연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method and apparatus for conditioning imported liquefied natural gas to conform to a particular pipeline heating value specification and recovery of liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas liquids from liquefied natural gas are disclosed. An input stream containing liquefied natural gas is split into a direct stream and a bypass stream. The direct stream is heated in a cross-exchanger to produce a heated rich liquefied natural gas stream, which is split into a primary column feed and a secondary column feed. At least a major portion of the secondary column feed is vaporized to produce a vaporized secondary column feed, which is expanded in an expander to produce a vaporized and expanded secondary column feed. A top feed, the primary column feed, and the vaporized and expanded secondary column feed are fractionated to produce an overhead product stream and a bottom product stream. The overhead product stream is compressed in a compressor coupled to the expander. At least a major portion of the compressed overhead product stream is condensed by cooling in the cross-exchanger to produce a compressed and condensed overhead product stream. A reflux stream of at least one of the compressed and condensed overhead product stream or an output stream is directed to a top of the fractionation unit as the top feed. The bypass stream is mixed with a balance stream of the compressed and condensed overhead product stream to produce the output stream, which is vaporized to produce a conditioned natural gas product.

1. A method for recovery of liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas liquids from liquefied natural gas, the method comprising: splitting an input stream comprising substantially rich liquefied natural gas into a direct stream and a bypass stream; heating said direct stream in a cross-exchanger to produce a heated rich liquefied natural gas stream; splitting said heated rich liquefied natural gas into a primary column feed and a secondary column feed; vaporizing at least a major portion of said secondary column feed in a vaporizer to produce a vaporized secondary column feed; expanding said vaporized secondary column feed in an expander to produce a vaporized and expanded secondary column feed; fractionating a top feed, said primary column feed, and said vaporized and expanded secondary column feed in a fractionation unit to produce an overhead product stream and a bottom product stream; compressing said overhead product stream in a compressor which is coupled to said expander to produce a compressed overhead product stream; condensing at least a major portion of said compressed overhead product stream by cooling said compressed overhead product stream in said cross-exchanger to produce a compressed and condensed overhead product stream; directing a reflux stream comprising a part of both of said compressed and condensed overhead product stream and an output stream to a top of said fractionation unit as said top feed; mixing said bypass stream with a balance stream of said compressed and condensed overhead product stream to produce said output stream; and vaporizing said output stream to produce a conditioned natural gas suitable for delivery to a pipeline or for commercial use. 2. The method of claim 1, comprising further: diverting a portion of said heated rich liquefied natural gas stream into an optional bypass stream; andmixing said optional bypass stream with said balance portion of said compressed and condensed overhead product stream and said bypass stream of said input stream to produce said output stream. 3. The method of claim 1, comprising further: depressurizing said primary column feed with a control valve to produce a depressurized primary column feed. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said expander expands said vaporized secondary column feed to a pressure in a range of 300 psig to 370 psig. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein said control valve depressurizes said primary column feed to a pressure in a range of 300 psig to 370 psig. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said compressor compresses said overhead product stream to a pressure in a range of 485 psig to 520 psig. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said fractionation unit has an operational pressure in a range of 300 psig to 370 psig. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising adding heat to a bottom re-boil stream from said fractionation unit and re-injecting said bottom re-boil stream into said fractionation unit with a re-boiler. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein said re-boiler has a low re-boil temperature. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said re-boiler is coupled to a low temperature heating medium. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said heating medium comprises water. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said heating medium comprises seawater. 13. An apparatus for recovery of liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas liquids from liquefied natural gas, comprising: a fractionation unit for fractionating a top feed, a primary column feed, and a vaporized and expanded secondary column feed and producing an overhead product stream and a bottom product stream; a diverter for splitting an input stream comprising substantially rich liquefied natural gas into a direct stream and a bypass stream; a compressor for compressing said overhead product stream and producing a compressed overhead product stream; a cross-exchanger receiving said direct stream and heating said direct stream to produce a heated rich liquefied natural gas stream while condensing at least a major portion of said compressed overhead product stream to produce a compressed and condensed overhead product stream; a diverter for splitting said heated rich liquefied natural gas into said primary column feed and a secondary column feed; a vaporizer for vaporizing at least a major portion of said secondary column feed and producing a vaporized secondary column feed; an expander coupled to said compressor for expanding said vaporized secondary column feed and producing said vaporized and expanded secondary column feed; a first diverter and a second diverter, said first diverter for directing a reflux stream comprising a part of said compressed and condensed overhead product stream to a top of said fractionation unit as said top feed and said second diverter for directing a reflux stream comprising a part of an output stream to said top of said fractionation unit as said top feed; a mixer for mixing a bypass stream of said rich liquefied natural gas with a balance stream of said compressed and condensed overhead product stream to produce said output stream; and an output vaporizer for vaporizing said output stream to produce a conditioned natural gas suitable for delivery to a pipeline or for commercial use. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein: said diverter diverts a portion of said heated rich liquefied natural gas stream into an optional bypass stream; and said mixer mixes said optional bypass stream with said balance portion of said condensed and compressed overhead product stream and said bypass stream of said input stream to produce an output stream. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising: a control valve for depressurizing said primary column feed to produce a depressurized primary column feed. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said expander expands said vaporized secondary column feed to a pressure in a range of 300 psig to 370 psig. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein said control valve depressurizes said primary column feed to a pressure in a range of 300 psig to 370 psig. 18. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said compressor compresses said overhead product stream to a pressure in a range of 485 psig to 520 psig. 19. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said fractionation unit has an operational pressure in a range of 300 psig to 370 psig. 20. The apparatus of claim 13, comprising further a re-boiler adding heat to a bottom re-boil stream from said fractionation unit and re-injecting said bottom re-boil stream into said fractionation unit. 21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein said re-boiler has a low re-boil temperature. 22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein said re-boiler is coupled to a low temperature heating medium. 23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein said heating medium comprises water. 24. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein said heating medium comprises seawater.
