Abstract

As DME (Dimethyl ether) is the one of the future possible massive energy sources synthesized from natural gas, KOGAS has been doing to obtain overseas resources to meet the domestic needs. and tried to build new DME FPSO ship. This paper presents that it can help for the DME storage tank designers and storage management engineers doing proper work by understood the evaporation phenomena and pressure change of DME by thermal intake in storage tank. The experimental result shows that the evaporation rate and pressure are increased with higher liquid filling level. The proper DME liquid filling level in tank is obtained as lower than full 98% volume of tank in case of storing longer than a day, because the pressure is increased rapidly with full 98% filled level of storage tank.

DME는 천연가스로부터 합성할 수 있는 대량의 미래 에너지원으로 한국가스공사는 이의 국내 공급을 위해 해외 자원 확보와 함께 해양에서 생산과 저장을 할 수 있는 FPSO의 건조를 추진하고 있다. 본 논문은 저장탱크 내부에서의 DME의 거동을 분석하여 제시함으로써 관련 기술자의 설계나 DME운영에 도움이 되고자 하였다. DME 증발량과 압력변화의 해석결과는 DME탱크 내 액체의 저장량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 만선인 98%의 충전에서는 저장압력이 급격히 상승하게 되므로 하루 이상 장기간 저장하여야 할 경우는 만선저장을 피하는 것이 바람직하다.
