The LNG from the tanks is pumped to the required export pressure, vaporised and then supplied to the power station as fuel gas. In this configuration the power plant may be the sole consumer, or the terminal may also supply other consumers (e.g. petrochemical plants) and/or a gas distribution grid.
Floating options for LNG storage, regasification and power generation can be more competitive than traditional land-based solutions, can be leased to reduce the capital intensity of projects and can be delivered faster with fewer permitting issues.
LNG is stored in vacuum-insulated bullet tank units that allow for long-term storage without the need for liquefaction of boil-off gas. In most cases, the tanks are refilled from LNG trucks. A small-scale LNG terminal consists of:
New terminals built in the last 10 years have an average of 377,000 m3 of LNG storage capacity,5 which compares to the largest LNG tankers - the 14 Q-Max vessels of 266,000 m3 which were delivered between 2008 and 2010.
