Study Background: Introduction
■ LNG Regasification Process turns the cold LNG into Natural Gas so that
it can be given to the End User.
LNG feed Natural Gas

LNG Vaporiser
■ Traditionally 2 different methods are used for LNG Regasification:

■ Submerged Combustion Vaporisers (SCVs) using a burner as
the heat source
■ Open Rack Vaporisers (ORVs) using sea water as the heat
source
■ But both methods have a negative impact on the environment:

■ SCVs: Emission of flue gases containing NOx , CO, CO2
■ ORVs: Discharge of large volumes of seawater containing hypo-
chlorite and at up to 10°C colder than the seawater intake
temperature
Slide 7

Open
Study Motivation (External)
■ Global warming due to increase in human emissions of CO2 require new

environmentally friendly products
■ Kyoto agreement
■ EU 2020 Goal
■ There is an existing and growing market on offshore and onshore LNG
Regas terminals
■ There are restrictions on planning and building of LNG Regas terminals
due to environmental regulations
■ Upcoming new technology for environmentally friendly large scale
energy production:
 Post-combustion (ACC) – Available technology
 Pre-combustion – Future Technology
 Oxyfuel – Emerging Technology
Slide 8

Open
Study Motivation (Internal)
■ Aker Solutions controls the entire CO2 value chain

 Aker Clean Carbon (ACC) owns technology on CO2 capture
 CO2 from NG
 CO2 injection (Subsea/platform)
■ Aker Solutions has built two-third of world’s offshore GBS structures

 This Regas terminal is assumed to be built on GBS
■ Experience on major onshore LNG regasification terminals
Slide 9

Open
Study Aims
■ Design a NEW environmental friendly LNG Regas terminal that does not
produce any emission or effluents
 Power generation with CO2 separation (minimal harmful emissions)
 No discharges to sea
■ This new technology will be a real

competitor to the traditional LNG Regas
market, in the areas where stricter
environmental restrictions are enforced.

Adriatic LNG Terminal Overview
Design
■ Gravity-base structure (GBS) designed by Aker Solutions
Technical Features
■ The structure is 180 m x 88 m
■ LNG Regas process using four ORVs (seawater) + one SCV (waste heater boiler)
■ Located 15 km off the east coast of Italy.
■ Placed on the seabed in a water depth of approximately 30 metres.
■ Pipes which transport gas to land
Adriatic LNG Regas Process

■ 25 million Sm3/day of sales gas
 Equals 8 billion Sm3/year – 5.9 MTPY
■ Other existing Regas terminals are:

 0 – 5 MTPY
*MTPY = Million Tonnes Per Year

Layout Design
■ Basis for layout:

 GBS dimensions based on Adriatic (180m long x 88m wide)
 2 x LNG storage tanks of 125,000m3 / tank
 Equipment list developed by process
■ Layout philosophy:
 Topsides design to be inherently safe with segregation of hazardous
and non hazardous system
 LQ and utility areas located upwind of process facilities
 Fire / blast wall provided between process and utility areas
 Topsides modules split into system packages to reduce interface and
hook-up and allow parallel fabrication activities

Weight/Cost Estimate:
■ Reference Case is As-Built figures for a comparable Regasification facility,

scaled to 2010 price-level figures.
■ The above figures exclude the cost of GBS:

 The GBS size for the Base Case is same as for Reference case – hence
GBS costs are excluded for comparision
Evaluation Summary :
■ The cost of new Regasification terminal (with CO2 separation) is comparable
with the existing Regas terminals without CO2 capture.
