COMPARISON AAV, SAV,

AND IFV (WITH GLYCOL

 AMBIENT AIR VAPORIZE (AAV)
Ambient Air Vaporize (AAV) adalah salah satu metode regasifikasi dengan
memanfaatkan suhu ambient udara yang ada dilingkungan sebagai
pemanas untuk memanaskan low boiling liquid dari LNG. Metode ini sangat
cocok diterapkan pada daerah yang memiliki iklim tropis. Hal ini disebabkan
suhu ambient udara pada daerah tropis cenderung stabil.
Prinsip dari metode ini adalah seperti heat exchanger dimana LNG
sebagai media yang dipanaskan dan udara sebagai pemanasnya.
 SUBMERGED COMBUSTION
VAPORIZER (SCV)
Dalam SCV, aliran LNG melewati tube Submerged di Water Bath. Water Bath
ini akan dipanaskan oleh flue gas dari proses pembakaran.
 INTERMEDIATE FLUID VAPORIZER
(IFV)
Metode regasifikasi dengan cara memanaskan LNG lewat bantuan fluida
sebagai media transfer panas.
