ABSTRACT:
In a combination of apparatus for storing liquefied natural gas which includes an insulated separation tank in which solidified carbon dioxide is settled out of liquefied natural gas and a liquefied natural gas-solidified carbon dioxide slurry accumulates, an insulated liquefied natural gas storage tank, and a conduit for delivering liquefied natural gas from the separation tank to the storage tank, the improvement comprising a conduit for withdrawing natural gas boil-off from the storage tank and feeding it to a compressor, a conduit for feeding compressed natural gas boil-off from the compressor to a heat exchanger for indirect heat exchange with a liquefied natural gas-solidified carbon dioxide slurry in the separation tank to cool the compressed natural gas to reliquefied natural gas, and a conduit to feed the reliquefied natural gas from the heat exchanger to the storage tank.
