The evaluation of Secondary pump vibration at Tongyoeng LNG recieving terminal in Korea Gas Corporation

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.
