The price increase of natural resources and the worldwide growth of LNG demand led to save the waste of Boil-Off Gas evaporating from cargo tanks of LNG carriers during navigation. As one of the efforts, a BOG reliquefaction system with BOG-to-BOG heat exchanging method was newly devised. This study was also discussed on the process details such as some features and advantages including comparisons with conventional BOG reliquefaction system, non BOG-BOG heat exchange type. The thermodynamic analysis for the system were also performed. Through the cycle simulation, the process efficiency of the BOG reliquefaction system BOG-BOG heat exchange was estimated to be increased up to 21%.

본 연구는 NO96 화물창의 BOG(boil off gas), BOR(boil off rate)을 감소시키기 위한 노력으로 단열재료 및 단열층을 변화시켜서 개발된 NO96-GW, NO96-L03의 방열구조에 대해서 BOG, BOR 값을 계산하고 단열성능을 비교 평가하였다. 두가지의 변형된 NO96 모델을 기존의 NO96 방열과 단열층 및 단열재료의 차이점을 비교하고, 각각의 열저항 및 BOG/BOR 값의 비교 결과를 제시하였다. 열저항 값은 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 계산되었으며, 준정적 열평형 상태를 가정하여 열유속과 온도분포를 통하여 단열성능을 비교하였다. 계산에 사용된 화물창의 모든 재료물성치는 온도 의존값으로서 반영하여 $-163^{\circ}C$에서의 극저온 상태에서 특성을 반영되었다. 각 화물창의 BOG, BOR 계산은 국부 열전달 해석을 통해 방열판에서 발생하는 열유속을 계산하고, 등가모델을 적용하여 계산하는 과정으로 수행되었으며, 그 결과를 각 화물창의 단열성능을 비교 평가하기 위해서 검토하였다.

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)기지의 LNG 저장탱크에서 BOG (Boil Off Gas)가 약 0.5 vol%/day로 자연적으로 생성된다. 이를 회수하기 위해서 기존에는 LNG와 BOG를 1:12의 질량비로 직접 접촉시켜 액화시켰다. 이 공정은 단순하지만 하절기에는 LNG 사용량 저하로 인해 공정운영의 어려움이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 대안된 LNG 냉열을 사용하는 간접접촉방식을 HYSYS를 이용하여 분석해보고 직접접촉방식과 BOG 재액화 효율비교를 통해 분석하여 유리한 공정을 도출하였다.

해양의 환경오염을 줄이기 위하여 LNG 운송선박, 벙커링 선박 및 LNG를 연료로 추진되는 선박의 건조가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 LNG 선박의 저장탱크들은 외부로부터의 열유입으로 증발가스가 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 최근 국내 조선사들은 이 BOG를 재액화하여 회수하는 장치를 개발하여 보급하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 부분재액화 처리장치들의 이론적 최대 재액화 수율을 분석하고 재액화 수율에 미치는 영향 인자들을 비교하였다. 해석결과, BOG와 플래시 가스가 보유한 냉열을 열교환으로 간접 이용하는 부분재액화 처리장치는 최대 48.7%가 되었으며, BOG와 플래시 가스가 혼합 합체되어 냉열이 직접 이용되는 부분재액화 처리장치는 최대 41%로 해석되었다. 또한 액체 수율에 크게 영향을 미치는 인자로는 열교환기의 효율로 열교환기의 성능과 단열이 매우 중요한 것임을 알 수 있다.

As a fuel for ship propulsion, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is currently considered a proven and reasonable solution for meeting the IMO emission regulations, with gas engines for the LNG-fueled ship covering a broad range of power outputs. For an LNG-fueled ship, the LNG bunkering process is different from the HFO bunkering process, in the sense that the cryogenic liquid transfer generates a considerable amount of boil-off gas (BOG). This study investigated the effect of the temperature difference on boil-off gas (BOG) production during ship-to-ship (STS) LNG bunkering to the receiving tank of the LNG-fueled ship. A concept design was resumed for the cargo/fuel tanks in the LNG bunkering vessel and the receiving vessel, as well as for LNG handling systems. Subsequently, the storage tank capacities of the LNG were $4,500m^3$ for the bunkering vessel and $700m^3$ for the receiving vessel. Process dynamic simulations by Aspen HYSYS were performed under several bunkering scenarios, which demonstrated that the boil-off gas and resulting pressure buildup in the receiving vessel were mainly determined by the temperature difference between bunkering and the receiving tank, pressure of the receiving tank, and amount of remaining LNG.

The LNG carriers have been propelled by steam turbines and the LNG boil-off(BOG) has been used as fuel or vented. However, as the alternative propulsion systems such as diesel engines are being equipped on the LNG carriers for better fuel efficiency, a need for the LNG BOG re-liquefaction system that liquefies the BOG and sends the liquid BOG back to the LNG cargo has arisen in recent years. This study investigates the design of the BOG re-liquefaction system based on the reverse Brayton refrigeration cycle. The thermodynamic and heat exchanger analysis are carried out and the limitations to the system performance are discussed.

The Boil-Off-Gases(BOG) in the LNG production terminal are continuously generated during the unloading, storage and supply processes by the heat penetration. In order to use these gases as useful fuel, the reliquefaction process should be installed to put the reliquefied BOG in the main LNG supply line before the secondary pump in terminal. The current reliquefaction method of BOG in LNG terminal is the direct contact one between LNG and BOG in the absorption column. But the system has severe disadvantage, which is the 10 times of LNG circulation needed for unit mass of BOG reliquefaction. It causes, therefore, high power consumption of LNG circulation pump and excessive city-gas supply, even if short demand of NG is needed in the summer time. In this paper, the new reliquefaction system of BOG by using LNG cold energy with indirect contact in precooler was suggested and analysed. The result showed new indirect contact method of BOG reliquefaction system between LNG cold energy and BOG is much more effective than the current direct contact one because of only about 1.3 times of LNG circulation needed and higher energy saving by pump power reduction.

With the tightening of environmental regulations (i.e., IMO Tier III), natural gas (NG) has been spotlighted as an eco-friendly fuel with few air pollutants other than nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). For reasons of economic efficiency, it is mainly stored and transported in a liquid state at $-163^{\circ}C$, which is a cryogenic temperature, using a liquefied gas storage tank. Accordingly, it is necessary to reduce the boil-off gas (BOG) occurrence due to the heat flow according to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the storage tank. Therefore, in this study, a BOG measurement test on an independent-type storage tank made up of SUS304L was carried out. The test results showed the tendency for BOG occurrence according to the temperature under different filling ratios.
