Abstract

The main objective of this research is to select the appropriate regasification technology for Sudan liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Portsudan, with a low Operating cost to suit the site climate conditions. Computer simulation software to design and simulate this technology to relize the optimum conditions which can regasify352169Kg/ hr of LNG is used, where this quantity per year is the energy demand of Sudan, was calculated by the Port sudan power station. Standard selection criteria were used to select the most suitable regasification technology. In this regard sea water vaporizer was found to be the best. Aspen HYSYS 10 was used for the simulation to design and determine the vaporizer specifications. Average monthly temperature and humidity data were used to run the simulation. Sea water consumptions in the vaporizer where 79880400 Kg / hr. Design was implemented by using Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating program, where the optimum design of shell and tube evaporators were obtained.

Large layers of rock trap the natural gas as it tries to float to the surface
The areas where the gas is trapped are referred to as pools, the natural gas molecules are held in small holes and cracks throughout the rock formation [Alberta Energy 1995, About Natural Gas 1995.]

Summary

Introduction

This means it originates from the remains of plant and animals that lived many millions of years ago. These organisms were buried and exposed to heat as a result of being highly compressed underneath thousands of meters of soil and rock. These forces transformed the once living organisms into natural gas. It is found in reservoirs beneath the surface of the earth. Large layers of rock trap the natural gas as it tries to float to the surface. The areas where the gas is trapped are referred to as pools, the natural gas molecules are held in small holes and cracks throughout the rock formation [Alberta Energy 1995, About Natural Gas 1995.]
