Natural gas that is liquefied by reducing the temperature to -260oF, usually to allow for transportation by ship. Upon reaching its final destination, LNG can be re-gasified and injected into the pipeline system.
natural gas that is cooled to minus 263.2 degrees Fahrenheit in order to turn it into a liquid. It is a cleaner alternative to diesel fuel, helping to keep our air cleaner. Waste Management has the largest fleet of 100 percent natural gas trucks in the solid waste industry, with the heaviest concentration of natural gas trucks operating at Waste Management of Southern California.
Natural gas (primarily methane) which has been liquefied by reducing its temperature to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure.
Natural gas (mainly methane) in a liquid form. It is obtained by cooling natural gas to about minus 160 degrees Celsius at normal atmospheric pressure. Abbreviation: LNG.
Fuel comprising a combination of methane, ethane, propane and butane gases.
Natural gas that has been refrigerated to cryonic temperatures where the gas condenses into a liquid.
Natural gas that has been converted to a liquid by cooling it to -260° F.
Gas, mainly methane, that has been liquefied in a refrigeration and pressure process to facilitate storage or transportation.
Natural gas that has been condensed to a liquid typically by cryogenically cooling the gas.
Gas, mainly methane, liquefied under pressure and low temperature.
Natural gas (primarily methane) that has been condensed to a liquid by reducing its temperature to -260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure.
Natural gas that has been liquefied by chilling. Natural gas is liquefied to reduce its volume and thereby facilitate bulk storage and transport. (600 cubic feet of natural gas=1 cubic foot of liquefied natural gas)
Gas stored in liquid form.
Liquefied natural gas is produced by freezing natural gas to minus 162 C and liquefying it. It is then gasified again in order to produce electricity and city gas. LNG is more durable than crude oil as an energy source and can last for more than 60 years. LNG is also less harmful to the environment than other energy sources and releases less carbon dioxide than coal and petroleum when used to produce power. Domestic utilities depend on LNG-run thermal power plants for about 25% of their total power output. LNG was first imported to Japan in 1969, when Tokyo Electric Power Co. began imports from Alaska. The country currently imports about 54 million metric tons of LNG a year, making it the world's largest LNG importer. Japan obtains a majority of LNG from Australia, Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, and Middle Eastern nations, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
LNG - Natural gas that has been cooled to - 260°F ( - 163°C), which liquefies it for safer, easier transport.
(LNG) Conventional natural gas which is liquefied by reducing its temperature to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure.
natural gas (mainly methane) that has been liquefied for ease of storage and transportation. The gas is liquefied either by reducing temperature or increasing pressure.
Natural gas liquefied either by refrigeration or by pressure to facilitate storage or transportation.
Supercooled natural gas that is maintained as a liquid at or below -160°C; LNG occupies 1/640th of its original volume and is therefore easier to transport if pipelines cannot be used.
Gas that is liquefied under extremely cold temperatures and high pressure to facilitate storage or transportation in specially designed vessels.
Reducing the temperature of natural gas to minus 259 degrees at atmospheric pressure will convert the gas into a liquid. Its volume as a liquid is about 1/600 compared to its volume as a gas.
The liquid form of natural gas.
An alternative fuel; a natural gas cooled to below its boiling point of -260 degrees Fahrenheit so that it becomes a liquid; stored in a vacuum bottle-type container at very low temperatures and under moderate pressure. LNG vapor is lighter than air.
Natural gas that has been cooled to a cryogenic -259 degrees Fahrenheit (-161 degrees Celsius) and condensed into a liquid which is colorless, odorless, non-corrosive and non-toxic. LNG weighs less than half the weight of water.
Natural gas converted to liquid form by cooling to a very low temperature.
Natural gas which has been transformed into a liquid state. Due to its high energy density, constant calorific value and high purity, LNG has high potential as a future vehicle fuel.
When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of approximately -160°C at atmospheric pressure it condenses to a liquid called liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas is composed primarily of methane (typically, at least 90%), but may also contain ethane, propane and heavier hydrocarbons.
Natural gas which is cooled and maintained as a liquid at -160o Celcius, reduced in volume nearly 600-fold. When shipped by tanker, it is typically vapourized at the receiving terminal for pipeline transport.
A method to store natural gas. Natural gas can be converted to a liquid state by pressure and severe cooling, and then returned to its original form to be used as a fuel.
Natural gas which has been liquefied by reducing its temperature to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure. It remains a liquid at minus 116 degrees Fahrenheit and 673 psig. In volume, it occupies 1/600 of that of the vapor at standard conditions.
LNG is natural gas (primarily methane) that has been liquefied by reducing its temperature to -260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure.
LNG. A liquid composed chiefly of natural gas (i.e., mostly methane). Natural gas is liquefied to make it easier to transport if a pipeline is not feasible (as across a body of water). Not as easily liquefied as liquefied petroleum gas, LNG must be put under low temperature and high pressure to become liquefied.
Natural gas that has been cooled to -259 degrees Fahrenheit (-161 degrees Celsius) and at which point it is condensed into a liquid which is colorless, odorless, non-corrosive and non-toxic. Characterized as a cryogenic liquid.
Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas that has been processed to remove either valuable components e.g. helium, or those impurities that could cause difficulty downstream, e.g. water, and heavy hydrocarbons and then condensed into a liquid at almost atmospheric pressure (Maximum Transport Pressure set around 25 kPa) by cooling it to approximately -163 degrees Celsius. LNG is transported by specially designed cryogenic sea vessels and cryogenic road tankers; and stored in specially designed tanks. LNG is about 1/614th the volume of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP), making it much more cost-efficient to transport over long distances where pipelines do not exist.
