Abstract

Floating LNG is a new concept which is used as LNG regasification/receiving facility and for LNG production/export facility. LNG Floating Production Storage and Offloading(FPSO) concept will put vitality into marginal gas fields which were delayed because of excessive investment cost in the world. LNG Floating Storage Regasification Unit(FSRU) also provides commercially competitive and effective solutions to the areas where onshore infrastructure is not well established. LNG cargo containment system is one of the key functions for FLNG to store produced LNG on a floating structure. This paper presents a new technology related to a LNG containment system; a combined cargo containment system utilizing the advantages of iIndependent tank type and membrane system. Technical advantages have been validated through research work.

플로팅 엘엔지선박은 해상에서 LNG 생산 및 천연 가스 공급을 담당하는 새로운 개념으로 부유식 생산설비는 과도한 투자 비용으로 인해 개발 지연중인 한계 가스전에 활력을 주고 있으며, 부유식 공급설비는 육상 LNG 인수기지 인프라가 미비한 지역에 에너지를 경제적이며 효과적으로 공급할 수 있다는 장점을 제공하고 있다. LNG 화물창은 플로팅 엘엔지선박에서 생산 또는 적재된 LNG를 보관하는 주요기능 중 하나이다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 화물창 시스템들의 장점을 결합한 복합 화물창 시스템을 화물창 시스템의 설계 개선방안으로 제안하였고 플로팅 엘엔지선박에의 적용 타당성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.
