Since Pyoungtaek thermal power plant began using natural gas in 1986, the annual using volume has rapidly increased and reached 12.7 million tons in 1999. When the natural gas is cooled to a temperature of approximately -162$^{\circ}$C at atmospheric pressure, it condenses to a liquid called liquefied natural gas(LNG). LNG has a special characters such as odorless, colorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic. So, LNG storage tank, tanker ship, transfer pipelines are required the special storage and transportation systems and technology. The presently operating LNG terminals are Pyongtaek and Inchon terminals. A total of 19 above-ground LNG storage tanks(100 thousand ㎘ grade) are currently in operation with a sendout capacity of 4,360tons/hour. To meet the growing domestic demand of LNG supply, the Inchon receiving terminal is expanding(six in-ground tank) and constructing a third LNG terminal at Tongyong. In this paper, case study on seepage analysis and countermeasure against increasing the seepage volume of in-ground LNG storage tank excavation work is reported. The results of an additional seepage analysis are presented to verify the design seepage volume of assumption section and seepage volume after curtain-grouting in the slurry wall.

LNG 저장탱크의 주요 구조인 멤브레인은 LNG 누설을 방지하기 위하여 설계되었다. 멤브레인 유닛은 $-162^{\circ}C$의 액화시킨 LNG의 접촉에 따라 발생하는 가스압, 액압, 그리고 열하중을 지지하도록 설계되므로 멤브레인 구조의 강도를 실험적 방법을 이용하여 측정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 상용 전기저항식 스트레인 게이지와 자체적으로 제작한 기계적 열 변형 측정 장치를 이용한 변형 측정 시스템을 제안하였다.

The LNG carriers have been propelled by steam turbines and the LNG boil-off(BOG) has been used as fuel or vented. However, as the alternative propulsion systems such as diesel engines are being equipped on the LNG carriers for better fuel efficiency, a need for the LNG BOG re-liquefaction system that liquefies the BOG and sends the liquid BOG back to the LNG cargo has arisen in recent years. This study investigates the design of the BOG re-liquefaction system based on the reverse Brayton refrigeration cycle. The thermodynamic and heat exchanger analysis are carried out and the limitations to the system performance are discussed.

당사에서는 액체산소 (LOX)와 액체메탄 (LNG)를 추진제로 사용하며, 고성능의 터보펌프가 장착된 추력 10톤급 액체로켓 엔진의 개발에 성공하였다. 이러한 개발 성공은 액체메탄을 이용한 재생냉각에 대한 성능 입증, 액체산소와 액체메탄으로 구동되는 터보펌프에 대한 성능 입증, 가스발생기에 의한 터보펌프의 구동 및 추진제 가압 성능 확인, 등을 완벽히 구현함으로써 메탄 엔진 (CHASE-10)의 상업화에 보다 근접하였다고 할 수 있다.

Korea Gas Corporation(KOGAS) is a Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) supplier through out the Korea. LNG, which is imported wholly from foreign countries, is compressed 1/600 for easy transportation and is stored in a liquid state in the storage tanks at Incheon, Pyeongtaek and Tongyeong. At LNG receiving terminals, LNG is vaporized to natural gas before supplying to City Gas Consumer of Power Plant. The secondary pump is a equipment which compress LNG from 1- kgf/cm2 to 70 kgf/cm2. The secondary pump at Tongyeong LNG receiving terminal is consisted of two pumps in one underground PIT, and is connected to supporting structures. It is therefore expected that there is a vibration problem whit the pump and was found that high level vibration was occurred in a low frequency band($5^{\sim}10Hz$). In this paper, the vibration of secondary pump was analyzed, and the main cause of vibration was found out.

Natural gas, which is getting more important as a fuel, should be liquefied and shipped in a special tank. During transportation, a spill of liquefied natural gas(LNG) could occur by a collision or even an accident. As a result, violent explosion called the superheat-limit explosion(SLE) can take place in some cases, unexpectedly. Such explosion may result from the formation of a superheated liquid which has attained the superheat-limit temperature when hot(water) and cold(LNG) liquids come into contact. Natural gas mixtures can be considered as discrete light components plus continuous heavy fractions where several continuous distribution function can be adopted. This work is aiming at prediction of the superheat-limit explosion condition by suing continuous thermodynamics development of algorithm to predict.

As a fuel for ship propulsion, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is currently considered a proven and reasonable solution for meeting the IMO emission regulations, with gas engines for the LNG-fueled ship covering a broad range of power outputs. For an LNG-fueled ship, the LNG bunkering process is different from the HFO bunkering process, in the sense that the cryogenic liquid transfer generates a considerable amount of boil-off gas (BOG). This study investigated the effect of the temperature difference on boil-off gas (BOG) production during ship-to-ship (STS) LNG bunkering to the receiving tank of the LNG-fueled ship. A concept design was resumed for the cargo/fuel tanks in the LNG bunkering vessel and the receiving vessel, as well as for LNG handling systems. Subsequently, the storage tank capacities of the LNG were $4,500m^3$ for the bunkering vessel and $700m^3$ for the receiving vessel. Process dynamic simulations by Aspen HYSYS were performed under several bunkering scenarios, which demonstrated that the boil-off gas and resulting pressure buildup in the receiving vessel were mainly determined by the temperature difference between bunkering and the receiving tank, pressure of the receiving tank, and amount of remaining LNG.

최근 천연가스에 대한 수요가 높아지면서 이를 저장하기 위한 LNG 탱크의 건설이 증가하고 있다. LNG는 효율적인 저장을 위해 극저온의 유체로 액화되므로, LNG 탱크의 결함으로 인한 LNG 유출은 막대한 피해를 야기할 수 있다. 많은 연구자들이 다양한 LNG 유출 상황에 대하여 발생가능 한 피해 영향을 평가하였으나, 극저온의 LNG 유체가 유출될 경우 LNG 탱크를 지지하고 있는 지반에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 제한적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LNG 탱크 및 지반의 다양한 조건을 고려하여 LNG 유출에 따른 동결 지반의 역학적, 열적 거동 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 유출 시나리오의 구현을 위해 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 상재하중, 온도 경계조건, 흙의 동결 민감성 변화에 따른 지반과 기초구조물 거동을 조사하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 LNG 유출 이후 지반의 단기 및 장기 온도변화를 평가하였으며, 지반 동결에 따른 간극 및 연직변위 변화를 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 천연가스 액화 플랜트 산업에서의 핵심 기술인 액화공정 개발을 위해 두 가지 2단 압축 방식의 액화 사이클의 성능을 시뮬레이션 하였다. Process1은 케스케이드 액화공정을 기초로 하여 프로판, 에틸렌, 메탄 사이클 모두 인터쿨러가 적용된 것이다. Process 2는 위의 공정에 메탄과 에틸렌 사이클 사이에 액-가스 열교환기를 적용하였고, Process 3은 위의 공정에 에틸렌과 프로판 사이클 사이에 액-가스 열교환기를 추가로 적용하였으며, 인터쿨러를 적용한 케스케이드 공정과 성능을 비교하였다. Process 2의 COP는 Process 1보다 14.0%정도 높게 나타났고, LNG 단위 생산량 당 소비 동력은 11.5% 정도 낮게 나타났다.
