LNG Technologies & RLNG Technologies course for Chemical Engineers

Course fee: 36,000/-   Duration: 3 Months

Natural gas exists in nature under pressure in rock reservoirs in the Earth’s crust. It is available either in conjunction with and dissolved in heavier hydrocarbons and water or by itself. It is produced from the reservoir similarly to or in conjunction with crude oil. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a cryogenic liquid. It is refrigerated to a very low temperature to transport safely and efficiently over long distances by a gas pipeline supply. With the high energy density of LNG and the low cost relative to petroleum, LNG can be a more cost-effective alternative to diesel in many electricity, heating and transportation applications.
