BoiloffGasManagement
BoiloffGasManagement refers to the set of practices and technologies used to control, recover, and utilize boil-off gas generated when cryogenic liquids absorb heat. Boil-off gas (BOG) forms as stored cryogenic liquids vaporize in insulated tanks or pipelines. Effective management aims to minimize gas losses, maintain safe pressure and temperature, protect equipment, and reduce environmental impact.
In liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations, BOG is a persistent consideration. Tanks and vessels continuously produce
Key technologies include reliquefaction units (using mixed refrigerant or Claude cycles), turboexpanders coupled to generators for
Industry contexts include LNG terminals and carriers, cryogenic storage facilities, and certain spaceflight or research applications
