A POINT OF VIEW ON THE REGASIFICATION OF LNG

LNG business started in the ‘60s and since then evolved quite fast. The high natural gas demand the existence of receiving terminals. The most significant function of a terminal is the LNG conversion through the vaporization process. In the last years, improvements of the LNG technology focused on the liquefaction process and shipping. This paper deals with the regasification of LNG, which traditionally is done by taking heat from the sea water. Is analysed how the integration of the cryogenic heat sink in the situation of a H2/O2 cycle affects the exergy efficiency.
