This seminar discusses liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel for marine engines. LNG produces significantly lower emissions of CO2, NOx, particulate matter, and SOx compared to conventional marine fuels. It provides an option for ships to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The seminar covers the properties, advantages, and risks of using LNG as a marine fuel. It finds that LNG from certain countries like Algeria have compositions that produce higher heating values and better combustion. Risks of LNG include fires, explosions, and asphyxiation if leaks occur. Proper safety regulations and infrastructure are needed for wider adoption of LNG as a marine fuel.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is rapidly changing the structure of the global gas industry.
Flexible in transportation, safe in use, and competitive in supply, LNG today has already won more than 40% of the physical volume of world gas exports and is expected to reach 60% by 2040. In 2020, the development of the LNG market underwent significant transformations, as the COVID-19 pandemic posed a challenge to the global economy.
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, is a mixture of propane and butane that can be liquefied under pressure for storage and transport. It was first developed in the early 1900s and is now widely used as a fuel, especially for cooking and vehicles. LPG is produced during the processing of natural gas and oil refining. It provides a clean-burning alternative fuel and is used in over 40 countries around the world for various applications including household, commercial, industrial, and agricultural uses.
Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It requires additives to be safer and more stable than other fuels. Jet fuel and avgas are the most common aviation fuels, with jet fuel being used in most commercial and military planes due to its efficiency. Aviation fuel consists of over 2000 chemicals, primarily hydrocarbons and additives, to be reliable and prevent issues like icing or explosions. It has advantages like high efficiency and reliability but is heavier than other fuels. Biofuels are being developed and tested as more sustainable aviation fuel alternatives.
The document discusses natural gas liquefaction (LNG) and compression (CNG) technologies for vehicle fueling. It provides an overview of Clean Energy Fuels and IMW Industries, which supply natural gas fueling infrastructure and services. The document covers the basics of natural gas processing and discusses LNG and CNG fueling station components, vehicle fueling procedures, and other applications of LNG including rail, marine, and power generation.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is natural gas that has been compressed for use as a vehicle fuel or to heat homes and cook food. Natural gas forms from decomposing organic material and is mostly methane. It is extracted and purified, then compressed to 1% of its volume at atmospheric pressure to form CNG. CNG vehicles are becoming more popular due to CNG's reduced emissions compared to gasoline, the abundant natural gas resources in the US, and because natural gas pipelines already exist in many areas. However, CNG is flammable, displaces oxygen, and must be handled cautiously.
Lubrication is important to reduce friction between moving parts and prevent damage. Lubricants like oils minimize friction and energy loss from rubbing surfaces. The main functions of lubricating oil are to reduce friction and wear, act as a coolant, reduce noise, provide sealing and cushioning. Good lubricants have properties like high viscosity index, chemical and thermal stability, cleanliness and resistance to extreme pressure. Lubricants can be mineral oils from petroleum, synthetic or animal/vegetable oils, and come as liquids, greases or solids. Lubrication systems include splash, pressure and dry sump to deliver oil under pressure to engine components like bearings and gears.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to liquid form for storage or transport. It takes up 600 times less space than gas in its gaseous state. LNG is predominantly methane and is odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. It can be transported via tankers and re-gasified for distribution as pipeline natural gas. Global LNG demand is expected to continue growing significantly in the coming decades as new supply projects are developed. Bangladesh currently imports LNG through floating storage and regasification units but is also considering developing permanent land-based LNG facilities.

