DETAILS: The U.S. Department of Energy is testing a new heat exchanger heat exchanger Any of several devices that transfer heat from a hot to a cold fluid. In many engineering applications, one fluid needs to be heated and another cooled, a requirement economically accomplished by a heat exchanger. technology to increase the efficiencies of LNG LNG (liquefied natural gas): see under natural gas. transport and storage. The United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. is increasing its imports of LNG due to diminished supplies of natural gas. This makes it important to find new ways to increase efficiencies and reduce the costs of LNG operations. The Bishop Process developed by Conversion Gas Imports LP, turns liquefied natural gas liquefied natural gas: see under natural gas. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) A product of natural gas which consists primarily of methane. Its properties are those of liquid methane, slightly modified by minor constituents. (LNG) back into its gaseous state as it is off-loaded from tanker ships. The gas then can be pumped directly to pipelines or stored in salt caverns, eliminating the need for costly above-ground tanks. The U.S. government's first field trial of the patented heat exchanger was conducted at AGL (programming) AGL - (Atelier de Genie Logiciel) French for IPSE. Resources' LNG facility in Cherokee County. Bill Bishop and Mike McCall of Conversion Gas Imports will discuss the test results during the lunch meeting.
