Introduction
Workshop 1: Latest Advancements in Regasifiers
Regasification of LNG continues to be an area of
active technical investment. Some new designs propose
to beef up old technologies like ambient-air exchangers
while others intend to treat exhaust gases from submerged-combustion
vaporizers or effluent from seawater exchangers. Capital
costs for revaporizers for a 1.0 Bcfd terminal can range
from $25 million for submerged-combustion or water-glycol
shell-and-tube systems to as much as twice that for
natural-draft ambient air systems. This workshop will
review the latest technical development for a range
of regasification options. Click

Workshop 2: Cryogenic Piping for LNG Terminals -
Advancing the Limits for Transfer
New cryogenic piping is reported to provide such
an improvement over conventional foam-insulated lines
that LNG can be transported two to three miles without
significant heat loss and vaporization. Consequently,
ships might be offloaded remotely from shore-based facilities,
eliminating the need for a jetty, alleviating marine
traffic and enhancing safety by separating the ship
from the shore-based facilities and storage. What are
the various designs and costs and benefits of cryogenic
piping? Can it indeed transport LNG without significant
vaporization? What have been the first applications?
How has it performed? What might a remote offloading
system look like? These are some of the questions before
this workshop. Click here for
