Christian, W

Process control of a baseload LNG plant is not complicated. The material cost for the analog instrumentation and digital computer is only 3.3Vertical Bar3< of the project material cost, excluding the storage tanks and unloading dock. Measurement and analysis of LNG at large flow rates presently are not available in the accuracies required by the industry. Conscientious operation of a baseload plant is essential due to the intricacies involved with handling such large volumes of liquid.
