Abstract
DME(Dimethyl ether) is the one of the massive energy sources synthesized from natural gas. KOGAS has already developed the commercial-scale production plant of DME and has been doing to obtain overseas resources to meet the domestic needs. This paper presents the DME storage tank design criteria by stress and strain analysis, and the experimental study on the evaporation phenomena of DME by thermal intake and physical rolling movement of DME FPSO or cargo vessel, because the various moving motions along with heat intake cause the evaporation of low temperature liquid. The experimental result shows that the evaporation rate was increased with larger rolling degree and higher liquid level. The rolling motion leads to evaporate about 20% increase with 15 degree rolling based on the evaporation quantity without rolling.
