Two-Stage Rankine Cycle Configurations Increase Energy Recovery at LNG Terminals

Researchers at The University of Western Australia have identified a method to increase energy recovery from liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals by utilizing two-stage Rankine cycle configurations. This approach converts the cryogenic temperatures inherent in LNG into usable electric power, addressing the loss of cold energy typically associated with the regasification process.

The study examines how reheating processes within these two-stage cycles optimize the conversion efficiency of the system. By applying these configurations, the researchers aim to capture energy that is otherwise dissipated during the transition of LNG from a liquid to a gaseous state. The findings provide technical data on how specific cycle adjustments influence the overall power output at industrial terminals, offering a framework for managing the thermal energy released during LNG processing.
