LNG Jetty

The Main components of the terminal are LNG jetty

with cryogenic unloading arms, cryogenic tanks to store
LNG at -160C, LNG pumps to boost pressure to 80-100
barg, LNG vaporizers and send-out pipeline. The send-
out pipeline carries the gas to the delivery point.

The LNG jetty has 3 unloading arms, 2

for liquid and 1 for vapour. Unloading
of LNG can be done at a maximum
rate of 11000 M3/Hour. The jetty has
state of art Emergency Shutdown
System and safety equipment's to
avoid & control spills and leaks of
LNG. The LNG unloaded is carried in
cold condition by an unloading line to
the LNG tanks.
LNG Storage
Tank
The terminal has two LNG tanks with a capacity
of 160000 M3 each. These tanks have pre-
stressed concrete outer and 9% Nickel steel
inner tank to hold the LNG at -160 °C. LNG is
stored in the tanks at atmospheric pressure.
Cold insulation is provided between the outer
and inner tanks to minimize heat ingress to the
tank. This would ensure that LNG can be
stored in the tanks at low temperature with
minimum vaporization of LNG. The tanks are
provided with protection against high pressure
to avoid any damage and with robust controls
to keep the pressure within limits.
LNG cryogenic pumps are installed inside the
tanks, which pump out LNG from the tanks at
intermediate pressure. The LNG pressure is
finally boosted to 110 barg with the help of multi
stage cryogenic pumps before being sent to the
regasification section
LNG
Vaporizers
LNG is re-gasified in Open Rack
Vaporizers, using sea water as the
heating medium. These vaporizers are
designed to handle LNG at -160 °C
and have been provided with
instrumented protections to avoid any
damage.
The terminal also has a Submerged
Combustion Vaporizer which uses fuel
gas as the source of heat. In these
vaporizers, heat generated by burning
fuel gas is used to warm the water
which in turn vaporizes LNG.