This document provides an overview of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as an alternative fuel for transportation. It defines LPG, compares it to compressed natural gas, and discusses its production, properties, advantages, applications, and performance/emissions when used in vehicles. LPG is produced as a byproduct of oil refining or natural gas processing. It consists mainly of propane and butane and is stored and transported as a liquid under pressure. When used as a vehicle fuel, it is less polluting than gasoline but requires installation of an LPG conversion kit involving a fuel storage tank, pressure regulator, and injectors.
This document discusses MAN Diesel & Turbo's exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from ships to meet upcoming Tier III standards. It provides an overview of EGR, including the system layout, key components, control system, and initial service experience on MAN engines equipped with EGR. EGR works by recirculating a portion of exhaust gas into the engine to reduce combustion temperatures and lower NOx production. MAN has conducted successful sea trials of EGR technology and found no adverse impacts to engine components after over 700 hours of operation.
Petroleum, or crude oil, is a thick, flammable liquid found beneath the earth's surface that is the precursor to many useful products. It is obtained through oil drilling and refined into fuels like gasoline and diesel. The top petroleum producing countries are located in the Middle East and Russia. Petroleum is essential for transportation fuels and many other industries that produce plastics, fabrics, and medicines. While it provides an energy-dense fuel source, dependence on petroleum also contributes to environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions and oil spills.
The document summarizes an event about alternative fuels and technologies held in Jackson, WY. It includes presentations on propane, biodiesel, electric vehicles, compressed natural gas.

It discusses the coalition's mission to displace petroleum use and improve air quality through alternative fuels like biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas and propane. One session will focus on compressed natural gas vehicles.
Natural gas can be transported via pipelines, as liquefied natural gas (LNG), or compressed natural gas (CNG). Pipelines are the most common method and have high reliability but lack flexibility. LNG and CNG allow for transportation of remote gas reserves but require large investments for processing infrastructure. Natural gas can also be converted to liquids (gas-to-liquids) or used to generate electricity on-site (gas-to-wire) to enable transportation. Underground storage plays a key role in meeting seasonal demand fluctuations and peak loads.

This document is a project thesis evaluating technical challenges and need for standardization in LNG bunkering. It provides an overview of the LNG supply chain and safety aspects. LNG bunkering is presented as a solution to reduce emissions and meet new regulations while providing economic advantages over other fuels. The thesis aims to assess critical areas for LNG bunkering through a review of technical processes, equipment, current standards, and barriers to market competition.
LNG has potential as a ship fuel due to its clean burning properties and lower cost compared to diesel. However, it requires specialized cryogenic storage tanks, fuel systems, and safety precautions. Medium speed dual fuel engines are the most common propulsion option and allow ships to run on either LNG or diesel. Key challenges include the lack of LNG bunkering infrastructure and higher capital costs. Ferries and other short-sea vessels are generally best suited for LNG due to storage and bunkering requirements. The document discusses ship design considerations and options for LNG usage.
Brown Bag (Roy) - EEDI for LNG TankersBiswajoy Roy
This document summarizes a study on energy efficiency regulations for LNG carriers. It examines 493 LNG carriers using four main propulsion technologies: steam turbine, dual fuel diesel electric, slow speed diesel with reliquefaction, and main engine gas injection. The study calculates the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for each technology both with and without considering methane slip. It finds that current EEDI regulations do not properly account for methane slip and may not incentivize reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The document proposes policy alternatives like setting more stringent EEDI reduction targets, updating the EEDI baseline, including methane slip in calculations, and using correction factors. The conclusions are that the EEDI needs revision to make

Assessments Of Measures To Reduce Future Co2 Emissions From ShippingGeorge Teriakidis
The document discusses measures available to reduce CO2 emissions from shipping by 2030. It presents an overview of technical measures like improved hull design and use of alternative fuels like natural gas. Natural gas produces less CO2 than oil but infrastructure challenges remain. Wind propulsion through kites is being tested on ships but efficiency depends on wind. Fuel cells have very low emissions but high costs are a barrier. The document evaluates these measures' emission reduction potential and cost-effectiveness to identify priorities and the need for further innovation to achieve significant reductions beyond stabilizing emissions.
The Aquarius MRE System uses rigid sails and solar panels to harness wind and solar power to help propel ships and provide energy when in port, with the goal of reducing ships' fossil fuel usage and emissions by an estimated 10-20% annually. Rigid sails and power storage modules capture energy from the wind and sun that can be used for ship propulsion or when docked. Integrating these renewable energy technologies aims to transform shipping industry sustainability.
There is little doubt that the future of shipping will not remain the same as it is today. At Wärtsilä, a small team - prompted by the inevitable effect that growing global energy demand and increasingly stringent environmental legislation to combat climate change - has been working on future visions for the shipping sector.

