LNG Satellite System

Current Trends and Future Prospectives in Resouces and Energy Sector

Natural gas is less pollution and less CO2 emission energy resources, natural gas is considered to be clean energy in fossil fuel.
The demand of natural gas has being increased in recent years, as country society needs to be more low-carbon society.
Moreover, the dependency of natural gas on Middle East is not so high comparatively so that natural gas is considered to have high energy security, the demand and consumption of natural gas considered to be increased in the future.
In most of cases, standard city gas (natural gas) is supplied through gas pipeline network from LNG terminal inside of city gas supply area. On the other hand, standard city gas is supplied through gas pipeline from LNG Satellite System outside of city gas supply area.
The number of IHI experinces of LNG Satellite System has being increased in recent years for workplace like customer facility and customer plant.

About LNG Satellite System

LNG satellite system is constituted of LNG tanks, LNG evaporators and other equipments.
LNG tanks have function to store the liquefied natural gas (LNG) transported by LNG lorry which is discharged from the LNG terminal .
And, the LNG evaporators have function to vaporize the LNG convert to gaseous state from liquid state in order to utilize LNG for gas fuel.
IHI can offer gas turbine plant system including LNG satellite system equipment as overall energy supply system to correspond to customer needs.
