The process of separating oxygen and nitrogen from the air is mainly performed by electric liquefaction, which consumes a lot of electricity, resulting in higher operating costs. On the other hand, when used for cold energy of LNG, electric power can be reduced compared to the electric Linde cycle. Currently, LNG cold energy is used in the cold refrigeration warehouse, separation of air-liquefaction, and LNG cold energy generation in Japan. In this study, the system using LNG cold energy and the Linde cycle process system were simulated by PRO/II simulators, respectively, to cool the elevated air temperature from the compressor to about $-183^{\circ}C$ in the air liquefaction separation process. The required amount of electricity was compared with the latent heat utilization fraction of LNG, the LNG supply pressure, and the LNG cold energy usage. At the air flow rate of $17,600m^3/h$, the power source unit of the Linde cycle system was $0.77kWh/m^3$, compared with $0.3kWh/m^3$.

In this study, computer simulation works using PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 have been performed for a cascade refrigeration cycle using methane, ethylene and propane as refrigerants. LNG cold heat was also utilized in order to save the compression powers for the ethylene and propane refrigeration cycles. It was concluded that about 77% of compression power can be saved by using LNG cold heat through the exchanging heat with refrigerants. We could also know that the cold heat price contained in 1 ton of LNG is 16,155 won.

In this work, a study for the reduction of the electric power consumption has been estimated in main air compressors in the air separation unit through cryogenic distillation columns with PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 at AVEVA company. Both required LNG mass flow rate and cold heat contained in 1 ton of LNG were also predicted using Peng-Robinson equation of state with Twu's new alpha function. Through this work, we concluded that 32.33-48.69% of electric power could be saved by using LNG cold heat.

In this study, computer simulation and optimization works have been performed for a refrigeration cycle using ammonia as a refrigerant and also how much power was saved when the liquefied natural gas cold heat is replaced for the refrigeration cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider electric company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model was selected for the modeling of the refrigeration cycle and LNG cold heat utilization process.

In this study, comparison study has been performed between two-stage compression and a vapor-recompression refrigeration cycle and a liquefaction using LNG cold heat. When using a first method using two-stage compression and a refrigeration cycle, at least three compressors are required, however when using LNG cold heat, no compressor is required since carbon dioxide can be pumped after condensing with the heat exchange with -160℃ of LNG. Through this study, we can save more than one hundred million KRW annually by using LNG cold heat instead of using gas compression and refrigeration cycle.

Comparative studies between single- and two-stage expansion process using LNG cold heat have been performed for a closed Rankine power generation cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider Electric Company was used, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling and optimization of the power generation cycle using LNG cold heat. In two-stage power generation cycle, 6.7% more power was obtained compared to that of single-stage power generation cycle through the optimization works.

In this paper, cold heat price contained in the 1 ton/h of LNG has been evaluated using PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.2 from Aveva company when LNG is used to liquefy several refrigerants instead of using vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. Normal butane, R134a, NH3, R22, propane and propylene refrigerants were selected for the modeling of refrigeration cycle. It was concluded that LNG cold heat price was inversely proportional to the refrigerant supply temperature, even though LNG supply flow rate is not varied according to the refrigerant supply temperature.

In this paper, three kinds of studies have been completed to obtain highly purified carbon dioxide having more than 7N purity as an electronic grade quality. PRO/II with PROVISION release January 2023 from AVEVA company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling of the cryogenic distillation process. When using LN2 cold heat, we can obtain highest recovery of carbon dioxide as a bottom product for a cryogenic distillation column.

In this paper, computer modeling works have been performed for the power generation Rankine cycle using new working fluids and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold heat. PRO/II with PROVISION released January 2023 from AVEVA company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling of the power generation cycle. Optimal working fluid composition was determined to maximize LNG cold heat to increase power generation efficiency and net power production.