V 1 presentation on safety aspects of lpg handling and storageImran Bokhari
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of Propane and Butanes, with Propane content of 30 to 60 percent and Butanes content of 40 to 70 percent. LPG can exist in liquid state at moderate pressure at ambient temperature. It is colorless, odorless, highly volatile and heavier than air (even at ambient conditions) substance. It easily forms combustible/explosive mixture when released in air, thus posing unique safety issues. Besides being a combustible substance posing fire hazard, LPG due to its nature also poses threats of cold burns and suffocation. LPG is being extensively used as fuel in homes, restaurants, transportation and some industries. In this presentation we have discussed in detail a major HSE related incident that have occurred in the past and mitigation strategies for the same. The required safety devices and their engineering design features in LPG extraction plant to avoid accidents are also discussed.

It describes different types of fires and appropriate firefighting methods like dry chemical powder, foam, and water depending on the situation. Special characteristics of LNG fires are also highlighted.
Calorimeter to measure the calorific value of fuelsatechnicalboard
Calorimetry is the field of science that deals with the measurement of the state of a body with respect to the thermal aspects in order to examine its physical and chemical changes. The changes could be physical such as melting, evaporation or could also be chemical such as burning, acid-base neutralisation etc.
A calorimeter is what is used to measure the thermal changes of a body.
Calorimetry is applied extensively in the fields of thermochemistry in calculating the enthalpy, stability, heat capacity etc.
What Is a Calorimeter?
A calorimeter is a device used for heat measurements necessary for calorimetry. It mainly consists of a metallic vessel made of materials which are good conductors of electricity such as copper and aluminium etc. There is also a facility for stirring the contents of the vessel. This metallic vessel with a stirrer is kept in an insulating jacket to prevent heat loss to the environment. There is just one opening through which a thermometer can be inserted to measure the change in thermal properties inside. Let us discuss how exactly heat measurements are made. In the previous article, we discussed the specific heat capacity of substances.
Such measurements can be made easily with this. Say in a calorimeter a fixed amount of fuel is burned. The vessel is filled with water, and the fuel is burned, leading to the heating of the water. Heat loss by the fuel is equal to the heat gained by the water. This is why it is important to insulate the calorimeter from the environment; to improve the accuracy of the experiment. This change in heat can be measured through the thermometer. Through such a measurement, we can find out both the heat capacity of water and also the energy stored inside a fuel.
Uses of Calorimetry
It is well known now that matter always obeys the principle of lowest energy i.e. given the option, the matter will exist in the lowest energy state possible. Despite this, matter can have a variety of energetic states. Uranium atoms, for example, are a powerhouse.
The energy of matter has a profound effect on its natural occurrence and its reactivity etc. If we can unravel the relationship between them, then we can predict the natural occurrence, reactivity and physical properties based on the energy measurements we make through calorimetry. Understanding the thermodynamic properties of a substance will inevitably yield answers to structure and other properties.
This document discusses fuels and exhaust emissions from marine engines. It describes various fuel types including marine gasoil, marine diesel oil, and heavy fuel oil. Heavy fuel oil poses challenges such as water contamination, sludge formation, poor pumpability, and combustion issues. When burned, it produces exhaust emissions like carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and particulate matter. These emissions harm human health and contribute to issues like climate change, acid rain, and toxic algal blooms. The IMO regulates emissions through conventions like MARPOL and encourages new engine technologies to reduce pollution.
1) Automobiles are a major source of air pollutants like CO, hydrocarbons, NOx, and lead.
2) The formation of pollutants depends on factors like the air-fuel ratio, compression, and spark timing in internal combustion engines.
3) Leaner fuel mixtures and higher compression reduce CO but increase NOx, while retarded spark timing lowers maximum combustion temperatures to reduce both CO and NOx.
637InternalComb (1).ppt about engine of vehicleRamdhaniD
Automobiles are a major source of air pollutants like CO, NMHC, NOx, and Pb in developing countries. Their exhaust is the primary cause of photochemical smog. Internal combustion engines produce pollutants through incomplete combustion in the quench zone and as temperatures decrease in the exhaust. Nitric oxide (NO) forms through the Zeldovich mechanism and its concentration is controlled by reaction kinetics, favoring higher temperatures. Diesel engines generate more NOx and soot than gasoline engines due to their hotter, leaner combustion.
Hydrogen energy sources - generation and storageShantam Warkad
Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element on earth
It consists of only one proton and one electron.
Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn't typically exist by itself in nature and must be produced from compounds that contain it.
This document discusses specifications for heavy fuel oil used in ship engines, including density, viscosity, flash point, pour point, calorific value, water content, ash content, and sodium and vanadium levels. It explains that density, viscosity, flash point, and pour point are important parameters that determine whether the fuel can be stored, pumped, atomized, and burned efficiently in the engine. The fuel requires processing like settling, centrifuging, filtering and heating to condition it for use.
The document discusses petroleum refining, cracking, and methods of producing synthetic petrol. It describes how crude oil is refined through separation, conversion, and treatment processes like distillation. Cracking breaks large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more useful molecules through thermal or catalytic cracking. Synthetic petrol can be produced via polymerization, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from syngas, or Bergius process where coal is hydrogenated over a catalyst into liquid fuels.
1. The document discusses internal combustion engines and the formation of gaseous pollutants and photochemical smog.
2. It describes how tuning factors like air-fuel ratio, compression, timing, and exhaust gas recycling can impact emissions of pollutants like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides from automobile engines.
3. The formation of nitrogen oxides is explained through the Zeldovich mechanism and equations are provided for the rate of nitric oxide formation over time as exhaust gases cool.
- Automobiles are a major source of air pollutants like CO, NMHC, NOx, and Pb in developing countries.
- Four-stroke engines generate CO, NOx, and some HC from the exhaust. Two-stroke engines generate aerosols, CO, VOCs but little NOx. Diesel engines produce NOx and soot but little CO.
- The formation of NOx from internal combustion engines is controlled by kinetics, not equilibrium. High exhaust temperatures favor NOx formation, while cooling "freezes" the NOx levels.
Experimental investigation of the effect of hydrogen addition on combustion p...Amiya K. Sahoo
The world is presently confronted with two major issues; fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation. Indiscriminate extraction and high consumption of fossil fuels have led to reduction in crude oil resources. The search for an alternative fuel, which promises a harmonious correlation with sustainable development, energy conservation, management, efficiency, and environmental preservation, has become highly pronounced in the present context.
One approach to reduce these problems is by blending hydrogen gas with hydrocarbon fuels used in internal combustion engines.Recently, using hydrogen or hydrogen-gasoline blends as a supplement fuel for spark ignition and compression ignition engines is one of the potential solutions for improving brake thermal efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and pollution emissions from internal combustion engines.
In this paper, advantages and disadvantages of Hydrogen-Gasoline fuels in the context of combustion engines are discussed, and combustion performances and emission characteristics are experimentally investigated at various hydrogen volume fraction and graphs are plotted.

