LNG Properties

LNG Chemical Makeup

Benefits and Efficiencies of LNG

• LNG kept at low pressure

(< 100 PSI)

• Expansion Ratio 600-1
• Every cubic foot of liquid

will create 600 cubic feet of vapor

• One LNG tanker 830 MCF vs CNG tube

truck of 140 MCF (1 LNG transport = 5.9 tube

trailers)

• One (1) LNG tanker can deliver 100

MCF/D for 8 days vs SIX (6) CNG tube trailers

• Decreases transportation risk and cost

Benefits and Efficiencies of LNG

LNG Transport

• Transport Trailers provide a means of distributing, storing and dispensing

LNG

• The trailer has an overall length of 43’ and a width of 102”, weight 21,500 lb.,

gross capacity of 10,000 gal., MAWP of 70 psig

• Constructed with tank inside of a tank that is vacuum super-insulated space

between

• Units are designed and maintained to DOT MC-338 regulations

LNG Storage

• LNG storage consist of mobile semi-trailers that are used to store and

withdraw LNG

• The trailer is a “Queen” design which cannot be transported full, and utilizes

four landing legs when on-site to support the full trailer weight

• The trailer has an overall length of 53’ and a width of 102”, tare weight 50,000

lb., gross capacity of 13,520 gal., MAWP of 115psig

• Units are designed and maintained to DOT MC-338 regulations

LNG Regas

• Queen Regas unit is a mobile regasification system that includes an electric

direct-to-process165kW vaporizer and an off-load pump,

• The trailer has an overall length of 55’ and a width of 102”, weight 50,000 lb.,

gross capacity of 13,520 gal., MAWP of 115psig

• Capability of supplying 34 MCFH
• Units are designed and maintained to DOT MC-338 regulations

Graph

• Here is a graph:

Vaporization Ambient

• Vaporization is the addition of thermal energy changing a liquid

to a vapor or gaseous state

• Completed by ambient air or heated vaporizers based on gas

demand and temperature; Delivery rates up to 20 MCFH

Vaporization Forced Air

• Ambient air utilizes the air temperature as a medium for the

vaporization process.

• Restrictions are based on gas demand
• Delivery rates 20 MCFH to 150 MCFH *8 Hour Duty Cycle

Vaporization Gas Fired

• Heated vaporization utilizes a heating medium to assist in the

vaporization process. Heating mediums consist of electric, gas fired, water bath

• Delivery rates up to 675 MCFH *No Duty Cycle

Cryogenic Pump

Delivery rates up to 675 MCFH *No Duty Cycle

Connection/Injection Point

• Utilize above ground stainless flexible

hoses that meets product specs and cryogenic temperatures

• Connection point typically based on a

location that is suitable for sufficient spacing, pad integrity, LNG delivery

• Flange connections with controlled

access

• Odorization can be added

• Supply relationship

with Clean Energy for the supply of LNG

• Clean Energy supplier

agreements with LNG facilities all over the US

• Willis Texas Facility is

primary supply location

• Capable of

supplying 40,000- 60,000 gal daily

LNG Availability

Turn-Key Proposal

Based on NFPA 59A, RRC, and Best Practices

• Trained and Qualified Personnel
• LNG site must be continuously attended
• Spacing distance; property line, equipment, ignition

hazards

• AHJ Notification and Approval (RRC Permit)
• Emergency Action Procedures
• Emergency Response Plans
• Awareness Training
• Equipment Commissioning

Site Layout Example

1,600-1,900 MCFH for 7-10 Hours

Mobilization & Startup

• Planned outages or Emergency response situations
• Lower volumes mean less equipment and less rig up time
• Other factors
• Equipment availability
• Information for bidding
• Gas flow volumes- Daily & Hourly max
• Pressure requirements
• Start date and duration
• Location (GPS coordinates)
• Connection/injection point type size
• Site footprint availability

LNG Project Example

Kinder Morgan, Cedartown, GA

Durat ion: 6 days; June 2016 Flow Rat es: Up to 150 MCFH; 250 psig S it uat ion: The natural gas line feeding the town of Cedartown was scheduled for a hydrostatic test. Residential and commercial customers would have been without gas for the durtion of the proj ect without a virtual pipeline solution, which was provided.

LNG Project Example

ONEOK Partners, Lubbock, TX Duration: 2 days; November 2016 Flow Rates: 100 MCFH at 60 psig S ituation: The natural gas pipeline feeding an industrial customer had to be taken down for integrity

• testing. Thigpen Energy provided

gas directly to the facility via our LNG virtual pipeline for the entirety of the outage so that the plant had no down time.

Longview Power Generation Maidsville, WV Primary Energy Source-Coal Natural Gas Ignition- Dominion Pipeline-Sole Source Requires 1,600-1,900 MCFH for 7-10 Hours ISSUE-Both Winter Curtailment and Integrity Ops
