LNG Single Point Mooring Terminal -Report on Initial Studies.

摘要

This report describes an initial investigation on a proprietary Single Point Mooring (SPM) concept for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other low temperature fluids. The study included analytical evaluation of buoy and hose string motions,together with preliminary design and analysis of a coaxial LNG/vapor swivel, a self-sealing LNG disconnect,and a floating LNG hose assembly. Thermal and hydraulic analyses were also carried out for the seabed pipeline. All results were positive,and further investigation is recommended.
