전 세계적으로 천연가스의 수요가 급격하게 증가함에 따라 천연가스의 생산 및 공급이 활발하게 이루어지고 있고, 향후 10년 간 천연가스의 사용량이 현재의 2배 이상이 될 것이라는 추측도 나오고 있다. 이에 따라 천연가스 생산지에서는 천연가스 액화 플랜트(Liquefaction Plant)와 저장 탱크(LNG Storage Tank), 수입하는 곳에서는 재기화 플랜트(Regasification Plant)와 저장 탱크, 그리고 LNG를 운송할 LNG 운반선의 신조프로젝트가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 미국의 경우 911테러와 NIMBY 사고의 확대로 인하여 LNG 수입기지의 육상건설을 주민들의 반대하자 해상에 건조하려는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 이에 따라 여러 가지 형태의 LNG Offshore 터미널이 설계되고 있다. 향후 LNG의 급격한 수입이 예상되는 나라로는 미국, 중국, 인도 등이 있으며 수출국으로는 카타르가 급격하게 부상하고 있다.

Through the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, South Korea is trying to support the "Building Project for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Bunkering Ship," centered on the Korea Gas Corporation, while the Ministry of Maritime Af airs and Fisheries is pushing to construct an LNG bunkering terminal at Busan New Port. LNG bunkering ships are essential for supplying LNG fuel from the terminal to the ships, resulting in the need for safety operation procedures. Therefore, in this study, the stability of a coastal LNG bunkering ship operating from Busan New Port to the anchorage in Busan Port was assessed to investigate the need for operational procedures for coastal LNG bunkering ships. Seakeeping analysis of the LNG bunkering ship was performed for each significant wave height by combining the response amplitude operator from the ship motion analysis under the potential flow theory with the actual observed sea data for five years and Texel, Marsen, and Arsloe (TMA) spectrum suitable for the Busan coast. The results showed that the roll and horizontal acceleration were the main risks that affected the navigation seakeeping performance above a significance wave height of 2 m. The operational periods of the LNG bunkering ship ranged from 83.3% to 99.9% of the total observation period.

The boil-off-gases(BOG) in cryogenic LNG storage tanks are generating continuously due to the heat leakage and need to be re-liquefied by the effective way. As the present method to reliquefy BOG is using LNG cold energy to be supplied after low pressure primary pump, the demand of LNG flow rate should be over 10 times of BOG produced rate to reliquefy it. This research invented new effective re-liquefaction system having only 3~4 times of LNG flow rate against unit BOG, that the pre-liquefaction process of NGL and the use of high pressure LNG cold energy after secondary pump. By the analysis, it could be high efficient reliquefying system for all amount of BOG treatment even during the summer time, and improvement of operation safety and efficiency of LNG terminal.

일반적 의미의 소수력발전은 계곡이나 저낙차의 하천에서 시도되었으나, 한국의 지형과 강수패턴등은 소수력발전을 활성화하기에 어려운 점들이 있었다. 이에 최근에는 정수장, 하수처리장등과 같은 인공구조물에 소수력발전을 설치 운영하는 방향으로 가고 있으며, 특히 화력발전소 냉각공정에 사용되는 해수를 이용한 소수력발전이 크게 성공하였고 확대설치 되어가고 있다. 해안에 위치하는 LNG인수기지에서는 LNG의 기화에 해수를 열원으로 사용하며, 기화공정에서 열교환 후 바다에 배출된다. 이 때 기화해수와 공기와의 접촉으로 생성된 거품은 해양미생물과의 복합작용으로 쉽게 깨어지지 않고 바다로 떠내려가게 된다. 이러한 거품은 시각적 거부감으로 인하여 인근어민들의 불편함을 야기하고 있으며, 또한 배출해수와 일반해수와의 온도차로 인한 인근 어장이나 양식장의 어획고에 미칠 수 있는 부작용의 가능성에 대한 우려는 더욱 방류해수의 적절한 처리를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 방류해수의 거품생성을 해결하는 데 있어 근본적인 해결방법은 심층배수법인데, 심층배수 구조물에 발전수차를 추가 설치만 하면 수력발전이 가능하다. 방류해수의 거품관련 환경문제를 해결하면서 동시에 청정전력을 생산할 수 있는 해양소수력발전에 대하여 KOGAS에서는 LNG 인수기지에의 적용가능성을 분석하고 있으며, 방류해수의 낙차와 조수간만의 차를 이용하는 해양소수력발전을 LNG 인수기지에의 적용하는 것으로는 세계최초의 시도이다. 주변지형에 따른 입지여건을 분석하고, 해수계통분석, 소수력발전방법, 수차종류, 수차용량, 수차개수, pond의 크기등을 결정하고, 수리해석 및 경제성분석을 수행할 것이며 소수력발전의 타당성여부에 대한 가늠을 잡고자 한다.

For the hydrogen liquefaction, the large amount of energy is consumed, because precooling, liquefaction and ortho/para conversion heats should be eliminated. In this paper the basic design and thermal analysis are carried out to reduce the energy consumption by using LNG cold energy for precooling process in hydrogen liquefaction processes. The LNG cold energy utilization for hydrogen precooling enables not only to get energy saving for liquefaction, but to recover the wasted cold energy to sea water at the LNG terminal. The results show that the energy saving rate for liquefaction using LNG cold energy is almost 75% of current industrial hydrogen liquefaction plant. The demand flow-rate of LNG is only 15T/D for 1T/D hydrogen liquefaction.

This paper describes not only the complexities of LNG business including shipping sector but also its own current environmental changes. Furthermore, system dynamics (VENSIM analysis) as a methodology is introduced to analyze the potential LNG shipping market in the future. As a result of the VENSIM analysis, potentiality of the spot LNG shipping market is systematically established in connection with embodiment of the spot LNG market. This paper suggests three methods, which are centered on newbuildings of ships, for the shippers to prepare for the spot LNG shipping market on the basis that maritime economics can make a direct contribution to the shippers' business decision-making.

As sea water is being used as only heat source of LNG open rack vaporizer, serious problem has been risen in LNG terminal by the lack of heating energy source for LNG vaporization due to the temperature drop of sea water in winter. In this paper the new double-tube triple-flow(TRIDEX) vaporizer was suggested to solve the problem and the system was thermally analysed. LPG(liquefied petroleum gas) and sea water were introduced as the heat sources for LNG TRIDEX vaporizer. The flow patterns of TRIDEX vaporizer are as follows: LNG flow in the annular space, PG(petroleum gas) flow in the inner tube, and sea water flow in the outside of the double pipe. The overall LNG vaporization system was consisted of TRIDEX vaporizer, LPG vaporizer and PG heater. LPG in TRIDEX was directly dispersed in the sea water desalination unit, so that LPG turns to be gas phase for the reuse in TRIDEX vaporizer. New TRIDEX vaporizer system for LNG evaporation was analysed as much more effective than the present single tube one in the case of colder temperature of sea water in winter.
