Unlocking cold energy potential: Innovations in LNG regasification with patented ORC-based cold energy plant

During this webinar, you will gain valuable market insights into the untapped cold energy potential and explore existing technologies to exploit this energy resource alongside Exergy's new patented ORC-based cold energy plant (CEP).

Throughout the session, Exergy will detail the technical features of the CEP multilevel condensation cycle integrated with the Exergy Radial Outflow Turbine (ROT), showcasing their role in achieving high efficiency in LNG regasification. Through a case study application, the company will illustrate the practical advantages of this solution, improving energy sustainability and efficiency in LNG regasification.

During the production phase, natural gas undergoes compression and chilling to transform into LNG, primarily to reduce volume for ease of transportation. LNG transportation occurs in insulated cryogenic ship tanks at atmospheric pressure, necessitating the cooling of natural gas to approximately -160°C at 1 atm. Around 500 kWh/t of LNG is needed for LNG compression and refrigeration, which makes cold energy exploitation interesting from a thermodynamics point of view. Currently, cold energy utilisation accounts for less than 1% of its potential.

In this webinar, you will learn how ORCs can efficiently harness the cold energy potential contained in LNG while also facilitating natural gas regasification.

Exergy will detail the advantages of LNG regasification through ORCs compared to common regasification technologies before presenting the innovation Exergy has patented: an ORC-based cold energy plant achieving high efficiency thanks to the use of the proprietary Exergy Radial Outflow Turbine combined with a Multilevel Condensation Cycle.

During the session, Exergy will outline the advantages of it’s new solution over conventional ORC systems employed for cold energy recovery, characterised by a single level of condensation and the use of turbines with different configurations (axial or radial inflow).

Finally, in a practical case study from an LNG regasification plant size of 1 million tpy, the company will show how much electrical energy it is possible to generate with the Exergy patented cold energy plant, outlining the major performance in power production with respect to conventional ORC and the estimated benefit in term of carbon dioxide emission reduction.
