Plant Description - Recondenser

19 | Plant Description | 2023


Plant Description - Recondenser

Recondenser is using some of the sub-cooling for BOG liquefaction; Unit control must ensure safe operation of HP
pump.

Minimum Suction Subcooling is depending on cold end design of HP pump


20 | Plant Description | 2023
Plant Description - Recondenser

Recondenser general aspects

• Recondenser is a slow reacting device (significant lag time)

• Recondenser works best in steady state operation (slow control loops)

• In HP-pump suction we must keep a safe margin to the bubble point of the HP-pump feed condition.

Recondenser dynamic aspects

• In the dynamic simulation load drops to approx. 60 % of peak load are observed frequently within several
seconds
• Recondenser control must ensure that no excess vapour is mixed to HP-feed during load drop

• Recycling of HP-feed after recondenser to tank is thermodynamic nonsense and will result in overall increased
BOR (boil off rate).

21 | Plant Description | 2023


Plant Description – HP buffer vessel

Function:

HP buffer vessel will


harmonize the pressure in
the HP discharge line to
the MEGI.

Volume: 200 ltr.


Weight: 1000 kg

22 | Plant Description | 2023


Plant Description – Liquid separator

Function:

HP flow will be separated in the


separator. Liquid phase back to
tank, vapour phase to LB FG
consumer or to tank.

23 | Plant Description | 2023


Plant Description – HP System safety measures

Safety measures for HP system:

• Welded connections or use


of RTJ flanges
• Flange guards
• Reduction of exposure by
automation and
access restrictions