Slides from my talk at MinneAnalytics 2024 - June 7, 2024
https://datatech2024.sched.com/event/1eO0m/time-state-analytics-a-new-paradigm
Across many domains, we see a growing need for complex analytics to track precise metrics at Internet scale to detect issues, identify mitigations, and analyze patterns. Think about delays in airlines (Logistics), food delivery tracking (Apps), detect fraudulent transactions (Fintech), flagging computers for intrusion (Cybersecurity), device health (IoT), and many more.
For instance, at Conviva, our customers want to analyze the buffering that users on some types of devices suffer, when using a specific CDN.
We refer to such problems as Multidimensional Time-State Analytics. Time-State here refers to the stateful context-sensitive analysis over event streams needed to capture metrics of interest, in contrast to simple aggregations. Multidimensional refers to the need to run ad hoc queries to drill down into subpopulations of interest. Furthermore, we need both real-time streaming and offline retrospective analysis capabilities.
In this talk, we will share our experiences to explain why state-of-art systems offer poor abstractions to tackle such workloads and why they suffer from poor cost-performance tradeoffs and significant complexity.
We will also describe Conviva’s architectural and algorithmic efforts to tackle these challenges. We present early evidence on how raising the level of abstraction can reduce developer effort, bugs, and cloud costs by (up to) an order of magnitude, and offer a unified framework to support both streaming and retrospective analysis. We will also discuss how our ideas can be plugged into existing pipelines and how our new ``visual'' abstraction can democratize analytics across many domains and to non-programmers.

