Operational parameters and safety aspects to be considered when bunkering LNG or alternative fuels such as LH_2 and NH_3

摘要

1.Bunkering of low-flashpoint fuels has certain hazards, which should be considered inthe early design phase of a project.2.Due to abnormal conditions or LNG quality issues, process operational conditions,such as tank pressure might exceed their max allowable set points causingunnecessary releases to the atmosphere, if such scenarios are not considered whendefining the operational philosophy.3.Examining alternative fuels, LH2 comes with high operational challenges andexpenses, whereas ammonia is a non-cryogenic fuel and can be bunkered withoutany remarkable boil-off losses throughout its pathway.
