Abstract
Since 1969, many LNG receiving terminals have been constructed in Japan. This is in line with the Japanese policy of increasing the calorific value of city gas, and also changing the feedstock for thermal power plants to pollution-free LNG. In 1995, about 44 million tons of LNG were imported into Japan, and more than 70% of the LNG was used as fuel for power plants. Recently, advanced combined cycle gas-turbine power plants with higher thermal efficiency have been developed, and because LNG is more a suitable fuel for the plants than other fuels, the demand for LNG use in power plants is increasing. This paper presents a process outline of LNG receiving terminal for power plants and the main processing equipment, and mentions special consideration for the design of the LNG receiving terminal.
