Optimizing LNG Regasification Plants – Design and Performance Insights

Cryonorm designs and delivers high-efficiency LNG​ regasification systems that maximize throughput, minimize energy consumption, and ensure operational reliability—regardless of environmental conditions. Our solutions integrate ambient-air, steam-heated, and water-heated vaporizers, tailored to meet the specific needs of LNG terminals worldwide.

Ambient-Air Vaporizers (AAVs)

  • Large-surface finned-tube bundles engineered for high thermal efficiency
  • Integrated HVAC options for air pre-heating in sub-zero climates, reducing frost formation to ≤ 1%
  • Broad turndown ratio (30–100%) enables flexible operation for batch or continuous unloading

Steam-Heated Vaporizers (SHVs)

  • Multi-pass coil design ensures uniform steam distribution and low pressure drop
  • Closed-loop flash steam recovery system pre-heats condensate, reducing boiler fuel consumption by up to 15%
  • Modular skid-mounted systems simplify installation, integration, and maintenance

Water-Heated Vaporizers (WHVs)

  • Optimized for seawater or waste-heat loop supply
  • Fabricated from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (316L) for marine durability
  • In-line automatic back-flush system prevents fouling and maintains consistent performance

Advanced Heat Integration

  • Cascade-loop design reuses cold LNG vapor for pre-cooling feed streams
  • Multi-effect vaporization utilizes low-grade waste heat to reduce external utility demand
  • Smart control logic automatically switches between AAV, SHV, and WHV based on ambient and fuel gas conditions

With these optimized technologies, Cryonorm helps LNG terminal operators increase capacity, reduce OPEX, and enhance system reliability.
