  1. Chen (Bill C.M.), Houston, TX (United States)

Heat balance design and modifications to related systems are studied for an FSO vessel of 400 KDWT. The vessel as envisioned is a converted ultra-large crude carrier (ULCC) built in the 1970`s. The vessel and affiliated installations form a crude oil exporting facility. A vessel operation scenario with assumed data is introduced. Based on the scenario, the preliminary heat balance design for the vessel`s steam power plant is presented. The design dictates several modifications to pertinent systems of the original ULCC.