4. INTRODUCTION
• From the viewpoints of low environmental pollution and the use of
alternate fuel, The International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
introduced regulations to reduce the Sulphur content in fuels to 0.10%
for all ships that pass through emissions control areas .
• At present mainly used marine fuels are Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Marine
Gas Oil (MGO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO).
• From all alternative fuels, LNG as fuel is now a proven and available
reduced emission fuel even though it has some risk factors.
• It is extremely important to analyze and safety evaluate fire and
explosion risk of LNG ships. It is necessary for the proper functioning
of these machines. 4
5. • For many decades natural gas has been used as fuel for private cars. More
recently it is used in marine engines.
• Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is liquid fluid basically composed of methane,
containing traces of ethane, propane, nitrogen or other components usually
present in natural gas as well, the density of which is 447 kg /m3 .
• LNG is produced by purifying natural gas and super-cooling. . At
atmospheric pressure methane becomes liquid at -162°C. LNG therefore is a
cryogenic liquid. The process is known as liquefaction.
• Natural gas is cooled below its boiling point, removing most of the
compounds found in the fuel. the remaining natural gas is primarily methane
with small amounts of other hydrocarbons.

6. IMPORTANCE OF LNG
• LNG as a fuel shows a large energy to volume ratio.
• LNG combustion is characterized by low levels of production of CO2,
SOx, NOx and particulate matter in comparison to conventional fuels. To
reduce the emission of SOx into the atmosphere the sulphur content of
heavy fuel oils used for marine propulsion will be restricted in the near
future.
• Natural gas prices has been reduced the last few years due to the
introduction of shale gas in the US market. This is a reason that LNG has
improved its competitiveness to HFO, especially on ECA’s areas .

countries it has greater heating power for complete combustion.
• Wobbe number varies with specific gravity, flow velocity and
heating value of composition.

