The simulation investigation on the availability of LNG plant with scenario of failure events and failure rate has been carried out. This study focuses on the availability, productivity, criticality induced by failure rate of major equipment. The methodologies for simulation such as the equipment classification of LNG plant and failure type and event schematic are established. The availability and mean time to repair have second order function profile in the all cases except general equipment, but these profiles have different inclination. The production and criticality of the specified LNG plant, simulated by Monte-Carlo algorithm, is located in the range of P = 86~92% and PL = 6~13%.

Due to the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) environmental regulations on NOx and SOx, LNG-fueled eco-friendly ships are gaining attention worldwide, and various eco-friendly ships are being proposed and demanded for conversion to eco-friendly ships in Korea, as the eco-friendly ship law has recently been enforced. In this study, the initial basic design was performed to convert an existing Marine Gas Oil (MGO) fueled ship into an LNG-DF propulsion ship, targeting medium-sized ship, to select the fuel tank capacity and main dimensions and appropriate fuel ratio between the two fuels. In particular, Sustainable basic design method considering environmental impact were proposed by performing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) throughout the design process, and various design options were compared and analyzed to meet different design conditions by applying them.

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).

DME (Di-Methyl Ether) is a new clean fuel and an environmental-friendly energy resource, also is recently increasing with an alternative interest because of the industrial use. DME has been shown to have excellent properties as a diesel fuel giving emission level better than ULEV standard. So it has been attracting considerable as an alternative diesel fuel. In this study, we carried out simulation of separation and purification process of demo plant for 101on per day DME production, which cause the effect that is important in productivity, from operation results of pilot plant for 50kg per day DME production. The liquefied stream, which was separated by gas-liquid separator after DME reactor, includes $CO_2$, DME, Methanol and $H_2O$. We established three distillation columns for separation and purification of the stream. $CO_2$ was extracted from the stream by first distillation column, DME was extracted by second column and Methanol was extracted by third column. We investigated and analyzed the effect which the actual operation variables cause in efficiency of process and optimized process, finally we got the DME of purity $100\%$.

본 연구는 9% 니켈강재식 LNG 저장탱크용 통합제어안전관리시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 새로운 통합제어안전관리 시스템은 기존의 측정 및 제어시스템에 비해 압력, 변위, 하중을 측정할 수 있는 장치를 추가하였다. 또한, 측정된 데이터는 새로운 제어장치와 안전관리 시스템에 의해 통합되고 분석하는 프로세스를 동시적으로 진행하는 것이다. 초대형 완전밀폐식 LNG 저장탱크의 안전성과 효율성을 증가시키기 위해 통합제어안전관리시스템은 압력계이지를 추가하고, 내부탱크의 외측벽과 스티프너, 톱거더의 용접지역, 코너 프로텍션 탱크의 외측벽에 새로운 변위센서/압력센서를 설치하였다. 변위센서와 하중센서는 내부탱크와 코너 프로텍션 탱크의 9% 니켈강재 구조물에 대한 파손징후를 제공할 수 있고, 내부탱크로부터 누설되는 LNG를 감시할 수 있다. 기존의 누설센서는 내부탱크와 코너 프로텍션 사이의 단열지역에 설치한 누설감지기에 의해 경고신호가 접수될 때까지도 9% 니켈강재 탱크의 파괴에 대한 적절한 정보를 제공하지 못한다는데 문제가 있다. 따라서, 새로운 통합제어안전관리시스템은 온도, 압력, 변위, 하중, LNG의 밀도 데이터를 수집하고 분석하기 위한 것으로, 탱크시스템의 안전성과 내부탱크의 누설을 제어하기 위한 시스템이다. 또한, 디지털 데이터는 9% 니켈강재로 제작한 탱크의 안전성에 관련된 변위와 하중, LNG의 액위와 밀도, 쿨다운 공정, 누설, 압력 등을 제어하기 위해 측정한다.

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.

In the adoption of a desalination system the most important factor is the cost of fresh water pro-duction. In general LNG is stored in a tank as a liquid state below $-162^{\circ}C$ When it is serviced however the LNG absorbs energy from a heat source and it is transformed to a high pressure gaseous state. During this process a huge amount of cold energy accumulated in cooling LNG is wasted. This wasted cold energycan be utilized to produce fresh water by using a sea water freez-ing desalination system. in order to develop a sea water freezing desalination system and to estab-lish its design technique qualitative and quantitative data regarding the freezing behavior of sea water is required in advance. The goals of this study are to reveal the freezing mechanisms of sea water in a cooled circular tube to measure the freezing rate and to investigate the freezing heat-transfer characteristics. The experimental results provide a general understanding of sea water freezing behavior in a cooled circular tube.

Hazard evaluation and FTA are performed as the first and the second step of QRA for a LNG storage tank. Hazards are identified using HAZOP. Each segment of the system is examined, and we list all possible deviations from normal operating conditions and how they might occur. The consequences on the process are assessed, and the means available to detect and correct the deviations are reviewed. The FTA is carried out to analyse the hazards identified from the HAZOP study. A top event is selected to be release of LNG. Then all combinations of individual failures that can lead to the hazardous event are shown in the logical format of the fault tree system.

This paper is to evaluate the fatigue strength of lap joints of materials applied to LNG carrier cargo containment of GAZ-TRANSPORT(GT) type, which was welded by manual and automatic TIG welding process. The thicknesses of lapped members were 1.5mm/1.5mm or 1.5mm/0.7mm in Invar to Invar joint, and 1.5mm/8.0mm in Invar to stainless steel joint, respectively. These lap joints were mainly applied to the membrance fabrication of GT-LNG carrier. Fatigue tests of Invar/Inar lap joints were conducted under the stress ratio R=0 at room temperature. The effect of mean stress and cumulative fatigue damage on the allowable stress of Invar lap joint was evaluated on the basis of test results. Fatigue test was also conducted on Inver/Stainless steel lap joints welded by automatic TIG process without filler metals. The fatigue test of the joint was carried out under the same conditions as those of Invar/invar lap joints. The fatigue strength of the joint welded without filler metal was comparable to those welded with filler metal quoted from reference. The fatigue strength of Invar/stainless steel lap joint was only dependent on the lap throat thickness, and not on the welding process. Based on test results, the applicability of TIG welding process without filler metal in Invar/stainless steel lap joint was reviewed by controlling welding variables to assure the valid throat thickness of lap joints.
