Low
Emissions with Advanced LNG Vaporization Processes Joseph
H. Cho, Ph.D., P.E. Technical Advisor - Process,
KBR Cho will
review the environmental issues imposed on LNG
vaporization and discuss the technical and economical
features of environmentally friendly vaporization
processes for open-rack vaporizers with seawater,
shell and tube vaporizers with closed-loop heating
medium circulation and reverse air heating, natural
draft ambient air vaporizers, shell and tube vaporizers
with closed loop heating medium circulation and
forced draft air heaters.

Latest in Emission
Controls for SCVs Frank
Maupay, LNG sales engineer, Selas Fluid, T-Thermal
Company, a division of Linde T-Thermal Company, a division
of Linde, has been working to lower NOx and CO emissions
and reduce of fuel costs through use of alternate
heat sources. The company originated the use of
submerged-combustion systems for LNG vaporization.
The speakers have been asked to describe these new
emission reduction techniques, their performance
at recent installations and their experience with
alternate heat sources.

Overview of ORV and IFV characteristics and
operation in LNG Receiving Terminals in Japan
and worldwide Masao
Endo, manager, Kobe Steel, Ltd. Kobe Steel is a supplier of LNG
vaporizers in the field of ORV (Open Rack vaporizer),
IFV (Intermediate fluid Type vaporizer) for LNG
receiving terminals. The majority of the LNG receiving
terminals outside of U.S. is using ORV and IFV
vaporizers. Endo will provide a comparison of
the vaporizers from various aspects, including
performance, safety and environmental impacts.

Forced-Air
Vaporizers: Low Operating Costs Ned
Baudat, midstream project management, Mustang
Engineering Baudat will discuss Mustang's "LNG
Smart" air-exchange vaporization process
for regasifying liquefied natural gas. This technology
can reduce fuel gas consumption and NOx and CO2
air emissions, as compared to conventional combustion
vaporization technology, depending on location.
The process can also be used in lieu of sea water
vaporization technology. It was designed to use
commercially available equipment and can be used
in new or existing facilities, onshore or offshore.
This process produces fresh water that is treatable
for potable consumption.

Heat-Integrated-Ambient-Air
LNG Vaporization Technology Martin J. Rosetta, Gas,
Oil, & Chemicals Division, Black & Veatch Black & Veatch has
developed a vaporization technology that integrates
waste-heat recovery with ambient-air vaporization.
The design is intended to reduce the impact of ambient
conditions on the normal operations of the facility
without significant increases in operating equipment.
Vacuum-Insulated
Pipe - Advantages & Challenges Relative to

Remote Loading Dock Alternatives Joe
Lovett , SBM One
of the benefits of cryogenic pipe is the distance
LNG can be transported without significant heat
absorbtion (heat leak). This may allow terminal
operators constrained by shored-based dock space
or channel traffic to locate loading or offloading
docks two to three kilometers offshore away from
congestion. SBM has designed an offshore docking
technology for such applications.
