Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to select the appropriate regasification technology for Sudan liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Portsudan, with a low Operating cost to suit the site climate conditions. Computer simulation software to design and simulate this technology to relize the optimum conditions which can regasify352169Kg/ hr of LNG is used, where this quantity per year is the energy demand of Sudan, was calculated by the Port sudan power station.
Standard selection criteria were used to select the most suitable regasification technology. In this regard sea water vaporizer was found to be the best. Aspen HYSYS 10 was used for the simulation to design and determine the vaporizer specifications. Average monthly temperature and humidity data were used to run the simulation. Sea water consumptions in the vaporizer where 79880400 Kg / hr. Design was implemented by using Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating program, where the optimum design of shell and tube evaporators were obtained.
