Abstract

New technologies that lead to an increased efficiency and lower product cost in each step of the LNG chain are of particular interest to scientists and engineers. The studies and commercial applications of LNG regasification processes can be divided into three large groups: (a) direct and indirect heat transfer processes between LNG and other substances in the so-called “traditional systems”, (b) LNG-based electricity generation systems, and (c) LNG regasification within an industrial complex consisting of an LNG import terminal and at least one different refrigeration or cryogenic plant (process). In this paper the regasification of LNG is accomplished within an air separation process, to improve the overall system efficiency. The paper discusses the simulation, and the energetic, exergetic, and economic analyses of this novel cryogenic-based concept, which is characterized by a lower specific power requirement and improved cost effectiveness.
