INTEGRATED CASCADE PROCESS FOR VAPORIZATION AND RECOVERY OF RESIDUAL LNG IN A FLOATING TANK APPLICATION

摘要

Methods and systems for vaporizing and recovering LNG are provided. One method includes: a) heating at least a portion of the LNG to provide a boil-off gas stream and a liquid quench stream; b) routing the boil-off gas stream and the liquid quench stream to a quench system, wherein the quench system cools the boil-off gas stream to provide a quenched stream; and c) compressing the quenched stream to provide a compressed quenched stream.
