What is ISO 20257-2- Design of floating LNG installations about?
ISO 20257-2 provides specific requirements and guidance for the design and operation of floating LNG storage and regasification units (FSRU).
ISO 20257-2 includes requirements to the jetty when an FSRU is moored to a jetty.
Who is ISO 20257-2- Design of floating LNG installations for?
ISO 20257-2 on the design of floating LNG installations is beneficial for:
- Producers of natural gas
- Liquid natural gas plant operators
- Offshore industries
- Inshore FSRUs
- Floating LNG
- Researchers of design and new technologies for floating LNG
- LNG marine transportation
Why should you use ISO 20257-2- Design of floating LNG installations?
A floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) is a vital component required while transiting and transferring liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the oceanic channels. Therefore, FSRU can be termed as a special type of ship used for LNG transfer.
ISO 20257-2 describes the specificities of the FSRU BOG handling and recovery system. ISO 20257-2 fulfils the specific requirements for recondenser. The recondenser has two purposes:
- Recondensation of the BOG into the sub-cooled LNG stream from LP pumps
- Feeding the LNG HP pumps with liquid and providing liquid hold-up capacity between the LP and HP pumps
ISO 20257-2 states the functions of HD and LD compressors. ISO 20257-2 assists the user with combined vaporizers and ambient air vaporizers.
ISO 20257-2 is applicable to offshore, near-shore, or docked FSRUs and to both new-built and converted FSRUs.
Overall, ISO 20257-2 is helpful as it assists the user with FSRU issues. FSRU warms up LNG for regasification and sends it out as high-pressure according to the user’s demand.
