20180238617
    Abstract: Provided is a partial reliquefaction system including a boil-off gas (BOG) compression system receiving a BOG exiting from a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank, a high-pressure compression section receiving a BOG stream from the BOG compression system, a heat exchanger effectuating a temperature drop of the BOG stream, an expander receiving the cooled BOG stream after passing through the heat exchanger, and a separator vessel for receiving a gas/liquid mixture, wherein a gas portion of the gas/liquid mixture is recirculated through the heat exchanger to act as the cooling medium for the heat exchanger.
