Abstract:
During the BOG recondensation process, the work of compressor is the main energy consumption. This paper aimed to reduce the energy consumption in BOG treatment process and ensure the stability of the system. Based on the analysis of pressure-enthalpy (
p-H) variation in BOG compression process, the BOG treatment process is simulated by HYSYS. And then the process and system are optimized in this paper. The results show that the optimized system energy costs 15.5% less than the original system, and the minimal material ratio also diminishes. Both decreases in optimized system are useful for the stable operation of the system.
