9% nickel alloy steels used for LNG, cryogenic liquid, storage tank are welded with dissimilar Inconel or Hastelloy welding rod and the weldment shows similar characteristic with the dissimilar metal weld of low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel. Band type indications are sometimes shown on the film during radiography test of the weldments. Thus this study identified whether the indications are non-relevant indications through material, radiographic test, ultrasonic test, liquid penetrant test and microstructure analysis and also proposed radiography film interpretation and cause of band type indications.

The Boil-Off-Gases(BOG) in the LNG production terminal are continuously generated during the unloading, storage and supply processes by the heat penetration. In order to use these gases as useful fuel, the reliquefaction process should be installed to put the reliquefied BOG in the main LNG supply line before the secondary pump in terminal. The current reliquefaction method of BOG in LNG terminal is the direct contact one between LNG and BOG in the absorption column. But the system has severe disadvantage, which is the 10 times of LNG circulation needed for unit mass of BOG reliquefaction. It causes, therefore, high power consumption of LNG circulation pump and excessive city-gas supply, even if short demand of NG is needed in the summer time. In this paper, the new reliquefaction system of BOG by using LNG cold energy with indirect contact in precooler was suggested and analysed. The result showed new indirect contact method of BOG reliquefaction system between LNG cold energy and BOG is much more effective than the current direct contact one because of only about 1.3 times of LNG circulation needed and higher energy saving by pump power reduction.

기존에 사용중인 저압용 벤튜리 타입 혼합기는 0.32kg/cm2에서 열리고 0.28kg/cm2에서 닫히도록 설정되어 있다. 이 방식은 증가하는 도시가스 공급량을 따라갈 수 없기 때문에 강제 혼합기를 개발 현장에 적용하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해서 개발하고자하는 강제 혼합기는 제어밸브을 통하여 가스 62.5%, 압축공기 37.5%의 비율로 희석하여 서지탱크로 보내진다. 완성된 혼합기를 이용한 열량실험 결과 유량이 변하여도 일정한 열량이 나옴을 알 수 있었다.

석탄을 합성석유로 전환시키는 석탄액화(CTL) 공장은 2차 세계대전시 독일 및 영국에서 가동되어 대량의 연료를 공급한 바 있다. 전후 대형 유전이 발견되어 값싼 석유가 공급되면서 CTL 공장의 운전은 중단되었다. 남아프리카공화국의 Sasol사만이 유일하게 1955년에 CTL공장의 조업을 시작하여 현재 하루 15만배럴의 석탄합성석유를 생산하고 있다. 최근 고유가가 지속되고 석유공급에 대한 불안감 때문에 여러 개의 석탄액화 프로젝트가 진행되고 있다. 중국은 2030년까지 석탄합성석유를 연간 3천만톤(60만배렬/일) 생산할 계획을 수립하였고, 2만배럴/일 규모의 석탄직접액화공장이 2008년 완공될 예정이다. 미국에서도 8개의 CTL 프로젝트가 진행되고 있다. 호주, 필리핀, 인도네시아, 인도 등에서도 석탄액화 프로젝트를 추진하고 있다. 석유를 전량 수입하는 우리나라도 에너지안보 차원에서 CTL에 대한 접근이 필요하다. 본고에서는 한국에너지기술연구원에서 추진되고 있는 석탄 기준 10톤/일급 석탄 합성석유 생산 공정 설계, 설비 시공 현황 및 향후 계획에 대하여 기술하였다.

Natural gas hydrates (NGH) provide 170 gas volumes per unit volume of the medium and are easier to make with moderate pressure and temperature (40 bar at 3 C). Once they form, their preservation temperature is 20 C at 1 bar, which is much milder than the LNG preservation. In case of using the NGH, The small and medium sized gas well has advantages for development because of NGH's these characteristics. According to the cost evaluation report of Gudmundsson in Norway and the research of MES in Japan, the gas well that uses the NGH has a cost saving effect about 10~20% compared LNG. The effect depends on distance and production. However, cost saving and efficiency of liquefaction process is increased by the development of LNG liquefaction technology. Therefore, these factors have to be reflected in economic analysis. The purpose of this research is to compare the cost of Gas Supply Chain according to the transport type, distance and gas reserves. Especially, we consider not only the cost of facility but also the total cost (production cost, transport cost, etc).

This work describes analysis on the effect of inlet air cooling by the cold energy of liquefied natural gas(LNG) on the performance of gas turbines. Gas turbine off-design analysis program to simulate the influence of compressor inlet temperature variation is prepared and an inlet air cooler is modeled. It is shown that the degree of power augmentation is much affected by the humidity of inlet air. If the humidity is low enough, that is the water content of the air does not condense, the temperature drop amounts to $18^{\circ}C$, which corresponds to more than 12% power increase, in case of a $1350^{\circ}C$ class gas turbine with methane as the fuel. Even with 60% humidity, about 8% power increase is possible. It is found that even though the fuel contains as much as 20% ethane in addition to methane, the power improvement does not change considerably. It is observed that if the humidity is not too high, the current system is feasible oven with conceivable air pressure loss at the inlet air cooler.

The Boil-off gas (BOG) generation during the voyage is inevitable since Natural Gas (NG) in normally liquefied below -160 degree C in atmosphere condition and small heat ingress due to relatively hot outside keeps evaporating continuously. The one of major issue in LNG carriers is to handle generated BOG from cargo tank. The generated BOG affects to increase the cargo tank pressure and Gas Management System (GMS) for LNG carriers is closely related to cargo tank pressure maintenance. Economically, BOG is generally used as fuel in LNG carrier. Newly developed GMS for LNG carrier in boiler propulsion system, VaCo System, not only accomplish automatic control in GMS but also ensure safer operation.

LNG Vaporizers must be smaller, more efficient, and easier to operate and maintain. Recently, the vaporizers with greatly enhanced performance as compared to conventional type, have been developed to fulfill these requirements. The vaporizing characteristic of LNG vaporizer with air as heat source has fixed ice. These characteristic has efficient down and total plant cost and installing space can be increase. On that reasons must be optimize through tube and pipes analysis and experiments with enhanced type in this study. In this study performance to the workong characteristics for air heating type vaporizer for super low temperature liquefied gas.

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.