11. RISK ANALYSIS OF LNG
11
1. Fire risk
• LNG is highly flammable and explosive substance having rapid flame
propagation, large mass burning rate about 2 times more than gasoline.
• Liquefied natural gas in the ships are stored at low temperature ( -
162°C) and atmospheric pressure. Liquid cargo of ultra-low temperature
contacting with general hull, because local cooling produces excessive
thermal stress, will make the hull brittle fractures spontaneously, and
loses ductility, thereby endangering the entire ship's structure.
• .Breakage in the combination of working pipeline and loading and
unloading system, rupture in liquid hold, collision and other factors may
lead to leakage of liquefied gas, which will result in fire accidents when
encountering fire.
12. 12
2. Risk of vapour cloud explosion
• The boiling point of LNG (taking methane into account) is 162°C ,
easy to be gasified. Volume of gasified LNG in unit will increase 625
times.
• Once spherical tanks of liquefied natural gas in LNG ship leaks, initial
flash vaporization of the leaking liquefied natural gas occurs in the air.
• It generates lots of steam instantaneously, mixing with surrounding air
and then diluted and heated to form flammable gas cloud with air, and
reaching explosive concentrations (5% to15%), which will lead to vapour
cloud explosion when encountering fire.
13. 13
3. Boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE)
• When liquefied natural gas spherical tanks on the ship are heated or exposed to
external flame for a long time, the intensity of spherical tanks will gradually
decreases.
• When the intensity decreases to a certain extent, the sphere will suddenly burst,
resulting pressure suddenly reduces, and liquefied natural gas vaporizes and burn
rapidly, resulting in boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE)
accidents.
• The energy of steam explosion derives from two sides. On the one hand,
liquefied natural gas sphere itself is a high-pressure container. On the other hand,
intense burning of liquefied natural gas can release enormous heat, resulting in a
huge fireball and strong thermal radiation.
14. 14
4. Rapid Phase Transitions (RPT)
• Rapid Phase Transitions occur when the temperature difference between
a hot liquid and a cold liquid is sufficient to drive the cold liquid rapidly to
its superheat limit, resulting in spontaneous and explosive boiling of the
cold liquid.
• When a cryogenic liquid such as LNG is suddenly heated by contacting
a warm liquid such as water, explosive boiling of the LNG can occur,
resulting in localized overpressure releases. Energy releases equivalent to
several kilograms of high explosive have been observed.
• The impacts of this phenomenon will be localized near the spill source
and should not cause extensive structural damage.
15. 15
5. Asphyxiation
• Methane is considered a simple asphyxiant, but has low toxicity to
humans.
• If a spill occurs and the vapour does not ignite, it would build to higher
concentrations. At higher concentrations, the vaporized methane will cause
an asphyxiation hazard to anyone exposed.
• If a spill or leak followed by a vaporization event were to occur in or
near water, then water in contact with the spilled LNG can accelerate the
vaporization process and increase the concentration of vapour in the
immediate area.
16. 16
6. Cryogenic Burns and Structural Damage
• If LNG liquid contacts the skin, it can cause cryogenic burns.
• Potential degradation of the structural integrity of an LNG ship could
occur, because LNG can have a very damaging impact on the integrity of
many steels and common ship structural connections, such as welds.
• Both the ship itself and other LNG cargo tanks could be damaged from
a large spill.
7. Combustion and Thermal Damage
• LNG spill can result in thermal and pressure loading.
• Thermal loads are very dependent on the rate of energy conversion .
• Pressure loads are very dependent on the power density.
• The heat release rate per unit volume. Thus, how combustion occurs is
as important to the consequences of a spill as is the energy available.
17. 17
8. LNG Fireballs
• Two types of combustion modes might produce damaging pressure:
‘deflagration’ and ‘detonation’.
• Deflagration is a rapid combustion that progresses through an unburned
fuel-air mixture at subsonic velocities.
• Detonation is an extremely rapid combustion that progresses through an
unburned fuel-air mixture at supersonic velocities.
• Ignition of a vapour cloud will cause the vapour to burn back to the spill
source. This is generally referred to as a ‘fireball’, which, by its nature,
generates relatively low pressures.
• It has a low potential for pressure damage to structures.
19. PROPERTIES OF LNG
19
• LNG is simply natural gas that has been cooled to its liquid state at atmospheric
pressure at 260°F (-162.2°C) .
• Currently, imported LNG is commonly 95% – 97% methane, with the remainder a
combination of ethane, propane, and other heavier gases.
• LNG is transported at ambient pressures.
• LNG vapour, which reduces the gas into a practical size for transportation and
storage, reduces the volume that the gas occupies more than 600 times.
• LNG is considered a flammable liquid.
• LNG vapour is colourless, odourless, and non-toxic.
• LNG vapour typically appears as a visible white cloud, because its cold
temperature condenses water vapour present in the atmosphere.

20
21. DISADVANTAGES
• Design & retrofit cost compared to switching to distillates
• Time required for ship to be taken out of service for the retrofit
operations
• Bunkering challenges
• Statutory challenges
• LNG fuel cost pricing challenges
• LNG infrastructure challenges
• More tank space required to accommodate enough LNG to cover all
the itineraries
• Onshore bunkering logistics are still under development
• Rules still under development
• More sophisticated fuel equipment is required
21
22. CONCLUSION
• The risks connected with the use of LNG depend very much on its
state at the moment of release. If ignition does not occur at the
moment of release. Immediate ignition results in pool fires. Large
storage facilities should be provided with retention walls.
• The better fit of LNG fuel to shorter transport routes that enable
frequent fuelling.
• With proper safety regulations, LNG fuels offer significant local
pollution emissions advantages in the marine transport sector over
traditional marine petroleum fuels.
