Liquefied natural gas

OSTI ID:7140240
This book summarizes recent developments in the general area of natural gas liquefaction and use. Treatment is technical rather than theoretical and thermodynamics, economic evaluations, and statistical data are relegated to the appendixes. The main part of the review consists of an introduction dealing with the historical development of cryogenics and gas liquefaction and their application in the gas industry. It continues with an analysis of natural gas supply and demand and discusses the effect LNG will exert on the balance. Next follows a study of natural gas liquefaction methods and equipment. In subsequent sections methods and materials of construction for LNG carriers, for storage tanks and for re-gasification equipment, respectively, are reviewed with special attention paid to low temperature insulation and to the effects of cryogenic conditions on the structural strength of materials of construction. There follows a section dealing with actual and potential uses of LNG as a fuel and/or refrigerant and a chapter which discusses the safety of LNG installations and potential hazards which could arise due to its low temperature and flammability. A concluding section assesses developments of a technological nature that are expected to make their impact in the not too distant future.
