摘要

In the last decade, especially the recent years, China makes great progress in LNG industry. There are already two LNG plants in China. One is the East Sea peakshaving LNG plant in Shanghai and another is Zhongyuan LNG plant at Puyang of Henna province. A larger LNG plant is been building in Xinjiang province. For importing LNG, a LNG receiving terminal is been building at shenzhen of Guangdong province. The second and the third LNG receiving terminal would be built in Fujian province an in the Yangtze River delta area. The LNG tank with a size of 100m³, 300m³ and 30000m³ has already been successfully made in China. The manufacturers in Sichun and Jiansu has successfully produced LNG road tankers, which has already been put into production. These manufactures have also planned to manufacture the LNG container. The Chinese government has planned to build LNG carriers. In some cities of Shandong, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces, there are LNG satellite stations, where the LNG is re-gasified and the natural gas is supplied to residents and industries by pipeline. To improve the air quality, China are now developing LNG vehicles. There are LNG vehicles in test running in both Shanghai and Beijing. The first LNG refueling station has already been built in Beijing. In this paper, the technical data and flow diagram about LNG plants, receiving terminal, tank trucks, satellite station and LNG vehicle are introduced.
