Application:
University campus – LNG regasification plant to be the primary, stationary backup to natural gas pipeline supply during times of high use, or allows for interruptible pipeline service. Converting from ultra-low sulfur diesel is expected to save the university millions of dollars over the next few years, as well as reducing their carbon footprint.
Project Background:
The University campus had previously used LNG in trailers (as a trial mode change from diesel) during peak season and desired a permanent solution. The LNG supply had to be in place for the start of the 2016/17 heating season. Both fully automatic and manual modes were required. System was required to accommodate flow rates fluctuating between 10,000 and 175,000 standard cubic feet per hour of natural gas.
Significant Accomplishments:
System Configuration
LNG facility station includes on-site storage totaling 54,000 gallons gross capacity in vertical cryogenic tanks. Other components in the total system approach – VIP (between vessels & vaporizer), pump offload skid, water bath vaporizer, and BOG heat exchanger. The multiple manifolds included an LNG CGA connection, both upstream and downstream BOG valving, upstream and downstream water bath valving, and the Final Line Pressure Control with metering skid and vent stack. All components were factory tested and designed for ease of installation. Chart’s personnel managed the project installation.
