LNG Applications

Abstract

The economic importance of LNG supply is shown on the basis of statistics and selected possibilities of LNG application are described. These explanations consider the low-pressure area, i.e. gas supply systems with connected consumers, and the high-pressure area with the description of the compression of CNG. The high-pressure area focuses on the use of CNG as a fuel. Assemblies and components are described in detail and avoidable malfunctions are pointed out in terms of safety. Operational considerations and their application are explained and the environmental benefits are elaborated. It may be recognized that ecological solutions are the most economical, as they are always operated in combination.
