| | Cryoquip, Inc., an industry leader in the engineering and manufacture of a diversified line of cryogenic vaporizing systems that can employ any available heat source, produces equipment systems for vaporizing LNG. These LNG systems, complete with controls, use natural gas, ambient air, water, or steam as energy sources. The systems are designed for either stationary single site applications or as portable systems to be transported from site to site on available trailer or other mobile methods.
Applications include 'send out' vaporization systems for peak shaving plants, temporary gas pipeline supply in the event of emergency or scheduled shutdowns, vessel pressure building, or other process applications for either continuous or temporary service.
Combination systems are available utilizing, for example, ambient air vaporization during warm weather, and gas fired, indirect heated or steam heat vaporization during cold weather.
Gas fired units include the model WCVSP dual skid system and the model VFTU fire tube vaporizing system. Both systems require a modest amount of on-site electrical power for pumps (and any forced draft fans required).
The Model WCVSP System: Designed for portable use, the model WCVSP system consists of two skid assemblies. One skid, designed to be positioned beyond the classified class 1, group D, division 2 area, includes a gas fired, natural draft water (or water/glycol) heater with standing pilot, ballast tank and dual circulating water pumps with auto-switching. The second skid assembly, which meets NFPA 59A requirements, is designed to be located relatively close to an LNG storage supply within the classified area and includes a variable frequency drive, a submerged LNG pump, a water heated vaporizer, an odorant injection system (optional), and a startup fuel gas warm-up heater. The two skid assemblies are designed to be positioned at least 50 feet apart in the field in order to meet applicable codes, and may be field connected with sections of flexible water hose or piping spools. The heater skid is designed to be transported with water (or water/glycol> remaining in the system. No makeup water is required during operation.
Typical delivery pressures range from 50 psig to 450 psig for portable model WCVSP systems. Standard LNG capacities for the WCVSP series units are in the range of 1,200,000 SCFD to 7,200,000 SCFD. Higher capacity portable units can be made available on a special design basis. The specific power required during normal operation is approximately 0.2 kw-hrs. per thousand standard cubic feet.
The WCV series: Designed for stationary applications for capacities up to 120,000,000 SCFD or more, the WCV series contains essentially the same components as the model WCVSP system with the following configuration differences. The hot water heater(s) are stand-alone modules for location outside of the classified area. The water ballast tank and water heated vaporizer, depending on capacity, are either an integral module or a skidded assembly. The latter normally includes the tank and the circulating water pumps, and may or may not contain an LNG pump or odorizer injection system, depending on customer needs.
The VFTU series: The VFTU series model is a single skid model consisting of a forced draft burner system, and submerged combustion chamber at one end of a horizontal, water-filled ballast vessel. This model is typically used for stationary applications. The water is heated by combustion gas contained in serpentine combustion gas piping submerged in the water. This gas is vented to the atmosphere after being cooled by heat exchange.
