ABSTRACT
The article offers a set of technological solutions to ensure safety during storage and low-tonnage production of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Tanks are equipped with gas discharge pipelines and safety valves to prevent planned and emergency pressure, through which the excess steam phase is discharged to the system torch or into the atmosphere. The efficiency of gas-equalizing tank strapping has been proven theoretically, including the ejector system, in order to reduce the loss of liquefied natural gas and energy consumption during its safe storage. The most productive aerodynamic scheme of the flow part of the liquid-gas ejector was chosen to significantly reduce the investment in construction and operation of cryogenic tanks.
