Abstract: NATURAL gas is being used in more homes and in greater quantities every day. This is especially true for space heating. Likewise commercial and industrial installations are finding it advantageous to use more natural gas. Part of this increase in demand results from the fact that a minimum amount of air pollution is caused by the burning of this type of fuel as compared with other types of fossil fuels. The greatest consumption of natural gas is in the most populated areas of the United States. Natural gas is produced in regions quite remote from most large population centers. Huge systems of natural gas pipe lines are used to transport the fuel from the gas fields to the utility gas companies. The capacity of the line is limited by the volume of firm gas it can deliver during periods of peak demand. This results in the phenomenal growth of LNG plants for peak shaving at locations near the population centers. Satellite storage plants for LNG are increasing rapidly in number. These are attractive because a single liquefaction plant can serve more than one storage plant. Also the satellite storage plant can be located far from the pipeline supply and is able to handle base load gas for isolated communities.
